Day 389

ISO 500, 32mm, f/4.0, 1/640 sec

Day 389 - Puddle jumping

The college is preparing for spring term.

Yup, some days my job is a playground for me. I turned my co-workers loose on setting the stage. They found the models, found the boots, we scouted a location that would hold a puddle and recruited a couple of the fire fighter students to provide the water.

The quest to pull this off began at 9 am this morning and I shot this at 3:37 pm this afternoon.

  1. Great shot... a full day production, but the results are pretty awesome. Kinda explains why my photos look so lame :-(

  3. Awesome capture. Surprised that the speed is relatively low for the capture of the water. I guess shooting at a higher ISO

  5. Ok.. I was with you until I got to "fire fighter students to provide the water" - isn't this the place with the "swamp greyhounds"? With more photo's of rain droplets than we get actual rain droplets???

    Once again, great shot. I love the contrast between the splash itself and the calm waters at the bottom of the picture.

  6. Great shot! I agree with thevino, reflection and action all in a single image is a nice combination!

  8. Wow - love this - so much fun - though I was looking for your dogs to be racing through the water too - or at least lapping it up... Fun stuff - and fabulous boots! thanks for sharing a great shot.
