Water Photography: Trapping Bubbles

After many attempts, the settings were finally calibrated to capture the shot I am looking for.
Focus and shutter speed are the two key components to photographing the air bubbles as they rise.
Focus: held half or partway into the container
Shutter speed: no less than 1/800
A low ISO is easily determined with a back-lit subject

To introduce air bubbles simply use a food syringe filled with plain water or water with food coloring.
Hold filled syringe above frame
Set timed multiple photo capture
