Wow! We’re already up to the 33rd edition of the Tuesday Photo Challenge! Last week’s challenge was all about Fresh! And your response to this topic was filled with great images and ideas, which made it not only fresh, but also fulfilling!
In thinking about where to take this challenge to next, I looked for something that might actually make a bit of sense to be a follow up to all things fresh…
Then I came up with the idea of going with the flow, which led me to this week’s challenge theme of Flow. In capturing the concept of flow, there are a number of directions that you can take. With a short exposure time, you can freeze the flow in mid-motion, or you can take a longer exposure to show flow over time. Also, keep in mind that flow can be more than liquids…
So, there is lots of room for creativity, which I am looking forward to seeing. Here’s an example from about 4 years ago…

This shot was all about capturing the power of water in motion, as works its way down the falls, carrying tree trunks and chewing at the rock.
For those who’d like to participate in this weekly challenge, the rules are the following:
- Write a post with an image for this week’s topic
- Please tag your post with fpj-photo-challenge (if you’re not sure about how tags work, please check out this WordPress article about tagging posts)
- Create a pingback link to this post, so that I can create a post showing all of the submissions over the week (note: pingbacks may not appear immediately, as my site is set up to require approval for linking to it; helps against previous bad experiences with spamming)
- Have fun creating something new (or sharing something old)!!
After a fresh week, let’s keep the ideas flowing! Have fun!
Technical Details
This image was captured with a Canon EOS 5D MkII using an EF24-105mm f/4L lens. Exposure settings were 1/5 second at f/22 and 100 ISO. Note that you can also ‘trick’ automatic cameras into this type of exposure by experimenting with the program modes.
