Shoot water
This month we’ve got a creative challenge ready for you to dive into…
In the UK we’re all far too familiar with water: we live on an island and it rains a lot. And although we all like to have a moan about the weather, it can also bring opportunities for creative photography projects. From water reflections in puddles to long shutter speeds capturing a smooth seascape shot, the possibilities for working with and photographing water are endless. Water doesn’t have to be the focus of the picture: why not grab a friend and shoot some wet-looking portraits or shoot through a pane of glass covered in water droplets? If you don’t have the time to find a river or stream, wait for it to rain and use a macro lens to capture raindrops on a window at home. A sunny day by a calm lake will give you an almost mirror-like image of your surrounding landscape, but don’t forget to try and shoot a view where there’s foreground detail to prevent the scene looking boring. If you have the gear, maybe an underwater shot might be more up your street.
