Phos Graphis: a ball balancing on water jet....

My sister and I took our kids to C.O.S.I. yesterday and they had an OCEAN area where the kids could do all sorts of water-related activities. One was balancing these balls on jet streams of water. Of course I had to try and capture a few shots.....I LOVE water shots like this where the water is captured in action by the camera and it ends up looking like crystals!

WHY the name PHOTOGRAPHY FOR DUMMIES?

Because I don't know much about the digital cameras I have used over the years....and yet I am able to take photographs. I have never made it through my entire instruction manual for any of my cameras. I started out with a little cheap 1MP camera.....and progressed from there. I still only have a 5MP Lumix.

Can I explain much about the settings I use or how I captured the shots I have? No, not really. Does that negate the value of the photo? No, not really. They are what they are and can more than stand alone based on their own value.

I want this blog to inspire and encourage even those who think they are clueless or a "dummy" when it comes to taking pictures to just get out there and DO IT! After all if I can get these shots....I am pretty sure you could too!
