I found out, its hard to capture/focus on bubbles
I drove my auto focus nuts trying to capture these

Your autofocus was probably relieved in the last two with something to lock onto Fun results.

Yeah, I think it would be hard with those smaller moving objects for the AF to pick a target and stick with it. But at least your camera did finally do it. G back 20 years and the AF systems back then would have probably just locked on the background.

I do like the last one the best. In fact that last one is really super cool. What did you set your aperture too for DOF?

While you couldn't lock onto the bubbles in the first two, the bokeh 'bubbles' are a fun target in its own right. More than the ability of the current tech in terms of AF abilities, I marvel at the images people produced with manual focus lenses in the past. We are spoilt.

thanks, it was fun captuting it and playing with settings
The last one settings were

We can always just reach up to the lens and switch off auto focus of course.
