First attempt...

Mrselfdestruct · 22nd of April 2007 (Sun)

I was travelling most the day, and when I got home it was evening. All day I had a craving to go shoot some pictures and when I had the time, it was too dark to do what I wanted!! So I worked with what I had and thought about a fountain I knew about, and when I shot a picture, I noticed the soft blur from the longer shutter. So it gave me the idea to shoot a night picture with car lights and the fountain, I think it came out alright, what do you guys think?

f/22
10 sec shutter
ISO 100
76mm
Partial metering

is it that bad?

I like it. I really want to try and get a shot of water like that. I don't have any fountains or waterfalls around me to try it on though.

Why thank you guys! You can do this instead, whitetrash. Take a garden hose and prop it up and have it shoot into the air and do shots of that, it'll have some interesting effects im sure. Or take a picture of a kitchen sink running water with a low aperture to blur out the rest of the sink (cause most sinks have corrosion and stuff).

Not too big on the composition. Correctly exposed though.
