Bubbling light

More fun with varying exposure.

This time our subject is an illumnated fountain inside the Bonaventure Hotel, as shot from above.

We start with a 1/13 second exposure (F/4.5) , which gives little detail on the water burbling up (but does show some detail on the palm next to it):

Then we move to 1/40 second (and open the shutter a bit to F/3.5 to compensate) , and we start to make out the bubbles (the palm gets darker):
And finally to 1/160 second (still F/3.5) , where we can see the apex of the water shooting up and the distinct bubbles in the foam circling out (but the palm is almost completely lost):
Here's a close-crop on that last shot, which is really what speeding it up was going for:


(Apologies to real photographers, who wouldn't bother with this nonsense. I suppose it's only because I'm still learning that I find this remotely interesting.)
