You won't believe me if I had to tell you that this attempt took me like 200 frames to capture the right one...which is this one. My clothes were soaking wet, the floor was no better. But after seeing that this one is almost perfect, I immediately forgot about the mess.

That's incredible! Although I absolutely believe it would take 200 or so shots to get one that wonderful.

That really leaves quite a crater! I know what you mean when you said it took so many tries. I did a few [link] [link] and [link] .
Got totally wet but it paid off.

great shot!
very surreal and absolutely in focus.
you can't really tell where the watersurface starts,
except for that topright splash, that's wonderful.

Thank you so much for your kind comment. I wish I could see from somebody else's eyes as I believe it looks different, because for example, I know where the watersurface starts.

and you're right, sometimes that's both helpful and interesting to see something with different eyes.

Yes, as a matter of fact, I *do* believe you! But the result was definitely worth it - great shot!

I'm sitting on the couch looking at this but inside I'm squeaking and jumping up and down. This is just PERFECT! The exact moment, everything in the right place, the way the water looks solid. AGH! It's gorgeous!

At the exact moment I was about to give up taking frames I produced this one. You should have seen me and Jack, all soaked up and the kitchen floor was like rain was pouring inside lol
Tanya, you just have no idea how much your comments encourage me to keep going and trying. I wish I could do something more than just saying thank you, to show my appreciation towards you.

Taking pictures like this makes me happy - there's no need to do more. As artists, we give our art to people
I haven't forgotten about your reference. I've been thinking about it for days, rolling words around in my head, trying to sum up my feelings about your work. If it was for someone like a job application or a CV, I could write a reference in minutes but when it's something more personal and something that's going to be seen by lots of people (as your website no doubt will) I want to write something perfect.
