Timothy - Fountain on Market


Being in a new city always makes me look more closely at my surroundings. St Louis, MO offered a multitude of opportunities to work with bracketing. To choose one pic out of 350+ was not easy.

This large fountain was photographed on a clear sunny early morning . I shot into the sun for silhouettes & mist, across for shadow & light, & this one with the sun directly behind me. The challenge was to get the right balance of water movement, depth, & contrast. Though this was green-on-green, the difference of the reflective bronze statues against the softer focused trees keeps this from being just a mono tone blob. 

If I was to do this shot again I would try shortening the depth-of-field to soften the back ground more to allow higher contrast.
