one more image... again, not particularly close (indeed, i took this shot from over 6 feet away) but there's precious little choice in terms of which discussion forum to post such things on, so here it is. it's a soap bubble, perched on a stalk of wild grass. a young girl was blowing bubbles as she walked through a park. i was walking some distance behind her, having come there to photograph birds, and had only my 80-400 lens on the camera. most of the bubbles popped or drifted off, but this one lit on the grass without bursting, so i thought i'd try to get a photo. i hurried to as close as my lens would focus, composed the image to produce a nice, contrasting background (i had to crouch to get this angle; the dark area is actually blackberry bushes in shade about 15 feet behind the bubble), and snapped 3 shots before the bubble burst. 30D, 80-400 lens @ 350mm, 1/250 @ f5.6.
