Top 10 WeeklyFstop Photos: Water

This week's theme on the WeeklyFstop was something we all need but rarely appreciate as much as we should. Our readers got their feet wet with an awesome top ten list all featuring photos of water.

Water can be a very fun thing to photograph and experiment with. The fluid nature of its liquid state leads to something different in every frame when working with splashes and waves. Underwater shots have much different light properties and weightlessness evident in flowing hair. Shooting moving water with long exposure creates a silky smooth effect that almost seems like something from a dream.

Check out these great examples and feel free to share one of your favorite water photos in the comments.

I love the tone of this shot as well as the subtle touches of light. The processing gives and glow from the rod give a real aura of mystery. The result is both visually interesting and otherworldly. Great shot!

What Is This Week's Theme and How Do I Enter?

I coach my youngest son's soccer team. It has been a blast, but it is also about to come to an end. Our last game is Monday, followed by the league's picnic party. That gave me the idea that it would be cool to see what people can come up with for "party" as a theme. So, at a great risk of dating myself a bit here: "Party on, Wayne. Party on, Garth."

Party
