Water and Color

web water color

I find myself looking more for color in water these days. Whether its autumn foliage reflected in a local lake (see above) or a city scene captured thru a rain covered car window (see below) the reflective properties of water can really spice up an image.

Raindrops

When photographing trees reflected in a lake I tend to use the longest lens possible employing a wider depth of field so I can maintain sharpness throughout the Layers of color in the scene. The city shot was photographed with my iPhone while stopped at a light in Washington D.C, so that was taken using a fairly wide angle lens the the water drops on my window.

Want to see some more fall color? Please check out Happy Monday.

  1. Hello Rob, a wonderful set of photos. The first and third look like fluid expressionist/impressionist paintings… Am particularly drawn to ‘Reflections’; it exactly describes ‘watery fire’ that somehow embodies my Piscean with the Chinese astrology fire element reading, an unlikely combination, or so I thought until I saw this!
    Am very flattered that you like my blog too – many thanks.
