Photo Hunt - Fast
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is Fast. I don't have any decent car or plane photos so here is a photo of water moving fast from a fountain in Trafalgar Square
Nice pic, Jams. I, too, thought of putting up pics of fast moving water -- glad I didn't though as yours is much more picturesque than anything I've got. :)
This is a very cool photo and interesting post for this week's theme. I love all the spray and how the photo pulls you in to see the fountain. I would never of guessed where it was. Have a great weekend.
Clever. I have a fast car.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great shot. Almost looks like an etching.
ReplyDeleteWow, what an amazing photo. Really looks like a work of art (and the water does look very fast). Loved seeing this one!

Gorgeous! The light is especially dramatic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture ! I prefer by far this fountain then a (stupid) car ! lol !
ReplyDeleteA fast moving fountain? I have to use that phrase in my writing some time. Too good to forget.
ReplyDeleteI love the spray and sense of movement you captured. Excellent photography.
Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. I can vouch that traffic around Trafalgar is anything but fast!
ReplyDeleteThat looks perfect for running around in during the summer months!

ReplyDeletefantastic. would love to ride any fast vehicle to get out of this foot-high snow we're current stuck in in the United States =0
ReplyDeletehave a great, warm weekend! and holidays, too!
Excellent! Trafalgar Square, the time I spent in London, was swarming with people enjoying the sun. I loved it there.
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo and great take on the theme this week. Love how you captured the spray.
ReplyDeleteWhat effect did you use? Love it!
ReplyDeleteTHanks everyone. Mirage, I took the shot at a very fast shutter speed against the sun
ReplyDeleteThat certainly works for me too.
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing photo, Jams. Very painterly. And fast!
ReplyDeleteThe fountain is a very strange shape, and difficult to discern, which is part of what makes the image so interesting, I think.
Susan, Stan Thanks!
