Default Assignment: Still water
Photographing Water is very hard: there are reflections, focus is not easy to achieve and it is a difficult subject for B&W photo's.

This weeks assignment, puts all your skills to the test. Make a B/W photo of still water.
Photo's of running water are not allowed.

Good luck!

Well you must have guessed I've made this assignment especially for you, since there is no Halloween on your board..

The sea water does count as long as it is not running like a river, tap-water or something like that.

Given the lack of water in the desert, I'll post an older photo. This is one of the very first photos I ever took when I got into photography and was shot with my D80, 18-135 kit lens and tripod at water level. It was a reclaimed water pond in California and the only little bit of trees around in that desert. If I can find some, I'll try and look for some water in this desert too and post another.
