Water, water everywhere: a gallery of amazing photos
Over 70 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered in water, so it’s not surprising that it’s often the subject of our photographs. From rivers, lakes, ponds and oceans to waterfalls, swimming pools, rain and dew drops, water can look brilliant when photographed.
Fast shutter speed
A fast shutter speed will “freeze” the water’s motion, resulting in a sharp, clear image. If you try this technique, you may also need to increase your camera’s ISO settings to allow more light to reach the camera’s image sensor. If you’re not comfortable playing around with the exposure settings, you can also set your camera’s scene mode to the Action or Sports mode which will increase the shutter speed. Using an external flash can also help freeze the action.

Hi fortunat, I love your photos. Are you a pro. photographer? I certainly am not:) Both pics are beautiful, but I really fancy the bird in the bird bath. I’d love to see the picture enlarged…would be awesome. The color of the bird bath water is amazing. And the cute little birdie, so enjoying himself on a hot summer’s day. It almost looks as though he’s on his back, turning, as to get his/her entire body wet. Lastly, to get the pic with his eye open just a wee bit; couldn’t have turned out any better. Thanx for sharing.
