Water Pictures

To see our full collection of
Water Pictures,
 It flows, babbles, rushes, and cascades. It can become
still or even freeze solid. If the heat rises, it can disperse
into buoyant particles that float heavenward. When the light
hits it just right, it can become a conduit for rainbows.
Water is the very picture of change, flux, and transformation.
No two moments are alike. It is for this reason that
photographers are both drawn to, and often frustrated by this
most complex subject.
“Water picture” can have as many meanings as the element has
phases: mountain stream water pictures, lake or pond water
pictures, or the mother of all water pictures, ocean water
pictures. Each of these scenes offer the photographer a unique
set of challenges, which if properly utilized, can be
transformed into a powerful composition that stirs within the
viewer a wide range of emotions.
The work of Bob Lilly provides a few stunning examples. His
pictures of Fly Geyser [1, 2, 3, 4] in southern Utah show water in one of its
most powerful and rare forms: a vertical spout. Partly natural,
partly manmade, this formation emerged over the last century
from failed attempt at an oil well. These fascinating water
pictures, taken from various angles at precisely the right
moment, are certain to inspire a sense of wonder.
 For a calmer effect, Lilly has also captured a still coastal
scene with a lighthouse pictured in the background. Also present
in his collection is a lovely image of a mountain stream cutting
its way through the rich soil of a verdant forest. Lilly also
offers a transcendent scene featuring a beautiful sunset at Mono
Lake, an extremely unique and interesting body of water located
in California's Eastern Sierra region. There the water is so
salty and the alkaline content so high that it can cause death
if a human being drinks it.
Other lovely water pictures will be added soon, so check back
often. In the future we hope to offer underwater pictures, as
well as abstract images that study the detailed qualities of
water in its fluid state. Like all of the images found on our
website, these water pictures can be printed in the size of your
choice when you order it framed.
