Weather conditions have not been good again this weekend for sunsets on the South Coast of the UK so I have gone back in archives and found this one that was taken back in March this year at the West Winner Sandbank, Hayling Island, Hampshire.
These sandbanks are exposed at low tide and the setting sun highlights the sand ridges and colours the puddles of water left be the previous tide.
1/15 second exposure using a Lee 0.9 + 0.6 (Reversed) ND grad filters.
Thanks for any comments you may wish to leave.
He'll be waiting for everone next year in the "Leave Something Take Something" box. Assuming he made it back in the box Saturday night.
This backdrop was made by EffietheDal's father and will be at PUDDLE again this year. I hope to see lots of cute photos in it.
Sadly my camera refused to focus on the butterfly, but you can still see it shooting liquid from its abdomen! Male butterflies often "puddle" by soaking up sodium from damp soils. They have to take in a lot of liquid to extract what they need, so they have to squirt out the excess. The sodium is then transferred to the female during copulation to aid in the growth of their offspring.
My daughter wanted to go jump in puddles and im not one to argue. It was a rainy day in May and we went to the local school and she started playing. This was one of the first shots of the trip by the end she was cold and soaked. The shot was taken with a nikon D60
Who doesn't love a big puddle? I mean seriously, you could hate the rain, you could hate the went weather, but I think everyone loves a puddle.
At the Smithville, Texas, Photo Festival it was pouring rain most of the day. I saw messages from people online the night before, and all morning on the day of, wondering if they should go. Of course you should go, it's a chance to get out and take photos!
When I first pulled into the town, I got there early. About an hour early, so I just casually drove around the streets to see what I could find that might interest me enough to whip out a camera.
The first thing I noticed when pulling into town was this HUGE, MASSIVE, puddle. It was probably 80' long, 6' wide, and 1' deep in parts. I couldn't get it out of my head.
So at the end of the day, as we were walking back to our cars I suggested to my friends we go play in the puddle. We got some stunt driving with my Subaru in the puddle, we got some dancing in the rain shots, there was some jumping over, and more. Indeed the puddle was great!
My friend Ashley agreed to skip across the water. Playfully, joyously, and without hesitation you could see she was a kid again. I think anytime an adult can let their inner child take over, play, and win, you'll live just a little longer.
Thanks Ashley for kicking off your shoes, and going for it, multiple times, so we could do something as simple as take a picture. It made my day.

The picture was made to help illustrate the rate oil is escaping from BP's Deepwater Horizon platform (May 2010). 70,000 barrels of oil per day is equivalent to a 1 mm deep puddle 13 metres across every second.

NS GP38-2 #5342 basks in the evening sun in front of Wheeling Nisshin Steel in Follansbee. The puddle was a result of heavy rain the previous evening as a line of thunderstorms rolled through the valley.
The local crew for this job normally comes on duty around 10pm. This is the southbound facing engine of a bracketed train. GP40-2 #3025 is on the other end.

Slightly edited shot of a girl parking her bike in Amsterdam reflected in a puddle. Taken with my Sony HX1. No editing besides some added contrast and saturation, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
Owning a bike in Amsterdam is like carrying a sign with you that says 'Steal my Bike!', so we have armed our beloved steel horses with chains, locks and self-activating flamethrowers to keep those darn Junkies from taking off with them in the dark of the night, not always successfully, as anybody who lives in the best city in the world will be able to confirm. It's just part of the natural life-cycle of a bike, you buy it, a Junkie steals it and you buy it back for 40 euros on the street from that same scum-bag a few days later, only to re-insert it into circulation, ready to be stolen again...unless you use the right kind of lock, like this young lady here, and always remember to lock your bike to something else, or they'll carry it into the next alley and gnaw through the chains :D
Have a great day, almost weekend!

Rainy day, puddle on a platform on Denmark Hill Station, London. Light reflected in the puddle. The ripples look quite hypnotic
Crystal Franks and I have plans to take our little girls out puddle jumping (we've been waiting for a good rain for months and finally we got one!), so today I wanted to "test the waters" (pun intended) before the real shoot. Hopefully it works out to shoot them tomorrow!
