Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHPsayhitothewater
The goal this weekend is to make photos that creatively capture your own reflection in the water. Our inspiration for the challenge comes from Brazilian photographer César Ovalle (@cesinha), who created the #sayhitothewater hashtag. Some tips to get you started:
Make sure to look beyond the puddle and get creative about where you might find interesting reflections. If you are in a dry area, fountains, glass and swimming pools can all reveal natural mirrors. Greetings come in many shapes and forms. Be bold when it comes to striking a pose with your hands, legs and feet. “Doing something unconventional is always worth a try,” suggests César. Focus on reflections that have interesting backgrounds but are not too polluted. Make sure the surface beneath the water is clean. If it’s too dirty, it can damage the end result. Pay attention to your style. “Wear interesting shoes,” encourages César.
PROJECT RULES: Please add the #WHPsayhitothewater hashtag only to photos taken over this weekend and only submit your own photographs to the project. Any tagged image taken over the weekend is eligible to be featured Monday morning.
