Long reflection. The Black Dragon Pool, in Lijiang. After Shaxi, I went to this Disneyland of a town. Needless to say it was not my favorite. While the old city is beautiful, it’s more a market for tourists than anything else. First, you need to pay 80 Yuan (around 10€) just to buy the...
This is a close-up photo of the afternoon sunlight casting the dancing shadow of a bamboo window blind on an old television, and the reflection of my left hand in the TV screen.
Sunset reflection. Lake Kukkia, Luopioinen, Finland. 24.5.2018
It was special evening to see plenty of beautiful reflections on windless lake Kukkia surface.
One of my favorite hobbies is to kayak or go slowly with boat during sunrise or sunset on wildless moments. I like to use wide range Nikkor 28-300mm lens which gives me possibility to observe the surrondings for beautiful details. Before the sunset it is more pleasing to see water reflections away from the sun direction. I shoot also directly towards the sun but it really hurts my eyes to even climpse the sun so it is mostly blind shooting in hope to catch something beautiful which can also happen if I shoot very much. However, it is much more pleasing to shoot something that I can really see and focus on. When I shoot from boat or kayak I have to avoid too long exposure times because boat or kayak is always moving a little even in windless conditions. During the last moment of sunset and right after sunset I usually shoot directly to sun direction. I also like to zoom a lot and shoot series of photos to combine as panoramas later. I find that zoomed photos are much more balanced images in color tones than wide angle photos which tend to look small bright spots and quite dark elsewhere. With Lightroom and Photoshop with some effort it is possible to convert even dark wide angle photos to shining sunset images but I don't like to do that too much. For me it is more pleasing that I get the original photo quite the same as the final processed one.
Took a mental health day off work today, was happy to come across this Kingfisher. I had always thought they migrate south of here for winter, but some more expert birders I met today told me if they have access to open water, they will stay in our area through the winter.

This image is looking out over the Baltic Sea towards Stavsnäs on the mainland (April 2013). The sea did not freeze here at all this year.
After the rain in Santa Rosa, Sonoma County, California we had puddles of water. Great for reflections. Yes I flipped it. Taken with my iPhone 14 Pro Max.
Reflection Canyon was probably the most brutal hike I've done. It was 10 miles each way, which doesn't sound that bad, but it was off-trail, lots of sand, lots of up and down, and there was no guarantee of water, so Matthew Saville and I each carried 7L. Our backpacks weighed 58 lbs each at the start of the trip. Despite doing multiple training hikes, we barely made it.
During the night, I tried to roll over and my hips were so sore that I literally yelled out in pain.
Good times. I may do it again this spring.
I thought there should be pareidolia somewhere in all those reflection photos I took in the Portneuf River a month ago. I think this looks like a cartoon canine portrait. Goofy?
The better picture is associated with better light, and a clean environment. A big camera sensor and a prime lens. Most of all the skills of photography are very important. The more you take pictures the better results come out. Have a great weekend!
One of the most powerful composition techniques in landscape photography is using reflections and mimicry. That is what immediately caught my eye when I saw this dead cholla mimicking the live saguaro in the distance. When I work with people in the field, a common question I get asked is how do I deal with focus stacking and exposure blending all in the same shot? To answer that question, I recorded a video discussing the editing process of this shot. This video will be sent to our loyalty subscribers tomorrow.

Have a nice weekend!

This description is for the "the one I really like. a singular experience" group. I've chosen to post this photo to the group because I think it's one of the best photos I've ever taken. It was a spur of the moment thing. I had taken my son and daughter to a park on Bellingham Bay in the late afternoon and they were both near the water looking for interesting rocks. I caught my son during that with the water behind him. I was thrilled with the photo and posted it to Flickr shortly afterward. My wife only saw it for the first time just a couple weeks ago, and she stopped what she was doing, approached the computer with a look of shock on her face. She stared at it for a moment and said, "You took that? You really took that? He's beautiful. It's perfect! It's just so... him!" Probably the best compliment I've gotten on a photo ever.
Aesthetically, what I really love about this image is the vague yin and yang with my son's silhouette and the dark part below balancing the bright part. Probably the best use of negative space in any of my photos.
Early morning reflections at Burrator reservoir after the rain had cleared. The sun was generating some lovely surface mist on the water. Thanks for looking :-)

Dawn created such a beautiful image given a chance after the rains to show the yet another glimpse of the heavens in nature.

When the day had come for him to finally see the outside world he ventured back into the small bathroom. He had to see it now. Slowly he reched out and tucked on the towel covering the mirror. He stared. Stared and stared at his own reflection, dropping the towel to the ground.
His face. He reached up towards it. It was gone. It was just gone. He had felt it but he had never dared to actually look at it and see how bad it was. Where once was a thick black beard now only hung a few strands of white hair barely resembling a beard. Where once his nose was, was now a hole. A black deep hole. He looked like he had been dead for a long, long time.
Tears ran down the red, peeled skin that stretched over pointy cheekbones.
Maybe, he thought- it was better this way. Better that Sophie and the Baby were still in that Cryopod. Sleeping the reality away.
They would've been scared of him! Hell, he was scared of himself.
He looked like a monster, like something from a movie or Video game but now. It was all a harsh reality.
The mirror shattered into a thousand pieces when his exposed knuckles hit the glass, cutting deep into his flesh as he screamed in agony and pain, his lonely voice echoing from the tiled walls of the underground Laboratory . He sank down to his knees, sobbing, crying...Nothing in this world would ever be the same. And as he looked down, reaching for a shard of mirror, lifting it up , looking at his reflection once more, he suddenly realized that he was, in fact, all alone now.
