I want so badly to shoot with water and play with reflection...and I just haven't found the place yet. I challenged myself today to see if I could create a somewhat believable body of water with a reflection in it. The water here is completely fabricated; I think it looks pretty cool, maybe not very real looking, but something out of a dream.

Curving window reflects the courtyard of the Getty Center
This curving wall of tinted windows is a favorite subject of mine at the Getty — I have photographed it several times, in fog and rain, with people in front of it, with people behind, and the structure alone. People often move across the courtyard area in front of it on their way to other places, so I can catch people in motion against this background. In fact, one other series from this visit includes a child jumping and hopping his way across. Frequently people will appear momentarily between the columns leading into the distance at the right, too.
This was a very clear day, so the light is crisp and the reflections are very visible in the curving glass. The color of the glass almost reminds me of the water of a swimming pool, and I wonder if the architects thought about this when they designed this aquarium-like rounded building with its many windows.

Unedited water reflection shot of Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
This Autumn season is really spoiling me with plenty or rain, new puddles get created almost every day and I really have to force myself not to spend all my time hunched over wet spots on the pavement, I mean, really, there are more important things in life then to take photos of wicked reflections, for example...hmmmm, can't really think of anything, maybe I'll come up with something while I'll shoot some more puddles, lol :D

I was photographing the opening of a new pool on the tiny island of Tomma in Northern Norway, when I decided to look for something a bit different.
As I was taking some pics of the kids, standing all lined up and eagerly awaiting the opportunity to jump into the new pool, I looked down and noticed how the tiles lined up well with the reflection of the children and the big windows behind them.
It was a shot just waiting to happen.
On the very western edge of the county border between Derbyshire and Staffordshire, the footpath to Alstonefield crosses the river dove at Nettly Knowe.

A panorama of the new Southwharf precinct taken during our first Twilight Photography Get-Together in 2010.
Subject:
The picture shows the beautifuly designed AUD750mn Southwharf complex development which will hopefully soon will attract restaurants and nightlife to the newly completed promenade connecting South Bank Promenade with the Docklands (Lorimer Street end).
The complex consists of the new 5-Start Hilton Hotel, numerous fashion, electronic, and furniture stores. It's crown jewel, though, is the gigantic Melbourne Convention Centre (illuminated in yellow).
You can also see the magnificently designed Seafarers Bridge in the foreground casting a neon-blue light onto the Yarra River producing a stunning reflection.
Photographic Technique:
The picture is stichted from 6 individual shots (double row) forming a panorama taken about 38 minutes after sunset. Each picture has an exposure of 30s at f/7.1 and ISO 100. I had my UV and CPL filters mounted on my lens. I used DxO Optics 6 for the RAW file conversion, lens distortion optimisation as well as for contrast and detail enhancement. As usual Autopano Pro 2 did the stitching for me. I post-edited the panorama (minor color enhancements mainly) in Bridge and framed in Photoshop CS5.
Print:
The end-result is a stitched 60.0 Megapixel 343MByte large photograph which is printable 4.05m x 1.84m at 72 DPI (excl. black frame).

Various reflection shots, need to view all 5 in the set to fully appreciate. Taken with my Nikon 35mm SLR film camera and tripod, hence no exposure stats
You can see the reflection of our garage and the railing around the deck in Precious' eye if you "view all sizes."
This photo was made for Macro Mondays, the challenge was “Reflections."
Taken at my sisters wedding. She is a very happy new bride!
This photo took a lot of photoshop work to get it to this stage. I have the same shot with 4 other combinations. I went back and forth on the one I liked the best. The day was extremely bright, with the only clouds being on the horizon. There are 7 filters on the sky alone, just to get the clouds to show up! There are things I like and dislike about the editing on this photo, but ultimately I wanted my sister, her husband and the emotion of the shot to shine through. I think it does!
