Water Tips
Text by John Bentham
Water is extremely beautiful. It moves and morphs, it reflects, it shimmers and is one of the most mysterious elements in the world. in photography, water also appears in a multitude of colors. Water holds a profound and everlasting meaning to members of every culture. Throughout history, global exploration and expansion, survival and livelihood, regional and international cuisine, wars, conflict and national security have all been influenced and determined by the proximity to a body of water. Water is a great photographic subject, and an international subject and concern. Capture the surreal in a close up shot of the inhabitants of a fish tank, the exotic of a man at work with his beast of burden, a romantic moment accented by the silhouette of a mysterious woman. Any photograph takes on deeper meaning when it includes a body of water. In the endeavor of photography, water is your friend, embrace it.

Create Whimsy with your Shutter Speed
The relatively slow shutter speed here (1/60th) blurs the swimmer jumping into the water adding action to the photo. By selectivly cropping objects in the photo a visual frame is created, the dock, horizon and figure on the left all create a visual border, keeping your eye in the photo and leading you back to the center of frame....
Creating Scale
Rivers, streams, and lakes are great subjects. Unlike ocean views with big waves and crashing surf, smaller bodies of water offer more intricate, delicate and layered elements to create a photograph...
