Photographic fun with a fountain…

Because of the software company SAP and German tax law, Walldorf is one of the richest cities in Germany, even though there are only 14,000 of us who live here. That means that it can afford extravagances like abstract granite fountains on its main street. IMG_0977 (1024x682)The light was good today so while we waited for our lunch, I decided to play with the water, photographically speaking of course.IMG_1065 (1024x683)IMG_0979 (1024x683)After owning one for 5 years, I’m still sometimes amazed at the images one can capture with a relatively inexpensive DSLR.IMG_0982 (683x1024)The detail is incredible (this image was cropped from the one above).Copy of IMG_0982 (682x1024)I particularly liked these shots.IMG_1073 (1024x683)IMG_1076 (683x1024)I found it interesting how running water resembles ice when frozen by nothing more than a camera with high shutter speed.IMG_0988 (1024x683)
