July 2016 ... "Sparkles, Glitter, and Bubbles"

"Sparkles, Glitter and Bubbles" This theme can take you into various areas of interest. It could be an event, a landscape, a shot set up in studio... It is up to you how you interpret and capture the theme.

HOW you create it is up to you. The idea is to challenge you to think outside of the box for this one. Set it up, stage it, enhance it in post processing, or just get lucky. Your creativity is limited only by your imagination.



There ya go, let's get shooting! CREATIVITY/TECHNIQUE rules in this challenge, but there are a few guidelines:

1. Any photo submitted for a monthly assignment must be taken using a Nikon Camera!

2. All submissions must be taken during the month specified in the assignment thread and taken by YOU! (Please insure that EXIF is either posted with the photo or if it gets messed up, hold yourself to the honor system and add the minimum Exif data of the Camera used and the date the photo was taken to your post)

2. Obviously, for this challenge, your photo must portray something "Sparkling, Glittering, and Bubbles." Other than that, it's all up to your interpretation of the theme. Any photo will be accepted, SOOC or edited, doesn't matter.

3. Photos must be posted in this thread to be considered. Links to photos will not be considered an entry.

4. Only THREE entries per member for each assignment. Please post entries separately (1 photo per post) and number the entry.

5. Entries will be judged by the number of likes received.

6. The top 5 shots will be displayed in a separate thread, and will be displayed in no particular order.

7. This is intended to be a FUN challenge. No critiques unless specifically asked. Also, please limit posts to just photos and brief descriptions/titles. Any comments/discussion should occur elsewhere, PLEASE.

As listed in other challenges, please note: NO CASH OR PRIZES will be awarded for this Monthly Assignment.

HAVE FUN, can't wait to see the results!!

My wife, @Seanette, in a glittery bubble bath. Light glitter sprinkled on top of the suds, and a light arranged to make it sparkle.

Second entry.

Tonight, my wife and I revisited the same concept that we shot earlier this month—her, in a bubble bath, with glitter sprinkled on top of the bubbles. On the whole, I don't know that we got any better results that before. In some ways, I think this is better than the earlier entry, and in other ways, perhaps not so good.

This time, I used my ancient non-Ai 50mm ƒ/1.4, with various stencil cutouts to shape the out-of-focus glitter. For this shot, it was a heart-shaped cutout, so the sparkles came out heart-shaped.
