Photographers Comments
Speed project, waited for cars to go through puddle and then attempted to get the resulting splash mid air. PP had to be B & W, 70mm focal length.

Method, as it was raining hard put an asda bag round the camera and an elastic band to keep it tight on end of lens. Used UV filter to protect end of lens from splashes, only the filter got wet, then waited.

Yes i am at it as well!

Hi Dennis, Good project, I like the image and it has worked well in B&W. But without your description of speed (we would not have worked it out by looking at the image alone). It would have worked extremely well if you had managed to catch the back end of the vehicle in the image. But well done for getting out there and braving the elements.

Cheers Barry, did get a lot with the end of the vehicle in but the splashes were crap! also they were very blurry. this one went through really fast and made the water jump to the right height! I did get a bit wet!

Here was the best effort i think the one without the car is better

Well done Dennis;I agree posted shot is best just have to use imagination but that's photography

Adds a new twist to "go play with the traffic"

Top marks for even going out with the camera in that weather; "ASDA Bag" what ever happened to "M&S" posh DSLR needs good marketing.

Cheers Mr wolf, got cars in and cars out felt the cars out had the greatest degree of difficulty as i had to show no vehicle but keep the spray. Took a few shots to get!

Hi Dennis, I think that this one fits the criteria of the PP better.
