“At Bordeaux's Miroir d'Eua, the water cycles between mist/fog and a 2cm thick, 3450 square meter reflecting pool where children play, creating fun and excitement as well as relaxation for all.  Capturing the whole scene accurately is a challenge due to the erratic movement of the children and the fog, but I was fortunate to have perfect sun, clouds and time of day for soft light and good reflections that I could capture with low ISO, moderate shutter speed and a great f stop for my lens and required depth of field.”
