We all like spring water

The first thing I photographed when my replacement gear came in the mail was the water jug on the water cooler in my house.

And I had to play with my new strobe :)

here are the demo shots

So my family likes to buy gallons and gallons of spring water for a quarter a jug. I decided to tak some pictures of a recent excursion in the rain to go get some water. Here are the shots I found somewhat interesting:


My Mom watching my dad from the car. He is starting the filling process. I liked the window in a window in a window layering and the complimenting colors of the building and the light inside.

Dad pouring water from one jug into another because of a faulty sink. I like the motion and the fact you can see water running out of the one jug into the other. This shot was an anticipation moment because I knew it was going to happen, but it wouldn't be happening for long. I got 2 frames off, this one and another one that didn't work at all.

This last one I felt like making more artsy in lightroom for the heck of it. I liked the raw quality of the image and thought it felt more like a black and white image than color. I didn't really like the light temp in the room when I was shooting. It was a very nasty color. There's just something about the image that I like. It must be the simplicity of it.




overall this was just a practice for me and a reminder to start documenting things that happen in everyday life.

Mom always asks me why my camera goes with me everywhere, I need to keep myself sharp and shooting.
