Thank you for the opportunity to start off today’s topic: Water, stop it!
This has been a dilemma for me as I thought about which way to take this challenge, as well as tomorrow’s challenge (Water, move it!). The more I contemplated these two challenges, the more I kept asking the question “What does stop it really mean?”
I got slow water. That’s stopping it, but what about water in motion when you stop it by capturing it with a photograph? When the water drop splashes up and we photograph it, haven’t we stopped it at a moment in time. And then the real question is whether or not the rain drop falls at all if no one is there to see it fall (my Son and I often argue about the noise of a tree falling in the woods if no one is there to hear it). So, I am going with the former for the ‘stop it’ challenge. ANY capture of water is stopping it. How quickly or slowly we stop it is the topic of today’s challenge. Please feel free to challenge this assertion as you post your pictures!
The water wizards say over cast and indirect light are best for water shots, but sometimes reflections and bright lights are good, too. I look forward to your pictures and interpretations.
