As discussed previously, the best way to improve your photography is to take lots of pictures, and learn from what you shoot. But what should you shoot?

Look around. Look up, look down. I found the subject for this photo as I casually glanced at a water fountain near a light rail station in Portland. The fountain was dry, and as water had evaporated the various deposits left behind formed a colorful series of lines and rings around the bottom of the bowl.

There’s plenty of material to shoot if you look around.
