Hi fisheyeadventures,

Nice video. I liked the soap bubbles, so much color!

Your still shots looked much better than the videos. I saw this especially with the Kiwi skin. Are you focus stacking?

Thank you!:)
Most of the Videos were filmed handheld at F2.8 at a low shutter speed (to get a low ISO) which makes them look a bit blurry with a very small depth of field. The Stills were taken with a flash and my DIY Diffuser at F9-F11, ISO100 (large depth of field, no image stacking necessary).

The Bubble Shots were filmed at F11 with quite high ISO and a little bit of noise.
