Thirsty?

Uploaded: July 19, 2005

Description

My husband challenged me to find things around the house to shoot (because I was complaining that I didn't have anything interesting to take photos of), this is one of the results of that challenge. I had my daughter pour out the water while I snapped. I thought it looked kind of cool.

Camera Settings - Manual plus Macro Mode

Thanks so much Len, Laura, Cody, Shelly, Sandy, Alisha, and Judy! I really appreciate all the comments! My husband has sparked my interest in finding different things to shoot with this challenge. What's driving me crazy is the fact that the USB cable connection on our computer broke, so I can't load any new photos to the computer, and I have my cards almost full. So frustrating! #1614606
