No filters involved , found this location a while ago looking for new locations in Manchester. A few variations on the idea of using a modern building to create a reflection.

I had a chance to make some images with Laura. Laura is the mom of Addison (of D3100 fame).
Laura spent a good portion of the night in the water. First it was trying out the new portable reflection pond. (It still needs more work.) Then we moved on the the pool. This image was made near midnight and the temperture had dropped into the mid-60s.
You can see here that her professionalism really paid off!
Can't wait to work with her again. Maybe next time she will get to stay dry.
Tech Stuff: I put my SB-900 into a really old PhotoFlex Softbox. I used this one because, once on the stand (an old one of those too), I placed the whole thing into the pool. The bottom 1/3 of the softbox was submerged. I really wanted the light skimming across the water, not bouncing off the surface. I used a boom arm weight to weigh it down and help keep it steady in the water.
I used the 200-400mm from a tripod (flattened to about 6" off the ground) on the pool deck. I thought about getting in the water, but I think this worked better.
Note to my wife: I am NOT a packrat! I keep all the old crappy stuff for when I have to do shoots like this.

of Cathedral Rock found in a pool alongside Oak Creek at Red Rock Crossing in Sedona. This pool about 2 feet wide served as a great reflecting surface for a larger reflection of Cathedral Rock when the camera was placed just above the water's surface.
Reflection Canyon is a side canyon of Glen Canyon, now the controversial reservior Lake Powell, and its name can be seen on the USGS 7.5' topo map. Its beautiful curves and contrast between water and sandstone walls were first captured by National Geographic photographer Michael Melford in spring 2005, when the water level of Lake Powell hit its lowest since it had been filled in 1970s. It squeezed my curiosity again last October, when Melford's photo featured in the Retina display of Apple's newest generation of 13" Macbook Pro. I first thought this secret location can be only reached by boat -- there was a boat passing through the canyon in Melford's original work. Surprisingly, after simply googled the name, I read a (not-so-successful) trip report of hiking to the exact spot by German photographer/hiker Rainer Grosskopf. He was able to got there after negotiated a strenuous 8-mile (then doubled to make roundtrip) hike on rough terrain without any trail or mark, but the water level was significantly higher than that of 2005, making it more like a large pond instead of curving waterway. The water level is much lower now, but it is still 50' higher than Melford's luck, making me not couragous enough to take the risk with my limited travel opportunity, so the plan was put aside indefinitely until a couple of weeks ago, when I saw Chen Su from Kansas, posted a photo of Reflection Canyon with decent water level, on the social network website Renren. He followed the GPS waypoints shared by Grosskopf and told me it was indeed a tough adventure. Although I was pretty confident in finding route and hiking long distance in the southwest desert environment, still I thought going alone would be too risky. I grabbed Kai Song (Bro Bing) as the partner, together with two of his friends we formed a group of four and tackled the route on a sunny spring day. We were definitely stunned when we overcame the last obstacle and the surreal view filled our eyes. The resulting snapshot was not as perfect as Melford's -- the water level was still about 40' higher than the lowest thus the rock fins connecting the walls and buttes were still under water -- I still feel content and proud for seeing it with my own eyes after such an unforgettable adventure.
Reflections in a wall of the Sponsor Village in Torino in the period of the XX Olympic Winter Games - Torino2006
September has brought down the heat of the summer considerably. We get rain and showers in the evenings, blessings from above....:-)
It was late in the evening, I decided to go for a walk, of course with my camera. All the birds had settled down in the trees, butterflies, squirrels, monkeys and deers had also left for the day. As I was returning with disappointment, I spot this magic place where the reflections could be seen in the water. Tamarind tree leaves & blue sky are in the fore front reflections.
To get the real essence of the picture, I didn't use flash.
Reflection on wet street spotted at Knez Mihailova street in Belgrade, Serbia on a cold December morning.
A little reflection will enable any person to detect in himself that setness in trifles which is the result of the unwatched instinct of self-will and to establish over himself a jealous guardianship.

The last of my Vienna shots for now. This one was a quick snap of the reflections against one of the more modern office buildings. Got a bit lazy with the f-stop here, should have been at least f8 really.

Limbs rising out of the lake and their reflections
So, I thought of taking this car for a spin, but decided against it. Perhaps it was the pit bull that stood on the other end. ;) (And no, you cannot find me in the reflection... what fun would that be?) :o
