I have worked with JP for quite a while now and he has always taken a keen interest in my photography and FPR.

I keep going back to this spot for the great colours that form at sunrise, sunset and the reflections that are created on the water. Coupled with the backdrop of Marlow and it’s church spire and bridge and it’s too much of a photo opportunity to only take a couple!……………….

Water Photography The Easy Way →
There are loads of images all over FLickr and alike featuring coloured drops of water close up. The random nature of water makes for a different photo each time and it is not as hard to set up a small ‘set’ to capture ‘the Chaos Theory’ in action!
