Bubble Reflection

Reflection

Here is a quick pic that with one minor focus setting you can get a sharp and focused picture.   With the Canon line of cameras there are three focus settings: One Shot, AI Focus, and AI Servo.  I am sure there are Nikon settings that mirror this, I am just not familiar with them.  For an object in constant motion, change the focus setting to AI Servo and put the lens in auto focus.  This will allow the camera to track the focus of the bubble as it floats through the air.  Without the AI Focus setting, the chances of getting a truly in focus picture would be hit or miss.  Because the bubble is in motion, you will also want to increase the shutter speed.  The camera settings are below the pictures.

For this picture I actually got two reflections: One of me taking the picture and one of my brother playing with the kids making the bubbles.
