Wishing all a very happy 2016 with one of my favourite shots of 2015. I have waited several years for there to be enough rainwater in this natural woodland pool combined with good light to get a decent reflection shot. Thankfully the squirrel eventually played it's part.
I never did the reflection shot during the challenge because we were away and so busy at that time. I finally did one yesterday and with a little help from Deep Dream Generator I kind of like it. I put the a mirror on the floor and just waited for Minty to explore. She didn't disappoint me.
seven dials, london;
it was my first attempt to take the reflection shot under the heavy rain with my umbrella covering my camera ;-)
9/6/2021 - A Quartet of GECX Dash 8's sit on the NS/GE Interchange awaiting pickup. They were originally going to the Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad, but now I believe they are going somewhere else now. The last one or the 4 was the C&O Sticker for CSX. Managed to get somewhat of a decent reflection shot. Wish the puddle was bigger lol
More cliche'd reflection shots - such beautiful reflections and colours in still waters - a photo freak like myself just couldn't help it..puddles in london are never this big..or colourful.
Mountains on the South Side of Port Valdez taken from the duck flats that provided a pond for a reflection shot.
This Semi was foraging all alone on the flats when I took this reflection shot. The light was a little strong late in the morning but I like the comp on this one.

Before spring break ended, I wanted to get some TCW shots, so yesterday I went down to shoot the Ruebel turn. The lighting wasn't the best, so I did video for the most part, but I did get a couple stills. Here between Bird Island and Hector, I found some water in a ditch to get a reflection shot, the train sounds good pounding on the jointed rail.
This is from yesterdays snow shoot~I drive by this beauty often and have always thought about snapping a photo. It was especially pretty with the snow dollops adorning my favorite part of the car. Only 200 days to go, almost half way, it's a long, long haul, so a reflection shot here and there is a relief!!
Decided to go up to Silver Lake near Brighton, Utah and retake a shot I had done last year at this same spot (now that I kinda have a handle on this whole Milky Way photography thing). I only had 30 minutes to take sky shots once it got dark before the moon came up so I couldn't get the whole arch in frame, it's getting late in the Milky Way season which makes the big sweeping arch pano's difficult to get done.
This is a tough place to shoot the Milky Way, lots and lots of people with flashlights/cars/annoyances make it challenging to get clean shots without being apparent. Plus this is a bortle 6 zone with LOTS of light pollution, Salt Lake/Ogden is to the far left, Provo/Orem is to the far right, Park City is in the middle on the other side of the Mountain and Heber is below the core in this shot. Makes for very uneven illumination across the sky and color balance is extremely difficult.
While I was taking one of the foreground shots the slowest meteor I've ever seen zipped down to the horizon. It was so slow I could even clearly see it rotating as it burned up. I stopped my exposure 30 seconds short to make sure I got it, luckily I did both in the sky AND the reflection! I had to work that back into the image since it was lost during the stitching.
Altogether this is 12 shots, 5 for the sky, 5 for the foreground, and 2 extra reflection shots. Each taken with my Nikon D600 and Rokinon 24mm f1.4 lens on my Star Adventurer tracking mount. Sky/reflection shots are 2.5 minute exposures at ISO 400 and f2.5. Foreground shots are 2 minute exposures at ISO 800 and f2.5.
After flying across country and driving almost two hours, the last thing I wanted to see was Mount Rainier totally socked in. I did a little hiking before I called it a day, and I was hoping that the next morning would be clear with some nice cumulous clouds. After rising before sunrise, I headed out to catch a sunrise reflection in the aptly named Reflection Lake. The mountain was in full view, but as I started down the road into the valley, this is what waited for me. Fog and lots of it. Don't get me wrong, I really like fog, but not too much of it. It sets a great mood to most photos. I stopped along the way to get this shot of the surrounding mountaintops just peeking above the fog. I wasn't going to get that reflection shot of Rainier this morning, but did manage to get it the next day.
This calm morning view finds fisherman and ducks sharing a foggy Trillium Lake. However, being here in person, this is not the photo you'd necessarily expect from this location. Trillium Lake offers a wonderful view of Mt.Hood, and as I made the 1 hour drive out there I had visions dancing in my head of a wonderful reflection shot of the mountain in calm waters. The mountain and its reflection are out of sight in this tighter composition. This is due to the fact that the lighting really wasn't in my favor that morning. The cloudless sky was washed out, and a few feeble attempts in Photoshop showed me that nothing was going to save it in post either. Besides, the boat and ducks in the water were creating ripples that was really killing the reflection.
Not these waters......it was nice and calm close to sunset and was really pretty.
One of the reflection shots I got at the marina while staying at Patagonia Lake State

Today the archives take me back to last summer to a beautiful blue bird day up at mount Rainier. I had the pleasure of taking Tosin AKA TIA International Photography up to the park for his first visit. We kinda got skunked on the atmospherics, but it was a beautiful day to be out in nature for a hike. We saw a couple bears up on the high ridges and lots of great scenery. This is a view of Rainier from the spray park area, full of flowers and tiny little pools that make for beautiful reflection shots, here is one
Nice reflection shot of a spotted redshank with a Common Sandpiper in the frame.
Thanks to Steve Ray who id'd it as a SpottedRedshank
Apologies for another Reflection shot. But not much happening on the Wildlife front and so little wind nothing else to photograph
This image is another shot from the Lot Valley in central France. The Hamlet of Larganol is out the edge of the River Lot I often had to drive past it on the way to the shops at Cajarc. I noticed on this particular morning the conditions were just right for a reflection shot. For once I can say I am pretty satisfied with how this photograph worked out.
Last post from me for a few days, we are making a short visit to Cambridge next week. Mary’s cousin is doing her degree at the University there and we thought she deserved taking out to dinner. I have not been to Cambridge for twenty years so it will be good to see the town again. Catch up with you all later in the week.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.

As I mentioned yesterday... when I was coming down from a scramble up a peak the light started to get a nice glow to it as a chinook arch was forming in the north. I started heading to a spot I knew I wanted to get shots from... the spot I posted yesterday... but on the way I spotted what I thought would make a nice reflection shot.
The unique aspect of this spot is that Cameron Creek... which was also the subject of yesterday's shots... and many that I have posted on Flickr.... virtually disappears at this time of year. For almost about three quarters of a mile or so the flow just seems to be soaked up by the river bed and goes dry for about three quarters of a mile before emerging out of the "sponge" to become a river again. At most other times of the year it is not noticeable as the flows are high enough that the river bed contains a river instead of dry rock.
This is a small portion of the river that does not get absorbed in that three quarter mile stretch. It has never been explained to me why the creek disappears at this juncture... but my guess it has to do with "Oil City".
Oil City was to be the city that was built around the first oil well in Western Canada which was on Cameron Creek about a mile from this spot. The well ran dry fairly quickly at the beginning of the century and the dreams of "Oil City" went dry with it. Now all that remains are small parts of the foundation of the original hotel that was built and a historical part of the well itself.
To get this shot... I again resorted to a long exposure as the wind was fairly strong and the water needed to be "smoothed" with a long exposure to reveal the detail and the reflection... despite not having great detail in the reflection.
f16, 10 sec, at ISO 100. Nikon Circular Polarizer II and a Hoya 8X ND filter was used.
A shoot down at the beach rock jetties with Cliff offered up a cool reflection shot as he focused on shore birds, and I was farther back on the sand...just one of those moments when a composition comes together!
Have a great, safe, fun weekend, everyone!
Was hoping for a good reflection shot but it was a bit breezy... but that's okay. That breeze was scrubbing away the remaining clouds as COB empties roll west.
I can't remember the last time I saw the meadows around Kings Sutton free of water! - it would certainly be 2023. Particularly heavy rain this week has made the water deeper than ever, so I took advantage of some still conditions to try some reflection shots. This is Chiltern's 68012 crossing the new 'Lake Cherwell' with 1H41, 11:45 Birmingham Moor Street - London Marylebone. I walked as far as I dared with the water close to the top of my wellies - then I had to stand very still for a few minutes ahead of the train passing, as even the slightest movement created ripples.
Can a really nice Milky Way reflection shot be captured facing the light pollution of California's Central Valley? Sometimes, but under what circumstances? Using which techniques for capture and post-processing? The only way to find out is to try different techniques, over the course of many nights, with various atmospheric conditions (haze/smog, airglow, clouds, light painting, etc.).
I had a wander down to Triggs Lock in my lunch hour to take a few reflections shots of the lock keepers cottage the lock itself having recently been dredged.

If you've gotta spend all day in the rain at Disneyland, the payoff better be some nice reflection shots at night! Fortunately, in this case, the rain did finally break right around dusk. The bad part was that the park closed really early because of the cast member party. This one was taken right after The Magic, The Memories, and You!, so the rope was still up holding back the guests.
And, of course, how could I not mention the holiday overlay again. It is absolutely amazing, and something that should be seen in person!

I went to a park in Newark, located in the San Francisco Bay of California, to take photos of the Super Blue Moon. After the moon rose from behind Mission Peak I took this reflection shot at the park.
I processed a balanced, a photographic, and a paintery HDR photo three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

South Tufa beach at Mono Lake has always been a tourist attraction. People flock there to see the tufa formations and to marvel at the alkaline lake. While I find the lake fascinating and the wildlife fascinating, the main attraction that held my interest has always been the mountain surrounding the lake and epic sunsets and sunrises that always guaranteed at this location. The reason for the spectacular sky is the nearby Tioga pass, that causes the wind to whip the clouds around. So, whenever we pass through the area, I always make it a point to stop by for either or a sunset or sunrise.
The usual sunrise shoot involves a good bit of planning but with Mono lake, the tufa formations and lake often provide interesting framing options. And the mountains surrounding the lake provide a canvas for the sun to light up. Usually, the lakes are at their calmest in the morning, but I have never seen calmness in the water here. The pass often has strong winds and early morning is no exception to that rule. Since a reflection shot was out of question, I tried to compose a simple shot of the mountains and the morning sky with the tufa formations and the choppy lake as the foreground interest.
Typically, on this holiday, never had the right lens at the right time! Used the 24-105 (the 150-500 was back on the ship!). The bird was around for a long time. Opportunity for good reflection shots as well as in flight. Try again sometime!

Since my first visit to Thailand back in 2002 it was very noticeable how many new skyscrapers there were in Bangkok. Whereas before a few stood out now the skyline is full of highrise buildings. Consequently there were plenty of reflection shots like this to be taken.
Click here to see more photos from my trip to Bangkok and Krabi last Summer : www.flickr.com/photos/darrellg/albums/72157687709552266
From Wikipedia : "While most of Bangkok's streets are fronted by vernacular shophouses, the largely unrestricted building frenzy of the 1980s has transformed the city into an urban jungle of skyscrapers and high rises exhibiting contrasting and clashing styles. There are 581 skyscrapers over 90 metres (300 feet) tall in the city. Bangkok was ranked as the world's 8th tallest city in 2016."

I finally edited my last shot from the two nights I spent shooting pictures up at Mt. Rainier in early September. I was tired and eager to hike out and drive home but since the lake was still I couldn't resist getting one last reflection shot. This is a single 40 minute exposure with only star light. It got windy again about halfway through but I kind of like the effect it had on the reflection.
Stanley Locks on the Liverpool to Leeds Canal as a Merseyrail unit heads north.
Follow the towpath to the arch of the bridge, and in the distance is the Victoria Tower, designed by Jesse Harley and built in 1847/8 ,to commemorate the opening of Salisbury Dock.Upon completion it housed a flat used by the Piermaster. The corner of the building seen through the centre arch is the former tobacco warehouse. Out of sight to the right is the new Everton Football
ground under construction. Terry attempts a reflection shot which , hopefully will appear later !!
The second shot put together from my trip to Moosehorn Lake, this time from the end of the lake looking towards the Milky Way. This time 16 shots total, 9 for the sky and 7 for the land (no reflection shots because the breeze picked up and made the water choppy). Each shot is a 3.5 minute exposure at ISO 400 (sky) or 800 (land) and f2.
This was a tough one to color balance properly because the airglow was so intense.

I was attempting to get some reflection shots of this water vole, by pure chance, managed to get him eating a dragonfly. Later it was discovered the dragonfly was providing a Raft Spider with its lunch. This shot can be found on the RSPB's blog via the following link:

Patagonia Photo Adventure 2015 wouldn't be complete without one of my signature reflection shots featuring cuernos of Torres del Paine. No matter how many times you go to that location...and oh boy many went there this year, you can still be pleasantly surprised. This particular photo was taken during the photo workshops that I was leading there in April. We visited and hiked to many popular as well as quite a few less known spots. All participants had a chance to see Patagonia and capture some incredible light moments. With this photo I'd like to officially invite all that are interested in visiting Patagonia to join me in my Patagonia Photo Adventure 2016.
The tour details will be ready shortly. The 2016 Patagonia workshops will tour in classic as well as completely new spots that I found this year. If you are interested, please email me for PDF: arturstanisz@gmail.com
