Our
local fire department flushes all the hydrants in the
neighborhood periodically and I decided to see if I could
simulate the effect. The upper cap on the hydrant was
selected and repositioned with its chain and the shadow
adjusted. The stream of water is from a stock photo. The
water in the gutter was manufactured in Elements. The
sidewalk near the hydrant was darkened to simulate wet
concrete and a reduced opacity reflection of the hydrant
and a lens flare added.
