A word of caution, as you venture out there with your camera, trying to mix it up with water. The electronics of your camera will not fair well if they actually encounter water, so be careful. You can get disposable cameras for water photography, and if you do a lot of snorkeling or scuba you may be interested in getting an underwater housing for your camera.
Here are some water photo ideas:
1 – Someone surfing
2 – A tall glass of lemonade sweating
3 – Kids slashing in a wadding pool
4 – Dewdrops on flowers
5 – Toddler at the beach wading at the water’s edge
6 – Waves crashing on a rocky shoreline
7 – Tidal pools with reflections of the sky in them
8 – A tranquil lake at dawn or dusk
9 – Rain and Lightening during rainstorm
10 – Someone using a kayak or canoe
11 – A dog retrieving a stick in the water
12 – Ducks enjoying a good float
13 – Someone fishing from a pier, boat or water’s edge
14 – A babbling creek with water running over rocks
15 – A giant waterfalls
16 – Kids playing with a hose or hydrant
17 – Crowds at a water-park
18 – Sunset at the beach
19 – Puddles after a summer shower
20 – Boats bobbing in a harbor
These are just a few suggestions that come to mind. I’m sure you will think of many others.
So, lets have a contest! Post your best “water” photos here. I’ll get a photographer friend to judge the entries. We will make the closing date of the contest at 12:00 noon EST on Monday, July 7th. Eons will supply some Eons “swag” as prizes. We’ll have a first, second, and third prize, as well as honorable mentions. So get out there with that camera and capture that water! Keep the file size relatively small. Post your photos ONLY in the message titled "Water Photos". Post your photo as a "reply" in that message. It will make
judging easier when all entries are in one place. Good luck to all!
