My First Travel Photos–Fountains

by in Going Nomadic, RANDOM CRAP

Oh yes, it is time for the 2nd installment of My First Travel Photos.
Because just one is never enough…

This week’s My First travel Photos takes a look at

FOUNTAINS

I have no idea why I have so many photos of fountains.  Maybe there is just an exorbitant amount of them in the Balkans.  Maybe I heard somewhere that fountains make great photos.  Maybe I was wrong….

I call this:  “How Far Away Can I Get From The Fountain And Still Cut Off The Top Of The Building?”

Well, at least I got in closer.   Too bad the top of the building must have been way to boring to photo.  And the horizon is slightly annoyingly skewed.  And I decided to just stand in front of the fountain, than say, get on the ground and angle upwards (maybe even catching THE TOP of the f*%&ing building).

And for the creme–of-the-crop: SUPER CLOSE UP OF THE SAME FOUNTAIN!  I had an idea.  Too bad is wasn’t: Get the exposure on the water correct, make sure the background isn’t stupid, get a cool angle that didn’t cut off the bottom of the water, or stop cutting off the tops of buildings.

Here’s a close up of lions spitting.  Cause when lions spit, focusing and framing don’t matter.  I mean, unless you WANT a good photo, which obviously, I did not.

This could have been cool if I didn’t blow out of the sky and water so you can’t actually see anything.

Tree – The ‘torso’ of the fountain world.

Framing – how NOT to do it.

Can you guess what is NOT good about this photo?
If you said ‘Everything’, you are correct!

 

I had more photos of fountains too, mostly of the same ones at different, or virtually the same, angles.  But I spare you those.

Why?

BECAUSE NEXT WEEK YOU GET BUILDINGS!

YEA BUILDINGS!

CHEERS!
