Photo of the week: Starbursts

Lew Salotti

Each week we go through the photos you've sent us, pick our favorite and print it in our paper. If you've photographed something special, submit it to our Flickr group or email it to ten.repapytic@maertsotohp. We might just publish it.

Lights around the Fairmount Water Works and Boathouse Row gleam in this photo taken about dawn in March 2013. Shooting from the gazebo above the Water Works, Lew Salotti used a slow shutter speed to create the starbursts and the silky effect on the water as it cascades over the falls.
