Day 30 - Reflections


Wow, what an apt title for the last day of the 30 Day Challenge! What a month!! I probably won't do a photo tomorrow, but I did do the 30! Doesn't sound like much of a deal, but what a challenge it turned out to be! I think I'll leave Balboa Island alone for awhile.....or if I do take a walk there, I'll leave my camera at home!

This has been a wonderful experience and I look with admiration to those who undertook the challenge and worked so hard to complete the thirty days! It was much more difficult than I ever anticipated.

A sincere thank you to all of you who have taken the time to look at my photos and to leave comments. It has meant a lot and I appreciate it very much.

Day 16 - Wall of Water


I took my camera with me when I went to pick up my take-out Chinese food. It wasn't quite ready so I sat outside the restaurant and took some pictures in the courtyard. I tried a variety of shutter speeds to catch the water as either flowing or stop-action. This was sort of in the middle since there was a break in the flow and I actually got some flow and some stop action.

It was almost dark, and I had to use my flash, thus the shadows on the fountain. Post processing consisted of some sharpening, and increases in saturation.
