Photo Fun in the Sprinkler
Hi---We're still sweatin' down here in Florida....but we did have a little, bitty, bit of rain recently.
If we want plants to survive the hot summer, we have to water---but only on the allotted TWO days
a week (which varies depending on your address) and not between 10am and 4pm. They're always
telling us to protect the aquifer, YET they don't hesitate to sell 2 million gallons to a rich customer...
definitely a pet peeve of mine.
Almost a rainbow...
So it was early evening, but before sunset. I had the sprinkler on the in backyard which looks out
on the marsh, so you have somewhat filter light because of the trees & moss. I noticed the nice back light
streaming through the water and went out to capture it.
I had fun, so here are some photo tips in case you want to try it.
1. Be very aware of the sprinkler pattern---where the water lands so you can keep the camera dry.
2. Try holding the camera at different angles.
3. Move around and see how the light plays on the water----streams, drops, streaks.
4. Take lots of images using different exposures & shutter speeds.
This one is my favorite. I like the lines created by the water.
PHOTIP: Try this for yourself & have fun dodging the "rain drops". Your shutter speed will have the
most effect creating streaks.
BLESSINGS!

PS. Don't forget about the phone photo exhibit!
