From 52 Frames Challenge that I try to do weekly: photograph water as a liquid, live and in person, not a photo of someone else’s photo.
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.
I try and do very little post processing. I change the size and a little contrast usually. For this photo added a watercolor style filter. Here is how this photo is set up.
Here are some extra that I considered. By the way, it took about 700+ photos to decide on the one I used.
