Splash! by orangecrush

Splash!

My daughter thought I was crazy today when I told her I wanted her to jump in this puddle! When Dad has the camera out they know they can get away with murder! :o)
Its raining cold and wet here today...well, its 48 deg and for California, that's cold! I know the majority of you out there are probably laughing right now! I actually had to bust out the winter jacket today! For me that would be a hooded sweatshirt! :o)

Thank you all for the great comments and favs lately! It was a lot of fun to see the response to my Duck, duck... shot! Thank you sooo much!
Ohhh, puddle jumping!!! My kids love to puddle jump. Hope you were able to get her to dry footwear soon :-) Nice capture of the feeling.

Lovely shot Jerry!
February 20th, 2013  
ohhhh great pic Jerry!
February 20th, 2013  
haha! love it! And I totally agree! I went to throw out trash in my flip-flops and came back in saying, "Man, it is freezing out there! It must be in the 30's!" But then I checked... 47 degrees. LOL! So SoCalifornian!

Being a Midwesterner, I used to laugh at Californians for their "cold weather" wear. Now I am one. Love this shot and the splash of water.
February 20th, 2013  
Nice shot, I like the B&W
February 20th, 2013  
good you have a child to help you with your ideas for shots.
i miss it that mine are grown up.
glad you had fun and made this great photo too.
February 20th, 2013  
Crackin' shot! The splash is teriffic!
February 20th, 2013  
Water shots are not easy as I have found and have never got to the wonderful ones that other people put up! I like this one for the fact that your daughter did go 'splat'!
February 20th, 2013  
Nice shot, it has built in fun.
February 20th, 2013  
This is such a "feel good"shot. Love the splashes
February 20th, 2013  
Fuuuuuunn!!! Such a happy shot, nice to have cooperative kids :-D
February 20th, 2013  
Great splash!
February 20th, 2013  
Super fun shot! Love this in black and white too Jerry :)
February 20th, 2013  
Great fun shot Jerry - perfect pov and looks cool in b&w! Are you sure your in California - looks more like a grey wet day in England - just warmer! ; )
February 20th, 2013  
brilliant! love the pp
February 20th, 2013  
hahaha i've done that in the middle of winter, the kids look blankly at you until they realise its for a photo!! :) great snap!
February 20th, 2013  
Theres nothing like jumping in puddles.... great capture and love the B&W
February 20th, 2013  
Well done!
February 20th, 2013  
cool splash shot - jumping in puddles is fun as long as it's not a muddy one and your feet don't get too wet!!
February 20th, 2013  
Great shot!
February 20th, 2013  
Ha! Great shot and I bet she loved it!
February 20th, 2013  
awesome shot! love that you chose b&w for it!
February 20th, 2013  
Love it! And yes, there's a wry smile on my face right now for the temp comments... Now that we've actually had around 0C (low 30's) for a couple of days I'm actually thinking it's getting quite warm already - compared to the steady 14F or thereabouts (and colder) of January. :D How I'd love to trade your cold for our cold. :D
February 20th, 2013  
Fantastic shot :) Love the depth of the blacks and focus on the sneakers. My son has also benefited from my 365 project...it involved strawberries and chocolate...so when winter really gets here, I shall have a go at trying your shot. Bound to be a winner in his eyes lol
February 20th, 2013  
Great shot, nice clear focus on the shoes!
February 20th, 2013  
Mel
oh fun shot! nice black and white
February 20th, 2013  
Oh what a great capture. Very cool
February 20th, 2013  
Nat
Great capture!
February 20th, 2013  
Yes, when we are out there with our camera, the kids enjoy the freedom to go beyond the norm. As far as the cold spell, I'm sure it will pass through quickly
February 20th, 2013  
Looks like great fun, love this shot!
February 20th, 2013  
Great capture
February 20th, 2013  
The cool shoes make for an extra fun splash shot. Being Canadian, I think it is a warm day when it is 0 degrees C (32 F) I think....I take out the trash in my house coat and slippers in the snow!

February 20th, 2013  
Beautifully captured! I should get my grandkids doing some stuff like this for me :)
February 20th, 2013  
love the fact that you did this one in black and white
February 20th, 2013  
Cute shot! This shot reminded me when we went to the mountains. My girls were climbing on the big rocks in the Smoky mountains. Her foot slipped in the water and got her new black converse shoes wet.....she was not happy! Thanks for sharing.
February 20th, 2013  
such a fun shot..and is she wearing Converse? best shoe around!!
great choice in b&w
February 20th, 2013  
Great capture! I love how the soes are in focus and the water splash is not - great effect :)
February 20th, 2013  
Fab shot, great timing! I'm smiling at your idea of "cold"! Any time we drive to Florida, we'd laugh at the wimpy southerners for wearing parkas and mitts just at the time that we'd be ready to take ours off.
February 20th, 2013  
I love love love it!
February 20th, 2013  
Beautiful! What a great picture :) tried this with my daughter to with my old camera without a good result. Today I bought a new camera, with more possibilities. Can't wait to start ( battery is still loading..)
February 20th, 2013  
Great b&w
February 20th, 2013  
Nice splash! Works really well in b&w.
February 20th, 2013  
Fun!
February 20th, 2013  
Such a fun shot...for both of you! I'd love that weather right now! They are calling for an ice storm for us today!
February 20th, 2013  
Great focus on the sneakers and such rich blacks and whites.
February 20th, 2013  
Well done!!!!! I was raised a So Cal girl now living in Seattle where puddle jumping is a must.
February 20th, 2013  
Really cool fun shot! Stay warm :)
February 20th, 2013  
Ana
Super shot
February 20th, 2013  
@tryeveryday I had to laugh to myself saying it was cold here! Stay warm!
February 20th, 2013  
@prinseslo yay! I love shiny new cameras! Hope that battery charges fast! :)
February 20th, 2013  
She must have been totally confused by a parent actually encouraging her to jump in a puddle! ;-)
Fun shot - works well as a b&w.
February 20th, 2013
