Water

"Fresh from the Sahara Desert" - Aaron

This water is from the Great Man-made River project in Libya, which is pumping out millenia-old water from beneath the Sahara Desert.

"Crystal Geyser" - Matt

Bit late; stuck in NH and couldn't get back to the office until today. I thought this assignment was kinda fun.

f/5.3, 1/250sec, 42mm

"Purified" - Mike

Overhead light & side light through white umbrella. I had some difficulty eliminating unwanted reflections from the adjacent lights.
55 mm, 1/30 sec., f/5.6, ISO 400

"Thirsty?" - Cary

I had quite a bit of fun with this challenge and I admit getting lots of ideas from examples on the web. Among many other things, I learned that you can do amazing things with a remote flash and a tin foil snoot.

View out our front window. This was just the beginning of the storm last weekend. Got another 12" to 18" more by the next afternoon, then we got hit by the second storm on Tuesday-Wednesday (another 24"). - Matt
