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.
MÁV's 182 563 awaits departure from Wien Hauptbahnhof heading EC145 12:42 to Budapest-Kelenföld, the dry riser cabinet is quite handy for a reflection shot.
I took this photo on Koh Pahngan at Hat Yao beach. I wasn't really lucky with the sunsets we had here this itme, but I think this one is worthwhile for display at Flickr.
The withdrawing water gave me the opportunity for a nice reflection shot here....

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!
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.

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.
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming USA
Part of downtown Palo Alto in California has been converted to a car free zone, with restaurants operating outdoors. People got used very quickly to the new mask-less normal, not many patrons were them. The trees are decorated with small LED lights, which gives a nice background for this reflection shot on a car window with the fast f/0.95 Dream Lens.
I processed a realistic and a paintery HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

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
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. ;-)
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.

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.
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

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...
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!
I took my dog for a walk at the local ponds this morning and got this colorful fall reflection shot. It's starting to look like fall in Boulder.
I have been wanting to make a trip up to Yosemite during Autumn ever since purchasing "The Four Seasons Of Yosemite" by Mark Boster a couple of years ago. I had also just recently seen a photo by Michael Frye showing the sun coming up much further to the South of Half Dome giving some wonderful side light to the trees along the Merced River and I knew that there would only be a few weeks out of the year when you could photograph the light hitting the changing leaves from that angle. As Veterans Day fell on a Monday this year, it opened up just enough of my Fall schedule to allow me to make a quick overnight trip up to the park. I set off at 6 AM last Saturday and arrived in the park just after noon.
The most amazing thing about this trip was....it was like visiting the park again for the very first time. The light and shadows were completely different than my last visit in June. In June, huge expanses of the park are completely lit by the sun for the entire day, but in November, the jagged peaks of the Cathedral Rocks and Sentinel Rock move continuously across the valley floor. In the Eastern part of the valley, only a small section will light up in the morning and then the sun is gone for the rest of the day. And the water levels were radically different. Yosemite Falls and stopped flowing completely and Bridal Veil was down to a thin wisp. The upside to this was that the river was almost impossibly still in several locations, creating an incredible mirror to the changing leaves of the Cottonwoods and Oaks along its banks.
After a quick hour or so of shooting in the valley, I drove up to the trailhead for Sentinel Dome as Glacier Point road was still open. I had never been up to the top of the Dome before and was completely blown away by the 360 degree panoramic view of the park and surrounding peaks.
After spending the night with some friends in Mariposa, I woke up at 4:30 AM and drove up to Glacier Point for the Sunrise. Again, I was amazed at the extreme change of angle of the sunrise. In June, the sun comes up almost directly behind Half Dome, but in November, the sunrise was FAR to the right, lighting Half Dome from behind. After shooting for an hour or so, I ran back to the car and drove back down the the valley floor. I was positive that I had waited too long to get my sunrise reflection shot of Half Dome, but as I parked by Yosemite Village and ran through the trees, it looked like I had shown up just in time. The trees along the Merced in that corner of Yosemite had just hit peak and the sun was still low enough to grab a bit of a starburst behind the larger firs and pines on the opposite bank.
Although my time in the park was brief, I shot almost non stop while I was there as there was still plenty of color up and down the Merced River. I came back with over 2000 images and I'll try to upload as many as I can over the next few weeks.
If you had asked me three years ago if I wanted to shoot Yosemite during Autumn, I would have passed. Brown weeds, low water levels, no waterfalls...why make the trip? After shooting up there this weekend, I could not have been more mistaken. Between the changing leaves, pristine reflections, and completely different light and shadows to work with, I would highly recommend making a trip up there between September and November to ANYONE who is a fan of Yosemite National Park.
NB: When I arrived at the location in the above shot, I was literally the only one shooting for a full 30 minutes. If not for Michael Frye's book , The Photographer's Guide To Yosemite I wouldn't have known about this location at all. This was not taken from Sentinel Bridge, but from just off the overflow parking area of Yosemite Village. If you are trying to find this spot, park as far East as you can in the lot, walk through the trees, and you're there.
so I was aiming for a reflection shot (for the 12 mths theme) in the puddle with Biscuit, somehow it didn't happen, I wasn't thinking properly I'd say ;-)
anyway, thought this was pretty :-)
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.

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.
Shot on iPhone 16 Pro.
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.
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!

You can't beat a good reflection shot although the puddle is some way back from the platform edge. 66849 at the head of the RHTT awaiting departure.
In June we went to the de Young museum, located in San Francisco's Golden Gate park. Perfect for a reflection shot.

As a sometimes costume designer, I can never resist a dress form. Even when they're miniature. These were about 12 inches high.
I wish I could have gotten this image without the sliver of the window, but this was the only angle without distracting reflections. Shot through the window of course.
Some ordinary parfait spoons made less ordinary with scrapbook paper. I have always wanted to try one of these spoon reflection shots and thought this weeks theme might work.

This is from my Europe trip in November last year. Walking in London is fun, even in the rain. We walked for many Kilometers. At one point we passed Trafalgar Square at night. Rain just passed, which created an opportunity for this reflection shot. I love the symmetry reflections give.

Flowering trees and a nice reflections photographed at Yakima Area Arboretum. Stitched 5 photos to make this panorama. I found many subjects to photograph yesterday afternoon (March 19). I spent a long time photographing a heron that never did fly even though I was within 50 feet or closer. That is unusual. Even the turtles did not slide into the water off the logs. The flowering cherry and plum trees are blooming as can be seen in this photo. I might have to do this over again when there are more of the trees being reflected in the pond. I'm not sure if there is a better time for reflection shots here.

It's been a year of reflection shots and spiral staircases, but there's always been one on my list that I've never gotten around to until today. This is the staircase at Bevin Court, a block of flats near Kings Cross station in London. The flats are split into three wings that meet at a central hub where this staircase connects all the floors.
I've started to put together a map of spiral staircases in London. If you look at this Google Map you can see the one's I'm aware of. If you've got any that you know of that aren't on the map and you like them added then send me a Flickr mail with the details and I'll add it.
Llyn Cwm-y-ffynnon in Snowdonia. Loads of midges and really wet but brilliant location for mountain reflection shots.
Single exposure, real reflection, minor Lightroom adjustments, no content adds/deletes/overlays/swaps, no Photoshop. I prefer the time outdoors shooting, and not to spend more than about 5 minutes computer/post-processing time per photo, so as much as possible has to be optimized in-camera!
You can always revisit the file to rework the edit, but you can't re-take the image once you're home. Get it right the first time; the best moments and their conditions will never be repeated again!
All of my workshops this summer will include some night shooting/instruction, so drop by my Web site www.JeffSullivanPhotography.com to see if you can join me to efficiently produce unique work with me in unique settings! Milky Way shots are a dime a dozen these days, you can capture those with sub-optimal technique.
Milky Way reflection shots, without resorting to faking the reflection, take a bit more attention to technique. Will you want to move on to other astrophotography subjects: comets, meteor showers... if so, make sure you sure you choose a workshop leader who pursues a LOT of them! www.flickr.com/photos/jeffreysullivan/albums/721576319588...
May the fourth be with you!
really exaggerated colors and shadows... kind of looks cool. This is the Teton range looking at Mt Moran in the center. Spent 3 weeks traveling between Colorado and British Columbia, and tried for a reflection shot the entire trip. This was the morning of the last day on the way home. Not perfect, but I'll take it!
After weeks of monsoon rain, this morning looked cloudy, but the sun was out! Clouds after long periods of rain usually mean no haze, so it seemed a good opportunity to get some reflection shots from the shores of Songkhla Lake - a lagoon bigger than Singapore!
Blustery wind didn't help my cycle, nor did it bode well for reflections. Either way I was committed now, and sure enough the water was not only stacked up in waves, but also the colour of Thai iced-tea (a shade of reddish-brown). Undeterred, I focused instead on the clouds themselves.
These four photos - for me - represent the cream of this morning's shoot.
