This is outside the fire station in Montreal West

The hydrants were unique and different colors on each block. It was almost impossible to shoot them all.

The fire hydrants in our town are all getting fresh paint. They used to be dull red, now they are this cheerful yellow and blue.

Our Daily Challenge: DRESS IT UP (I'm not sure if this is what was meant by the challenge, but I think this is dressing up an object that is generally far less attractive.)

All I wanted was a beverage

a few weeks ago I suddenly noticed how many different kinds of fire hydrants were near my house. they are all so different. and so an obsession with photographing hydrants began.

i have a bunch of pictures already, but they are all waiting to be edited. this isn't the first one i took, but it is the one that will start this very strange (for me!) project.

Logan, Iowa

Recycled fire hydrant photographed at the entrance to the fire station in Georgenborn, Germany.

White fire hydrant, outside in near noon sun. a lot of the detail on this thing was just blown out. Hindsight makes me think if I had bothered I could've used off camera lighting to light the trees in the background and bring the exposure of the hydrant down a stop or so.

He was fast, but I caught him (only with my camera)

March photo challenge..day 19..'fire hydrant'

At first I thought I hated some of this challenge cause it was just not possible to make a few of these look at all interesting..then I realized it was my own lack of creativity that I'm hating. I need to start putting some more thought into these things (if I can!). This is an old style fire hydrant system so I thought a little rework and black and white were in order. Wish me luck for the rest of this month! ha!
