Went out yesterday to get some reflection shots but there was still ice on the water and the wind was biting cold. I ended up playing with this one.
I visit the U.S. National Arboretum more than any other place in the greater Washington DC area; it's just a few minutes from my home.
Even though the National Arboretum is a large property (446 acres or 1.8 sq-km), there's only one body of water .... a very small lake. Every autumn I try to get some nice reflection shots. They were quite brilliant on my last visit.
MANY more photos from the National Arboretum (all seasons) are in this dedicated album: www.flickr.com/gp/gary_w_house/R87Tju
While I was out photographing the Red-necked Grebes, I noticed a beautifully colored reflection on one area of the lake.
After, quite a bit of maneuvering, I finally got into position to get this shot.
So, no Loons, but, it was still a good day.

More reflections shots I am hooked on these!!! Caught the sunset in the water here!!! I am adding to my nature set , I take these photos while I am out hiking in the woods with my dogs!!!! Best viewed large!!~Thanks for all your nice comments and visits~~~MA;-))
This is two sewing needles. They are laid on glass with black shiny card below which gives the two reflections. I've used my Nikon Z6ii with a Nikkor 105mm macro lens and 1.4x teleconverter. It's lit with 2 LED video lights. There is about 2 inches of needles on show.
On one of my last days in the UAE, it was cloudy, overcast, and just kinda of blah. I really wanted to get this reflections shot of the mosque, but the weather looked really unpromising. That, and I also didn't want to drag Samiksha all the way down there for a dud and waste her time. We talked about it and we decided to just go anyway. We made the 1.5-ish hour drive when it started to rain... Not looking good. However, once we started to get about 10 minutes away, it began to open up a little. By the time we got there, there was a clear opening in the sky to the west. We walked over to my spot, set up the camera and the sky started to really take some shape and color! This ended up being another 9 image panoramic with multiple stacks for each image to remove the people and cars in the scene. The full resolution image shows some really impressive detail - I cant wait to print it big someday haha. It was a really amazing experience!! I hope you all can enjoy it as much as I do!
I think the budget for polish was blown very early on at the Rail 200 event. The opportunities for reflection shots were incalculable.
Whilst i took a bucket full of conventional railway shots i also took my fair share of what i call Phoenix / 1Z10 shots.
50035 Ark Royal is reflected in the highly polished body work of 55009 Alice something, I cant quite remember. ;-)
I have seen plenty of salt stream photographs from Death Valley before but never have I ever seen the in person at Death Valley.
After my 3rd time bringing my camera to the park I finally found an area with a large salt stream. But knowing me I am looking for the perfect composition. I didn't just want a reflection shot of the salt stream with some mountains and clouds. I wanted the salt stream to actually be the main subject and compliment the overall composition of the image.
I luckily stumbled upon this particular stream that split into two streams which then joins each other and slithers through the frame creating the perfect S-curve towards the setting sun.
Of course, I got some pretty epic conditions at one of my favorite compositional finds in the the park.

The exhibition park lake in Newcastle upon Tyne. This lake and the building in the centre of the photograph were created for the great exhibition of 1929. The building which is called the palace of arts is the only one still standing from the exhibition of 1929. Over the years the building has been a science museum but now hosts the Wylam brewery. The lake itself has gone from being a boating lake to a haven for wildlife. I took these photographs while heading to the hoppings on the town moor, which is just behind the palace of arts, in June 2019. If you look carefully you may see some of the rides in the background. I was well pleased with theses reflection shots.
So I'm waiting patiently on the bridge in Epcot for a monorail to come into view over the glass smooth calm water so I can grab a reflection shot. And waiting...and waiting. Just before the monorail finally rounds the curve, two ducks swim into view and start splashing each other, and the water ripples. Goodbye monorail reflection shot! However, this is what I wound up with after a crop.
Fake Train Friday:-
The Alco RS units are my all time favourite loco, especially when re-engined with 251 prime movers - like those in Portugal.
The 244 ones are decent enough and a multi decade ambition to ride behind all the D-L RS-3s was finally completed on 8th May when #4068, the last example I needed out of their four, worked the Key Lock & Lantern excursion from Carbondale on 8th May 2026.
We managed to get seats in the caboose, so on the way back soaked up the responsive Alco roar from the 244 power units from the caboose veranda right behind the locos. The fact the Alco PA worked the train too that day was a minor consequence really!

just a quick low pov puddle reflection shot in front of the NBC Building looking south captured right after the greening of the Chicago River last March...straightened the shot and toned down the saturation for a more subdued feel to it, almost monochromatic...pls. View On Black

Amtrak 42, the first of the "Honoring Our Veterans" heritage units that many railroads now roster, is seen creeping through the tiny hamlet of Bristol, IL. Recent rainfall created a swamp in the makeshift parking lot that sits across from where the original depot still stands (now a house), making for an opportunity for this reflection shot.
Mobie&Me, reflected on a car window. Taken with my C905 mobile phone. No editing besides some added contrast&saturation, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
In my humble opinion, taking wicked reflection shots on them is the best thing you can do with cars :))
Have a nice long Easter weekend, enjoy the sunshine, take care but take it easy!

January morning in Jackson Hole Valley at Oxbow Bend and a frozen Snake River. There is no way to get the obligatory reflection shot of Mt. Moran.

Yet another take on the classic St. Louis Gateway Arch reflection shot. I really like the exposure and colors here, didn't like the gross stuff growing in the water though. Alas, if that's all that bothers me I can live with that, especially since this won't be the last attempt at this sight. :) Please let me know what you all think as any suggestions or comments are welcomed and appreciated. Enjoy!
The light was perfect for a good reflection shot, and what better than to have it already framed for me in the architecture of the fine arts gallery on campus? HWW
A dull, dark day today and no photos to show, so it is back to Wednesday for another reflection shot from the chilly morning visit to Glen Affric.
Unedited mobile phone cam shot of buildings, a biker and some boys, reflected in a puddle in Amsterdam.
No Photoshop or any other software/tricks was used to create this wicked reflection shot :))
Even though I refer to the people in this picture as 'Urban Riff Raff', I don't mean it in a bad way, I just like the sound of the words, I'm sure they're all very nice, talented, loving and caring people, that are on their way home, to tell a significant other how much they cherish and appreciate them being part of their life :))
Have a wonderful, wicked weekend, I'm going on a 50 kilometer bike trip in an hour, with lots of lovely people, it's gonna be so much fun, the sun is shining, my bag is packed and I can't wait to hop on Bikey and kick off :))
We've had some significant rain the past couple of weeks. Always looking for a reflection shot and this is what I came up with.
As some of you may know, I've been on a mission this summer to get a great sunrise reflection shot from Bear Lake in Rocky Mountain National Park. And while I'm not proud of how many failed attempts are behind this morning's wonderful sunrise (and I intentionally didn't keep count), I am pretty sure I ran up to Bear Lake in an attempt for this shot 17 times in the past 6 months. Keep in mind I live 1 hour and 50 minutes away. All this makes the final shot and the fact that mother nature FINALLY cooperated - that much more rewarding. I don't think I would have even taken on this challenge if I'd known how long it would take, but looking back on it, I'm also glad I didn't give up.
In all my failed attempts, I had a chance to think about all the reasons I wasn't happy and insisted on going back again and again and again. So in fun, here are the top 10 reasons I claimed I had to go back:
10. No clouds
9. Too many clouds
8. No clouds over Longs Peak
7. Raining
6. Amazing clouds, but they never lit up
5. Wicked windy
4. Snowing
3. Clouds to the east blocked the early morning sun
2. A couple of people beat me to my spot and blocked both spots I'd scouted
1. The darn lake was still frozen!
In the end, I caved on one of the things I was hoping for in my dream shot. I'd originally hoped for a super calm morning where I could get a detailed reflection of Longs Peak and the glowing clouds. And while I suppose that may be possible someday, I found few calm mornings and besides cool clouds don't tend to hang around on the calm mornings. So with a Neutral Density filter in-hand, I decided I'd smooth out the ripples and go for the glowing color instead of reflected details. This approach seemed to help open the door to finding the more interesting weather.

Early morning light hits the Grand Teton range en-route to Schwabachers Pond for the traditional reflection shot...
The Snake River flows gently past us...
The nice clouds gathering at the base of the range kept on arriving until one hour after the shot the mountains were no longer visible...
Daffy, the stupid duck, appears to have been spooked by 'Royal Scot' No. 46115 'Scots Guardsman' and has gone for the 'Mallard' equivalent of hop, skip and mess up someone's planned reflection shot. Fortunately the shutter was faster than the duck, which has been captured about to make a big splash in the Dudley Canal at Old Hill just as 46115 passes above working 5Z59 1011 Kidderminster SVR - Carnforth Steamtown on 7th July 2025.

Those of you who are familiar with my photostream will be familiar with this window. It has been good to me over the years and provided some interesting reflection shots. I found it interesting this time that the window was clear and yet the opposite window had frost on it. The tower is unheated.
The County of Lamont is working to designate the Spasa (Muskalik) Bell Tower as a Municipal Historic Resource to eventually allow for the replacement of the roof, repairs to the doors and repainting of the Bell Tower.
You can view some wonderful images of both the church and bell tower in the Spaca Moskalyk group.

My wife and I were talking last night about how my 365 is fairly repetitive. Sure, I get some great reflections or puddle shots while I’m out running - but that happens more often than not. So on today’s run, I couldn’t ignore the great reflections but tried to find that different approach. Anyways, here’s a reflection of Brisbane in the Brisbane river today. I’m running along the river again tomorrow - chances are it will be another “Rod is out running and found a reflection” shot but I guess one day of creativity is better than none.
Smyth: Jefa put the kettle on, please. It's too big for me!
It isn't really a kettle, but I love this shot. I was surprised at how many mirror/reflection shots there were to choose from.

i captured this yesterday morning at Millennium Park as a cleaning crew were prepping up and cleaning the Bean...i took advantage of the puddles the washing created and did some puddle reflection shots using my Rokinon fisheye and this is the result...have a great week friends!

Another cutlery reflection shot. This time on a meshed wire cover of a fan...
Strobist: Don't remember exactly but very possibly two strobes from the sides (right and left) at almost 180° angle, triggered by GI radio triggers
Finally, some quieter weather allowing for some reflection shots. The weather in the UK this winter has been generally yuk; mainly wet and windy, and no snow, in my area at least, with another storm coming in for the weekend!
Anyhow, a shot of the Humber Bridge, taken from the south bank.

In June we went to the de Young museum, located in San Francisco's Golden Gate park. Perfect for a reflection shot.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure, carefully adjusted the curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
