About This PhotoThe Story Behind
With the fresh spray of the Jet d'Eau rising vigorously against the canvas of the Geneva sky, I caught this scene at a shutter speed of 1/300 of a second, just fast enough to capture each water droplet in a crystalline state of suspension. An aperture setting of f/6.4 ensured the entire spectacle, from the water's textured surface to the distant hillside homes, was rendered with crisp clarity, while an ISO of 125 preserved the scene's natural lighting without a hint of grain.
Standing at the coordinates 46.205036, 6.150388, I was at the perfect vantage point, where the lake meets the city, converging nature with urban elegance. This photograph not only captures the height of the fountain’s jet, a landmark that has defined Geneva’s skyline since 1886, but it also encapsulates a serene yet vibrant moment that can be cherished forever.
The rainbow created by the mist was ephemeral, a fleeting artwork of nature, yet here it is: immortalized. It's a reminder that even though we pass by such wonders in our daily hustle, there's a timeless dance of light and water happening right before our eyes, waiting to be appreciated and remembered.
