These are some fountains in parks in Fargo, ND. I really like how different shutter speeds demonstrate how the speed affects the image of the water, freezes the action.
This first photo was shot at 1/15.
And the same photo now at 1/1600.
This photo was shot at 1/13th of a second.
And this one at 1/1600th of a second.
I've signed up for the Type + Writer class at jessicasprague.com. It's a 2 week class, starts next week, and am very excited about this! It's going to be both about typography (which I'm truly only minimally interested in; I read it as "interesting fonts"), and about writing/journaling.
It's the writing part that really appeals to me--the magic of words and the stories lurking in all of us! It's what I love about photography. . . the stories that are behind the images. These fountains are an example. . . to me, they're "pretty", and interesting visually and in terms of the shutter speed, but there's really no Story. (Although if I didn't have others with me, like children romping around, and there's only so much I can torture my poor husband. But maybe I really should have again used the tripod, had my remote with me, got my feet wet, and . . . . photographed explaining it to the police??????)

I love your captures!
Funny, recently I read where a photographer was disgusted at the preference of the silky look of the blur and said that this was achieved years ago with slow cameras. ;)
Really neat examples here. I like the look of these fountains.
Really great examples of this! Okay you have motivated me to be on theme tommorow.
GREAT examples of shutter speed!
Super shots of the fountains. I love images of water!
Thanks for sharing.
Oops... forgot to say...see you in class! I signed up for that class, too! Ü
Thank you so so much for sharing your settings. I have get to get water perfect. I really hate lugging my tripod around!
i love the water fountain, it looks like so much fun
The second shot is awesome!
The second one is my favorite--I really love the sparkle of the water drops against the rough texture of the wood. I had big plans to go photograph a waterfall this week, but I'm doped up on Vicodin again so no driving for me.
