For this weeks challenge I have chosen water. I have been sitting here and all I can hear is the rain.

I am always fascinated by the many forms of water, my favourite being the ocean.

I love the reflections, silky water from long shutter speeds, the way you can capture a water drop with fast shutter speeds, or the macro of a dew drop.

Have fun

Brilliant topic, my favourite (am OBSESSED with surf/wave photography!). Great win too Silverwattle

[winkwink]

Congratulations silverwattle & I love the theme, we certainly have had enough water fall over the past 4 days.

I'm hoping to get a proper water shot tomorrow, but in the meantime, this is what happens when you don't watch out for sneaky photobombers!


WATERBOMBED!

Fun shot Teri

And congratulations silverwattle on your win with that beautiful shell. My week has been crazy - hopefully will get a shot tomorrow. Haven't picked up my camera all week.

The water in your waterbomb shot Peanut looks so damn refreshing.


Awesome mummy26, so vibrant! It makes me want to eat a packet of skittles.

Clever idea Jjbeanz!

This is all I've got for now... Dh is away this week and with the craziness of school starting I've barely had time to pick my camera up.

Thanks ladies! I'll stick with this one.


Both are of the Bribie Island bridge, just different perspectives. Taken while the kids chased crabs on the sand and I stressed about them either running to the water or me leaving my camera and it getting stolen , was a stressful outing!

Finally... thought I was never going to get there this week. One thing on top of another at the moment.
