Wetland Reflections, Dawn. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Dawn clouds reflected in the surface of a wetland pond, Pacific Flyway, New Year’s Day 2022.
The dawn light is remarkably fleeting. The space between “too early” and “too late” can be extremely small, and on a morning like this one I might have only moments to see what is happening in the sky, find a foreground, create a composition, and make some photographs. When the light arrived and a small group of clouds appeared in the distance, I first worked handheld with a long lens in order to narrow the view and get some flexibility about positioning the tree. Then I grabbed another camera that had a wider angle lens attached, and I made a few photographs that included more sky and water than seen here.
I have photographed in some remarkable landscape, where particular objects demanded attention. But this landscape along the Pacific Flyway is not that sort of place. To be honest, often it can seem plain and even boring. Much of the area is agricultural country, and nearby there are large cattle operations — not the most scenic or pleasant of landscape subjects. But for a few months each winter the fields flood and migratory birds return, and when the conditions are just right magic may happen.

Getting into my car I was intrigued by my shadow in the back seat and my reflection in the car window, so I did a click.
Week 44:52 Reflections (Oct 28th - Nov 3rd)

In the local pharmacy today to get a flu shot and my brother has a birthday coming up this Friday, so I was getting a card...
with mirrors everywhere in the store, it was filled with reflections.
Thought I'd throw in an angle shot as well.

This would work for the creative selfie theme a few weeks back.
