You have 7 days to photograph water as a liquid, live and in person.
Two parts Hydrogen, One part Oxygen. Odorless, flavorless, and almost invisible, water is essential for life. Water is also a wonderful subject for a photographer, and this week we’re hoping your imagination is turned on and your camera is well protected in case you decide to make a splash! There are so many ways to capture water. If you like a dreamy waterfall, slow shutter is your friend, but if you love the frozen-looking drops that go flying when you burst a water balloon, you’ll want a fast shutter speed (and our Extra Challenge of 1/4000+ will be just the ticket!). Life gets busy, and those plans for hiking to a waterfall have to be exchanged for something closer to home. Maybe someone splashing in a pool, if you’re in summer, or just the calm lake, if it’s a bit chilly still in your part of the world.
Chose this: Rain water falling from roof onto front walkway of my home. Handheld photo taken from knee level through the storm door window.
It was a photo of laziness or opportunity – choose your mindset.
Thanks for looking.
