In Phoenix, where I live, there are many man-made fountains and waterfalls located front of the housing complexes, apartment complexes or golf clubs. Many of them are very well done, can’t separate them from the natural thing… even  multilayer falls with bridge crosses.

There is one very close to where I live, which I wanted to take pictures of for a long time. Finally today I found time to do that. Lucky me, I had three filters with me to use it middle of the day, under the harsh sunlight to create “angel-hair” affect

This corner located at 83rd ave and Beardsley road in Peoria… belongs to a housing complex. I’ve seen many photographers taken wedding, engagement and family photos there. Maybe one day I will be taking my wife’s photos… I am sure they will come out gorgeous :)

I used multiple angles to take these photos, I also added layer in Photoshop (which I love to do sometimes) and text to make them look like postcards

Equipment: Nikon D1x camera, 18-55 Nikkor Kit lens, three neutral density filters (at once), tripod

Settings: ISO 125, Shutter 1Sec, F25, hi jpg (Not raw)

I also did use Topaz filter I installed for my Photoshop  there is a Black-White chalk filter, which got me interesting results, sharing with you

Thanks… and enjoy
