Water..

Hey everyone!
Well Christmas is over for another year and now we can look forward to the turn of a new decade! I haven't taken any exciting new photos lately but have been playing around a lot with Photoshop over Christmas and slowly picking things up. I'm certainly loving the iMac and don't think I will be going back to a PC anytime soon.

I have been looking through various photos of water that I have and have decided I need to take more. I love the free flowing soft shapes you get from it but its not always the easiest thing to capture. I may have a try tomorrow and just take some photos of running water from the tap and see what happens. The only difficulty are the lightening shutter speeds I want to us and finding enough light. I can get the flash gun out and just hope for the best!

The photo I am posting today is Trevi fountain in Rome. This really is quite an amazing fountain. You can hear the water from quite some distance away but following the sounds to find it is easier said than done. Eventually the narrow streets get you there and quite a sight awaits! I took this photo quite late in the evening. I didn't have a flash unit with me or a tripod so it was hard to get the best results. I think I had the shutter speed right down at 1/20th Second and I don't have the most steady hand in the world. The photo is a bit blurry but doesn't look too bad! Enjoy!!
