A Dancing Fountain at the Bahai by taffy

A Dancing Fountain at the Bahai

Fountains surround the Bahai Temple. I became fascinated using the continuous shutter release and the way the water sprays varied within fractions of a second. Processing to create collage: (a) use LR to crop and basic process each candidate spray, (b) import to picmonkey collage to design collage, (c) export to computer and reimport into LR, (d) convert to b&w in Nik Silver Efex, (e) export to PS to clean up some stray lines, (f) export back to LR and then save.
Thank you for putting the collage of @weezilou Louise making Pavlova onto PP today. It really was delicious and fun to try to document.
Very nice collage. Each shot really nice on their own. Difficult to choose which I like the best.

@maggiemae They had a soft peaceful sound, which you could hear as you circled the building before you saw any individual fountain. Thanks for your visit and comment, as always!
