Water is a special material regarding photographing.
Both long and short time exposures shows it in an unusual form.

This picture belongs to both  the night and the water theme. It was taken in the Rosen Garten, Mannheim, Germany in around August,1998.
It is a 2 minutes shot of a continuously changing waterworks.

These are bright summer day pictures of a waterworks in Paradeplatz, Mannheim, Germany.
At bright daylight there is enough light to take 1/1000 sec pictures. In so short time the water looks like as it were frozen. Ice needles and flying glass balls are appearing in the picture.

This is in less light, where the diaphragm was set to be bigger, loosing dept-in-field.

It's an other example of sacrificing the depth-in-field when there is no light enough.
This is a ca. 1.5 cm water certain.
 

One quick jump back to Gödöllõ in Hungary. I have taken this when I was waiting for Edina(1).
The wavig water with a long time exlosure brings out an interesting surface.
The colors are interesting as well.
  I have taken these with the  EOS 500N (Rebel G). 1/2000 sec and 5.6 apperture. Approx 200mm fokus.
On the left I have emphasized the reflexing sun on the surface of the water, on the right I faded it.
I did it with setting the polar filter till the maximum shine, and rotated 90 degrees away.
 

These shots I comitted at the Rosengarden in Mannheim. Above 1/250 sec a:5.6, under : 2 sec a:32

.
Neighter water nor vehicle is moving.
