Default A strange affinity....

I have just rummaged through shots deleting etc to save Hard drive space and decided I have a strange afinity to water, most decent ones contain water of some sort..... anyone else have this with pics? As in you find yourself shooting something more and more , I try to go away from water yet get drawn to it Lake, Stream Sea does not matter and it seems to bring out the best in my Togging too.

Anyway here are some from the rummaging and run through PP

I agree with you, I also like the water, but I think with me its because I have webbed feet and gills.
Nice set mark, the first reminds I should fish more, the final one would also work well as a b/w but the middle one is my Arc de Triomphe, I lile everything about it, the light, the tones, the colours, composition and atmosphere, excellent picture

I've always been drawn to water...with or without a camera in my hand, it's just something special. No3 is excellent mate by the way...

I tend to be drawn to the water also. I think your 2nd (great exposure) and 3rd (good composition) shots are beautiful captures.

I'm glad you have an affinity to water Mark. I love water myself and these are excellent images. I like the first because of the fishing subject and the other two for their intrinsic beauty. Great set!

I too, am drawn to water shots. I have such a love for the ones that look like #2 (which is excellent) OK, they are all excellent, but I have a thing for the velvet water slow exposures one the most.

ahh..i've been raving about your silky water and again the second one is stunning..but i got to say that there is something in the last shot that keeps me looking again and again..it looks like there is an invisible force behind that photo..that one is on my fave list here in DPS..tnx Mark..

Note: my astrological sign is water so my affinity to it is not really strange..
