IMGL2945nikfilthpwm Upside down reflection shot taken at the TWharf on Little Lake in Peterborough Ontario.
A superb night exploring the cliffs to the west of Southerndown beach. There were too many surfers for my reflection shots, so I went rock hopping instead, and tried a few long exposures. Lost and found is another Alabama 3 track, and this is an area I don't get to too often, so Lost and found is fine. It turned into an amazing night.
Had an idea for an abstract reflection shot yesterday but it just didn't look right so moved back a bit try to show more of the image and liked all the different lines and how they work together. I liked how the DoF and reflected lines almost seem to give the fork a 'ghost' effect in the background (unless you see fingernails in the fork tips, then it gets a bit scary!)
Macro shots with cutlery are fairly commonplace on flickr so its my cliché too! HCS

I'm so happy to be able to participate in and contribute to the upcoming centennial celebration of the historic iconic Moulton barns of Jackson Hole's days of yesteryear, one that's forever established as part of Wyoming's old west. What will the celebration include you ask ? Well, for one, the Moulton family will be gathering in Grand Teton National Park. There will be an art show where many will have their photographs taken over the years displayed and auction in an effort to raise additional funds to help restore these priceless, historic barns.
Will you be in Jackson Hole for the centennial celebration of the Moulton Barns this July? Do you you have photos you'd like to have entered into the art show dedicated to this celebration ? Should you submit a photo print, canvas print, etc., according to my Moulton Barn facebook contact, it does not have to be just of the Moulton Barns; it can be any photo taken throughout Jackson Hole, WY.
I'll be there and you be able to see my submissions ... hope to see yours there too. For further information on the art show and the centennial celebration just click on one of these links: Art Show || Moulton Barns Centennial Celebration Info

Location, location, location. Jackson Hole is a photographer's dream come true. This site offers so many different excellent comps of Mt Moran over 100 yards or so, all with interesting foreground objects.
I will be taking those joining me for my two 3 day Jackson Hole spring photo shoot adventures to this alternate beaver dam site ... who knows, you just my see a moose or grizzly here. Oh, don't forget to bring your river shoes ... or booties as I've seen some called so you can ease into the stream for some excellent reflection shots here.
Time to chill out to Dark Matter's song ... Together featuring Cathy Burton.

Thanks for stopping by.
Always wanted to get a matching reflections shot of winter. Got perfect weather this morning for it.
4020 307 took us by surprise as we expected a freight in the opposite direction so a quick crouch in the gutter and a grab reflection shot as it rumbles over Handelskai was the order of the day.
A very patriotic reflection! Shot with a Hasselblad Chrome C 150mm f/4 lens using an Araxfoto tilt adapter.
More photos from time spent in the wetlands lying on my stomach in the mud!! This male American Avocet was strutting his stuff around for his lovely mate and it was still enough that I was hoping to get some decent reflection shots. These birds are truly elegant and priceless to watch during the mating season. Plumage changes to a grey colour by the time they leave in the fall but no less striking of a bird as the delicateness is increased with the colour.
Grand Teton reflections, shot around 10" above the water surface. A passerby saw me kneeling down in the middle of the stream and asked, "What on earth are you photographing?" :-)
boarding was already announced when i noticed him. calm. concentrated. playing the piano in the departure hall as if it were a stage. the sound didn’t drift — it stayed close. i showed him the camera. he nodded once. i photographed him with the gfx100rf. he kept playing. later he told me his name was leo. and wished me a good flight.

Those of you who follow my photostream know that I'm a big fan of mountain lake reflection shots....and here's one of the reasons I return to Banff National Park again and again.
This is the Vermilion Lakes area just outside of the city of Banff and it has reflection shots looking both east and south. Couple that with another eight locales that have water reflection shots and I'm guessing Banff National Park is one of the premier reflection locales in the world...
Yesterday morning I took an early visit to The Barbican here in Plymouth. It's been absolutely months since I last took photos of Plymouth, mostly because before I passed my driving test last year it was the only place I ever took photos of and it got boring. Since then I've been exploring as many other places as possible and neglected my home city a bit.
The weather report for yesterday said clear skies and hardly any wind so I knew it would be an ideal place to go,The Barbican is great for reflection shots when the water is still.
Unfortunately the sunrise wasn't the best so to make this a bit more interesting I've used my artistic license and added a bit of split toning to the shot to give it more colour.
A bit of minimalism from Tuesday evening at the Liskeard Camera Club photowalk in Looe. Unfortunately I’d not planned this evening very well as it was low-tide right around sunset which did mean that reflection shots in the river were harder than usual, but I did like the colours out to sea at the end of the evening.
All set up for a reflection shot as the Red Devil was leaving Ashton for Worcester with its cement train on the former New Cape Central Railway. As the train approached the local ducks chose to jump into the still waters and set off for a circuit of the pond. I shall comfort myself by saying that it wasn't quite still enough anyway. Would have been liked to be lower down closer to the water but the bank was too steep.
Two more from yesterday - especially for Eddie for different reasons.
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.
An elderly couple at the train station trying to decipher the fine print of the arrival schedule. Ostensibly a play on reflection, shots like these also tell a story - here, probably two grandparents about to welcome their children or grandchildren later on :-)
A busy little Autumn reflection shot.. I have so many pics from a photo expedition in October, I can't help revisiting them.
In August last year 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 over the pond 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.

The sun is far below the horizon, the light is fading fast, and the blanket of darkness has almost covered the land. However, the railroad never stops, and a flanger makes its rounds under the cover of dark. Even though no storms have been through in the last week, the snow crews have to be kept busy somehow.
Only about an hour before, my friend and I had finished following an SP leader from Auburn to Reno. By the time we left Reno, the sun was already behind the mountains. Trying to make it back home in good time, we raced over the mountain. Approaching the summit, I was driving when out of the corner of my eye I saw a small splash of bright orange near Shed 47. I looked over to see what I thought was possibly a westbound stack train, but since I was driving I did not want to take my eyes off the road for more than a few seconds. My friend looked over, and that's when he said it was a flanger. Seeing it come into a small opening, it was indeed a flanger. We decided that despite it being almost dark we would attempt some shots.
I got off the highway and raced over the summit on the old highway alignment. My goal was to get it coming out of Big Hole, but after driving for a minute I realized we probably would not make it. Due to this, I went right by the turn to get there and went straight to Norden. Getting for the road, we went to set up for a shot. Almost as soon as we got out of the car we heard the train blowing for the crossing at Big Hole. Half a minute later, the train would come around the corner. My shot unfortunately was not that great, but my friend had gotten a very good shot. I noticed it was slowing down, almost to a stop, and quickly realized that they were crossing over. Racing down the road to Soda Springs, we waited for only a couple minutes before the train came flying out from behind the trees. Setting up for a reflection shot, I managed to pull off a decent photo. With many surprises all day, this was a great way to close the day.
At the beach, sunrise with perfectly still water reflection.
Shot taken with Nikon DSLR and prosumer lens AF-S 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 G.
Currently Nikon mirrorless Z does not have a set of good prosumer range zooms such as AF-S 18-35mm f3.5-4.5 G ($750 at launch vs Z 14-30mm S $1,345, this Z lens is bad at the wide end, it’s essentially a 17-30mm zoom), AF-S 24-85mm f3.5-4.5 G VR ($600 at launch vs Z 24-70mm f4 S $997) and AF-P 70-300mm f4.5-5.6E VR ($700 at launch), it appears that Nikon is no longer interested in catering to the prosumer segment.
Nikon shills' constant promotion of failure prone China made lens adapters is a clear indication of this dilemma. Nikon Z lens options are limited, exacerbated by Nikon limiting their Z mount against 3rd party lens makers.
In addition, Nikon mirrorless Z after so many years has yet to solve their power management/battery and AF issues with non-stacked sensors. Contrast this with Canon which launched mirrorless at the same time, Canon pretty much has very good AF by 2nd Gen in their EOS R5 and R6 and battery life is better than Nikon.
Canon is already well on their way with 3rd Gen iterations with the EOS R6ii and the soon to be released R5ii (1st gen being EOS Rp & EOS R) but there’s nothing yet from Nikon on Z6iii/Z7iii although Nikon perhaps can’t be faulted here as they focused on the more important Z8.
The Nikon Z6 was launched in Nov 2018 and Z6ii in Nov 2020 with the Z7/Z7ii typically launched a couple of months earlier. This 2 year interval is the norm these days although the pandemic and ensuing supply chain problems caused delay but even so, we are unlikely to see a Z6iii/Z7iii until 2024, 4 years after their predecessors. Hopefully this delay buys Nikon time to fix both their battery life and AF issues, if they do indeed fix them by then.
Meanwhile Sony has just released their FE 70-200mm f4.0 Macro G OSS ii with 0.5x magnification throughout its zoom range and it’s capable of full 1:1 magnification throughout its zoom range when attached with 2x TC. The new lens is 15% smaller and lighter than its predecessor with 4 XD “high thrust” linear motors enabling 20% improvement in AF speed and almost twice the tracking performance of the preceding 1st gen lens according to Sony.
Herein lies Nikon Z’s biggest weakness, their lack of lens options and innovation plus AF and tracking that is noticeably behind the competitors.
Update Aug 2023
================
The newly released Nikon Z8 has already seen 2 service recalls, 1st for lens mount that fails to lock on the lens being mounted and the 2nd for strap lugs that can detach from the camera body. Both are low tech basic parts but can result in the mounted lens dropping to the ground or both body and mounted lens dropping in the case of strap lugs failure.
It's best to hold off buying the Z8 for a while especially when the straps lug failure could point to a design flaw. For the Nikon fanbois shills who claimed that they aren't affected since they don't use strap lugs, the issue will raise its head when they try to sell off their cameras as buyers of this camera are typically not casual users.

The driving car 51941 of Class 108 DMU waits for the road at Highley with the 1440 to Kidderminster.
This multiple unit looked great and inspired me to try a well worn creative technique of getting down low for a puddle reflection shot.
Luckily the platform was wet and i got damp patches on my knees.
This time of year the Merced River is flowing slowly and reflection shots are wonderful. I couldn't pass up this section of the river by El Cap. This is one of my favorite shots from this shoot. Press L for a full view.
Can't help but think of Deb Lattimore, the queen of water reflection shots, with this shot. www.flickr.com/photos/oceanbornstudios/sets/286924/ But not as interesting.
Headed to San Diego for the weekend. My parents are celebrating their 53rd wedding anniversary which in my mind is an amazing feat. My Dad has a joke...we've been married for 25 happy years....25 out of 53 ain't bad.
Even though this photo was taken in SF it reminds me of San Diego with its harbor and sun. Have a good weekend everyone!
It was a damp scene for Perseids last night—growing dew on lenses with inbound clouds while capturing this view. Set up with friends down at one of the Lake Mary parking lots, looking for reflection shots. Lots of spotlights flicking around the lake & cars peeling out nearby. Finally moved up to Anderson Mesa to escape all that and got some more shots up there before an incredibly dense fog swamped us.
Thirteen Perseids show up in this stack (0500–0630Z). Trails have been aligned to the star field they fell against. Brightest fireballs of course streaked out of frame all night:)

Canon 6D Mark II + EF 16-35mm f/2.8 III USM at 16mm, ISO 6400, 6 seconds x 19.
Seven frames stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker to reduce noise for star field & foreground. Twelve frames of Perseids realigned to the star field they crossed, revealing the anti-radiant.
Reflections on Long Lake, Wrangell Saint Elias National Park, south central Alaska. Yet another reflections shot from another lake in Alaska... I have a lot of them, so will try to stagger these out over the next few months as I revisit Alaska and post other things. ;-) Happy Wednesday, and thanks for the visits and comments!
Another weekend, another trip to the Uinta mountains to escape the heat. This time we went to Christmas Meadows, a place that has become extremely popular in recent years with campers and hikers. Also popular this year, the swarms of mosquitos out to get our blood! We had one clearish night with calm water along the river bends, we setup and got some good reflection shots before more thing clouds moved in and made the sky a bit too hazy to shoot. Lots of cabins and campfires along the river, provided some interesting lights long the hillside. All in all another fun trip!
8 exposures went into this image, all shot with a Nikon Z7 and Sigma Art 40mm on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer mini tracking mount. Sky exposures are 1.5 minutes at ISO 800 and f1.8, foreground exposures are 1.5 minutes at ISO 800 and f1.4, water exposures are 45 seconds at ISO 3200 and f1.4.
Gurudongmar Lake one of the highest lakes in the world situated at 17100 feet above sea level in Sikkim, India in the north eastern part of India. This was shot during my 2009 trip to the lake. It was an out of the world experience to travel to this part of the world where there is no vegetation, air thinner than one can breathe in, snow, and inhospitable terrain with unpredictable weather as common in all high altitude places, but irrespective of all the hazards the view was breathtaking. The blueness is natural and preserved to give the original feel to the picture.
A strong wind made any reflection shots impossible so had to step back and look at the bigger picture. Worth a scroll around at full size .. www.flickr.com/photos/74593159@N05/38393611101/sizes/o/
still waters at McHenry Dam offered me the perfect opportunity ot capture some really awesome reflection shots..even the skies and clouds seemed to cooperate that day with some cool puffy cloud formations...i guess i got lucky that day!!!! pls.View On Black
