Water Drops
My inspiration for this series was a set of photos I discovered on Tim’s Digital Darkroom. Tim’s done a few of these series and I know he uses something a little better than a point and shoot digital. The thing is that I wanted to see what I could achieve with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX50 and so I set up all the equipment I needed in the kitchen sink and these are the results.

This next one almost looks like a penis emerging from a pool of water and perhaps that is a drop of sperm flying through the air.

This next one is unbelievable and definitely my favourite. The water that this apparition emerged from was the most turbulent out of all the photos that I took during this series of photos. Can you see the face in the resulting splash?

No, well perhaps a closeup of the shot is needed.

I showed the photo to my daughter and the first thing she said was that it reminded her of the Virgin Mary. Personally I think that it the features are definitely male and that the person is wearing a veil or something over his or her head. I can just imagine the furor if some religious nut came up with this photo.
So, I would be really interested in knowing what you saw in the photo?

I’ve noticed that the background can make all the difference to a good photo. Sometimes if the photo is too busy, you blur the background to make the subject stand out more. Other times you may want everything crystal clear as it’s all important to the photo. Just as a little experiment I took three photos of daffodils with different backgrounds just to see how each one would turn out.

I tried to take a photo of this naked lady inside but the light wasn’t quite right. The flash was useless because although there was no red eye it just made the image of her lovely naked body too harsh. In the end I managed to coax her outside, she was a little worried that the neighbors wouldn’t approved. I told her to stuff the neighbors and she just laughed and followed me outside. The result.

I did a post on St Dimitrios Greek Orthodox Church and I had included a photo of one of the windows. This is a photo of another window that I thought looked pretty cool.

I think the reflections of the clouds actually adds to the religious intensity of the photo. It just goes to show you that the possibilities for photos are everywhere, you just need to open your mind to them. As for the subject, well I’m not sure but I reckon it is either Jesus or St. Dimitrios.

Now don’t get too excited as I am not talking about that London Bridge! The one I am referring to used to exist along The Great Ocean Road one that was built by 3000 diggers. It is is a great scenic drive and I traveled its full 273km length on my way to Melbourne. So far I have found that this picturesque stretch of the South Eastern coast of Australia was really quite stunning. This is a picture of that famous bridge before its collapse and is one of the important reason we should all take photos, to record historical landmarks as well as moments of history etc.
