You'd be surprised at just how difficult it is to get a shot of water from a fountain. The focus wants to be on something other than the stream of water. I switched to a manual focus for this one.

The next one I did get outside, and it's a bit odd. I call it, Water Under Glass

There are these landscape ground lights outside our office, supposed to light the sign on the brick entrance way (it doesn't work at the moment). There's water inside the light fixture... I thought it was kinda cool.
And lastly... how could I possibly get away without this "next shot"?

Like a Duck to water... I couldn't resist playing in the puddles. :D
Thanks for checking things out. :D
Great set Duckie....

Duckie, these are awesome! I've been taking photos at 2 lakes, the kitchen sink and the bathtub, and I think they all suck. After seeing yours, now I REALLY think they suck!! LOL Guess I'll keep trying. :)

Of course I love the little Duckie..

ReplyDeleteNext Shot Water B&W

ReplyDeleteNext Shot Week # 3 ~ Black & White
I love all 3...really they are great pics dude!
ReplyDeleteAll of these just the best - each in their own way - Great water fountain- good thing about having to take extra time is the result of hard work - so much more enjoyable and satisfying than turning up to the perfect reflective scenery and just framing the shot - really well done!! Nice work on the water under glass too and of course the duck!!!! Fantastic !!
