Fountain in the City by taffy

Fountain in the City

Today we are in the midst of thick fog and rain, so I returned to the walk I took yesterday, which started with re-visiting Buckingham Fountain. With the sun at a different angle than last time, I was able to shoot into the northwest skyline as background. I had to go down to an ISO of all 64 and aperture at f22 to slow down the shutter enough for the water flow, but that also meant a deep depth of field so the buildings don't blend into a softer focus background that a larger aperture would have allowed.
Thank you for your wonderful comments on my dancer collage yesterday--I could have photographed her all day!
Beautiful sharp detail in the plumes of water and all the buildings!

What a wild juxtaposition of buildings and shapes! Lovely to see the softening in places from the greenery. It looks such a dramatic fountain.
