Week 151 Photo Challenge: Water Splashes

It's been over 2 months since my last photo challenge post.  The new deck of photo prompts we are using are a lot more challenging then the previous two decks.  On the one hand, it's fun to have the challenge. On the other, some of them require specific conditions and very special set ups to capture.  That just takes more time and effort. Even My Guy struggled to get good shots for the last challenge card. 

I really tried the experimental approach and just didn't get anything photo worthy at all.  So as we often do in these challenges, I went with a different interpretation.  

Kate: Splash Initiator

Capturing the splash was very elusive, but after our big snow storm back in January, I did capture a drop just starting to separate from one of the ice cycles on the tree outside the office window. A splash starts with a water drop, so I just photographed a different part of the sequence.   

My Guy's photo is from about the same time period.  

My Guy: Snow Melt Splashes

This was taken in one of the local creeks just after the snow fall back in January.  Definitely a nice splash, but not one created from an experiment.

I kept hoping to get a better shot. I did try to capture some splashes during our last big rain storm, but those didn't really work out either. Grad Girl just didn't have the time to play with splashes. Since she's not working in a lab these days, but is still working a full time job with a commute in Houston traffic, subjects and time for photography have been a bit narrow for her.  So she really struggled with the last two challenges.  When I sent her the next challenge card, she was happy to see something she could do.  

  

With the spring flowers just starting to bloom, we should all be able to get photos sooner, rather than later.
