I thought that the reflections of the taller plants in the Water Lily Garden were awesome. The water lilies themselves were spectacular too. So many colors and varieties. I could have spent an entire day just admiring water lilies.
I'm back in the comfort of home, and yet is already yearning for another road trip very soon...But for now, it's a time for reflection, for small conquests within the confines of daily living.
a few reflection shots, just rotated in dpp!!
thanks for all your views and taking the time to comment!!!! cheers!!!

Random puddle reflection shot in Amsterdam. Taken with my HTC Desire using the Camera360 Android app. No editing or magic tricks besides whatever that app did to the picture, no Photoshop :)
I've bitched and complained about this already a lot in the last 3 months, I am currently working 5 instead of my usual 4 days, and this is taking away all the time I usually reserve for shooting pictures and movies, so I have to improvise and take any chance I get to be able to create some photos on my way to the office, or the supermarket, or wherever it is I'm going. This is no fun, and the quality and quantity of my creative output is diminishing on a daily basis, something I don't appreciate and that I intend to reverse as soon as possible. Until then, these quick snap shots will have to do, I hope you're not too upset that you're having to look at these not-so-wicked reflections, lol :D

Oh, so much better on black, so press 'L' and you can have one of the two glases to enjoy...
Press 'F', and I'll give you BOTH glasses! :)
It's amazing how much I have learned since I took this shot... I could nail this in 15 minutes tops now, but this original took a bit of time... I may have to revisit this shot! :)
Original Post from 1/7/2011 on my old account:
Today's image has been rattling around in my head for about 2 days, and hopefully, it will make up for the total lack of inspiration yesterday's photo represents.
The final result is a bit different than what I had in mind, but I'm quite happy with it. It was a learning experience for sure. It's clear that while I have a pretty good understanding of Photoshop, I still have much to learn in lighting and setting up a shot like this. It's also clear I need more gear. :) Stronger lights, better (bigger) backdrops and stands to hold flags and such. Again though, this was a GREAT learning experience as, anyone who has shot glass before knows, capturing any kind of round glass like this is time consuming and detail oriented, and my work here is far from perfect.
Not too bad my first time out I think.
So, some quick details on the shot.
<BLOCKQUOTE>
* Full Manual
* 50mm
* f/4.8
* 1/15s exposure triggered remotely
* ISO 200
* No Flash
* A Daylight cool light in a shine-through umbrella (2650 lumens, 5000 kelvin) to the right of image.
* I also used a basic household CFL bulb in a shine-through umbrella, which gives the reddish tone above the white wine. That is behind and above the image.

The final picture is two images merged in Photoshop. First I took the red wine glass on a mirror. Then, poured a glass of white to the same level and VERY carefully placed in the exact same spot as the red (with camera on tripod, of course). I used the Nikon's focal points as reference to where the glass should be as I didn't want to mark on the mirror and create something else to edit out.
I then did layer masks in Photoshop and feathered the blending points. A little bit of touchup for some dust on the glass, and voila, the final image. And yes, the opposite background color tones is intentional. :) I was actually hoping for more white around the red, but it didn't look right, so it's more a shaded white.
Again, it isn't QUITE what I had in mind, but this 365 is about learning and growing, and this picture sure helped THAT cause along!
