This is the sun setting over Grand Lake, Oklahoma.

Water can be tricky to photograph. Do I use a long shutter? Short? How does one capture both feelings of serenity and movement at the same time? The upside is that all of these things make water fun to capture. Best advice is to simply try different things. Here’s another similar shot that developed differently:

Just the water in my cup at a Chinese restaurant. I was visiting a friend in Chanute, KS, and we went to eat. Never forget your camera.
