Post-photo Assessment

So give me a camera and a nice museum and I can usually find something interesting to shoot. The macro shot of water was taken with my Canon 200mm USM lens at around 1/500 shutter with 5.6f. The angle was a bit awkward but I was at the very edge of a fountain. I've always enjoyed capturing fluid motion like that. Things like water spouts, lava, even glass being made all make for amazing subjects. Perhaps its the sense of motion really stopping that way.

The floral shots were simple enough, same lens Canon 200mm USM in an outdoor garden at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. Unfortunately museum policy is to not allow photography in the galleries (which is understandable) but the outer areas are fare game.

The last shot is actually the water path leading to the fountain. I was hoping to get a little more parallel angle on it, but given the position I found it hard to maintain my camera grip and focus.

If you're ever bored or need a subject remember, it isn't always the flashy stuff that can create interesting images. Go out there and take risks, shoot stuff you normally wouldn't.
