Assignment 5 - Water

[NATO]

Yep, the D-Lux 2 is an amazing camera!

Like this image. The only thing I would prefer to see in it, is the man getting to release the fly, as opposed to after.

Thanks for the feedback Chip 🙂 Yeah, that would look really well, although I think by having it the way it is at the moment, it conveys a sense of tranquility and peacefulness. However, having him release the fly would give the shot a bit of motion in what is otherwise a very still shot.

It's been raining here the last few days. When it stopped for a bit, I went out back to check on the Asian poppies, and saw the drops on them.

Annk - great pictures. The second one is amazing - you can really see the hairs pushing the surface tension of the water drop.

Great Macro shots, the detail is great.

Thanks. 🙂

I especially like D Lux 2's water-on-leaves, snap58's droplets, Forcedperfect's duck-on-water and...this list is gonna be long, I'm afraid - I've got the thread open in another tab and I just keep wanting to add on here. 😛 I really like LOTS of these shots.

I like gauchogolfer's take on the theme.

A couple taken with my new lens. Not pictured is me trying desperately to stay on my feet in the face of fiercely blowing wind. I came back from the beach feeling sand-blasted.

i like the second one. have you used a filter to make it look like sepia or did the colors really turn out like that?

And now for something completely different.

I figured that I'd do something rather different for this assignment. Et Voila:


Yes, I took that from underwater: Blairgowrie Pier, in Port Philip Bay, Victoria, Australia (not really in Melbourne; it's about 90 minutes from where I live, give or take a bit.) Be gentle; I'm still figuring out the whole underwater photography thing. 😱 There's a few other underwater shots I've taken and posted on Flickr (take 150 shots, cull them down to 39, and even then, there's only a few that I'm really happy with ...)

I need a decent strobe, I think. 😀 (not for that shot, though; a strobe wouldn't have improved it, and may actually have diminished the shot quality.)

Took this out about a week ago right before a thunder stom. Critiquing greatly appreciated, I'm a beginner but very interested in photography...

No filters, just as it was.

Almost forgot about this "assignment!"

Had to wait for Smugmug to come back up before I could hotlink my submission:

I was looking out for water while on holiday. I missed out on a shot showing out clear/turquoise the sea was though... just couldn't get it into a decent shot at all since was trying not to get my camera wet.

So... here's my 'Goldsworthy' moment on the beach, a tap on a Roman fountain and just to have a 'reflection' that wasn't on the Tiber, the flower market at Campo di Fiori after the cobbles had been soaked while watering the flowers from the fountain (which I've cropped down... I might post a wider crop though since I'm not sure it gets the scene truly over as is)

Cool fountain.

Unfortunately, I never got a chance to contrib to this 'assignment'. 🙁
