Reader Stories: Photography Contest #93 - Water Entry Form

From , former About.com Guide

Our first assignment for August is water! So much of the U.S. is still being gripped by a nasty heat wave so in an effort to keep things as cool as possible our 93rd photography assignment theme is WATER. Whatever water you chose to photograph, make the water the subject. Freeze the motion of waves, blur the motion of rain, capture dew on the grass, there are nearly unlimited possibilities for focusing on water. Of course you can have other items in the image, but water should be the main focus.
