Challenge: Fountain (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: 2013
Camera: Nikon D700
Lens: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Date: Apr 27, 2013
Date Uploaded: Apr 27, 2013

 Took this when I got together with [user]melethia[/user] for tea at Hollywood and Highland. Well, we were supposed to have tea, but didn't have reservations. Since when do you need reservations to have tea???? So we improvised, and had crepes! And because there is this wonderful dancing fountain at H&H, we brought our cameras.

Sadly, it is surrounded by clutter and God-awful, Vegas-style architecture, and infested with a bazillion tourists who seem predestined to walk through your shot, so getting a clean shot, or isolating the fountain is a challenge.

But kids (and an occasional adult) are always running through it, and if you're really lucky, someone is inspired to dance with it.
