I was experimenting with shutter speed to capture flowing water. While I was initially shooting at a low shutter speed to blur the flow, I decided for close ups I needed to stop motion and get to more abstract in a different way.
It is very handy to have a water resistant camera.

Having to focus on flowing water photography techniques brings the benefits of shutter speed to blur motion or freeze motion for more detailed shots.

Beautiful capture! The high shutter speed really freezes the motion of the water, creating a stunning abstract effect. Great job!

Amazing shot! I love how clearly the details are captured the timing is perfect and the composition makes it really stand out. Well done!

I like how this kind of test reveals tiny issues that are hard to see with the naked eye. I once had to troubleshoot a home filter system where different taps had wildly different flow rates, so I ended up timing a bucket fill like some DIY Slice Master of plumbing diagnostics.

This is most likely the beginning of a clog. I had this happen—at first, the water just drained slowly, and after a couple of weeks, it stopped draining altogether. Hair and soap scum are usually the cause. You can refer to https://bens.plumbing/blog/why-your-bathroom-sink-is-draining-slowly-and-what-to-do-about-it/ . You can also use a drain snake or a drain cleaner. In most cases, the problem is in this section of the pipe.
