P52 - Week 7

I'm a little late in posting this, but the photo did come from the correct week.

As I have mentioned, part of what I am hoping to get out of this challenge is to broaden my skill set with my camera. I want to get better both stylistically and technically. To do that, I have to step outside of my box a bit and try new things.

So, what to shoot?

This week, I (literally) decided to test the waters, so to speak. OK ... the puns are getting thick and I should just spit it out. *shakes head* I know, I can't seem to help myself.

ANYWAY ... water was the theme. More specifically, water from my kitchen tap. Trying to freeze the motion and ... see what I could see.

Here is my favorite from the set:



It's not exactly what I was going for, especially with the flash and shadows, but in the end, I still like it.

I tried a couple of different set ups and a couple of different settings. And of all the things I tried, I liked this best.

I'm going to keep trying new things. I know some will work and some will require more work from me. But that is the point of these exercises. And I'm feelin' pretty good about it right now.
