Playing in the fountain under the stars

[pjflan7]

I took my two youngest daughters downtown to another fountain for some wet and wild night play.

Here is the fountain seen on our arrival at the District Courthouse



Mandy fighting the strong water jets.



Water jet looks like fiery sparks from a foundry!



Mandy and Lisa quite satisfied at 10:30 pm and ready to go home.

What a great way to spend an evening. Great photo set too Patrick.

Who needs to spend all that money on waterparks! You would never get shots this good at one anyway with crowds of people around. Looks like good family fun.

Patrick, you hinted at it during commenatry, I get the feeling looking at these, that we could be looking at a firework display.
The second picture is the one for mem though. This works so well and I think its awesone. I've been looking at large size, great job

Hi Patrick, these are fantastic! What shutter speed did you use on these?
The second one with your daughter? in the fountain is simply Great!
Thanks for sharing these.

Glad you like it...I was hesitant to include it due to its blurry nature but it helps make the photo work to a certain degree

Wow Patrick, these just look like a firework display. and what lovely captures. I love the last one where they are looking back at you. Great job buddy.

Beach, We went back today in the warm afternoon sun but the photographic quality is so much better at night for capturing the water but candids of the kids much better by day due to shutter speed and visibility. But if you are just working with water....night is the time to do it. I surprised myself as to how shot #3 turned out.

the last one is pretty cool. i love the colours in the fountain contrasting with the girls' towels. nice work. the motion one looks great too.
