Another of the series of photographs I took on our last night in Sedona. I had done some inquiries in town as to the best location for sunset reflection shots of Cathedral Rock, and was told that this was the place. This is probably the most popular and photographed scene from Sedona, and I felt that it was a kind of pilgrimage to go there, and stand with the other tripod carrying photographers. At this time of year there wasn't that much water in Oak Creek, and it was somewhat difficult to find enough for a decent reflection. I've posted two HDR images from this location, but this is from one single image.

Next in line for the application of fleet livery at White Bus was 73 YX70OHU, one of six newly-delivered ADL Enviro200 MMC buses.
Credit goes to Lewis Nagle for spotting the reflection shots - thanks Lewis!!
Following up on yesterday's reflection shot here's another from that same day. Palm trees are always associated with warm sunny weather but the water that makes them grow has to come from somewhere, right? And just cause you're on vacation doesn't mean it's always going to be 'perfect'. When I look back on life some of my best memories are from times when it was stormy weather and this day back in 2008 is no exception.
Shadow and reflection.

The reflection in Kesia's sunglasses was SO strong and striking, something about this scene I had to capture. I took several shots of Kesia up close, and everyone was right there. So credit goes to Kesia here for the good modeling. To get a great sunglass reflection shot you really have to stick your camera in someone's face; so I'm very thankful to Kesia for ability as a model to put up with my camera in her face. Thanks Kesia, I love these shots!
This was the first evening we had seen Aurora in Norway from the ground. Good old Andy spotted the first green splodges in the sky above our house thing, and we scrambled out the door in a complete panic. Above our heads flowed a giant stream of green, and took my breath away. Partly because of the sub zero temperatures and partly because I have just never seen anything like it. I took a few shots and then we drove to the hills to check this out from a better vantage point.
Despite a quick panic about Diesel levels :) we found a nice moonlit spot and watched as the Aurora danced around the hills. Having worn three layers of trousers and giant thermal wear the entire trip, I somehow managed to forget just how useful they are when it is -8 and breezy! i like my cords, but they 'aint much good in Northern Norway. I was on such a buzz i didn't care and found the movement of the lights to be totally entrancing. We later went to a Fjord for more reflection shots and then back home for the last of the Aurora over our local Fjord. What a day! After all that waiting, this was worth the hanging on. The next day we saw what I last posted. Thought I would try to change it up a bit.
Thanks for looking.
24mm, tripod.
When it started raining the main shot I was really thinking of and hoping for was a full reflection shot of Spaceship Earth. Therefore I was very happy when I found several puddles in front of Spaceship Earth that would let me get the shot I wanted. The previous shot I posted with the nearly full Spaceship Earth reflection and monorail was technically more difficult but there's something about the simplicity of this reflection shot that draws me to it more. I ultimately really like both shots but if I had to choose one to put in a portfolio I think this is the one I'd choose.
This was shot with the Nikon D810 and Nikon 14-24 2.8. It was a 5 shot bracket blended in Photomatix. I did do something slightly different for the setup of this shot however. I initially tried a frame with the camera laying in the water and the lens resting on the ground. This pointed the camera more towards the ground and while the shot wasn't bad I thought it could be a bit better. I ended up taking a small canister of lip Vaseline I carry with me and resting the lens on the front of this. This lifted the lens about 1/2 an inch and though this might not seem like much it got rid of the down shooting look that I was getting without it. Another slightly unique twist on this shot came with the editing. Often when I color balance I will color balance the sky and foreground separately. In this case I did a slight twist on that by color balancing the sky but then only color balancing part of the foreground. I excluded all of Spaceship Earth, trees, and Leave a Legacy including their reflections color balancing just the ground surrounding them to match the sky color balance.

I have visited Marshall Point Lighthouse a few times, but I had never shot it at sunrise or sunset. I always wanted to, but my visits in the past were on family vacations with non-photographers. On our Maine Photo Tour, I resolved that I would shoot at both times, as I thought that the light would be great (I wasn't wrong). Every time I have visited this light, I have never seen it with the tide in (I still haven't). I would like to some day, but, with the tide fully out on this evening, we were able to scramble on the rocks to get some unique views of the lighthouse. Not only that, there were some great puddles left by the tide that enabled us to get some terrific reflection shots. This is one of the puddles that my buddy Rad Alzyoud found. Not only did it give us a great reflection, it also gave us an extremely unique composition, one that I had never seen before. I think it is only possible when the tide is fully out.

I visited this spot for two days in a row during my last trip in the Dolomites: the first one, I was just passing by and I stopped there just for a few minutes.. Worst mistake ever! The lake was full of tourists and those little boats were literally everywhere, making every attempt to take a couple of shots impossible. I was determined to not make here neither sunrise or sunset, the spot doesn’t attract me that much to spend there the best moments of the day, but I had a few shots to try in my mind and I wasn’t going anywhere without them! The day after, while it was snowing on the mountain passes, it was raining hard down by the lake and I decided to return there; there were only five people (me included) and I was the only italian.. There wasn’t neither the parking man!
But another problem appeared: if the day before there were the little boats to move the water, today there was the rain that with its little drops was making impossible to take a good reflection shot. I solved the problem simply by waiting; I had a lot of spare time since I didn’t have any other locations to visit ‘till sunset, so I sat on a rock (big, big mistake! My butt was frozen after a few minutes) and start to wait.. After a while, the rain stopped for a moment and finally I managed to shot the landscape I was there for!

Già il giorno precedente, visto che ero di strada, avevo fatto un salto al lago di Braies: non l'avessi mai fatto, orde di turisti e barchette in ogni dove spopolavano il lago, rendendo ogni tentativo di far due foto impensabile. Non volevo far ne alba ne tramonto qui, il posto non mi attrae così tanto da spenderci i momenti migliori della giornata, ma volevo comunque provare qualche inquadratura in santa pace; il giorno dopo, mentre nevicava sui passi, più in basso pioveva di gusto, così decido di tornarci. Eravamo in 5 in tutto il lago, ed ero l'unico italiano.. Non c'era neanche il parcheggiatore! Se il giorno prima c'erano le barchette a muovere l'acqua e rompere le balle, oggi c'era la pioggia che non mi dava pace e non faceva comparire i fantastici riflessi nelle acque del lago, ma visto che avevo parecchio tempo, mi siedo su un sasso (pessima, pessima scelta, avevo il sedere di marmo dopo 5 minuti!) ed aspetto.. Dopo un po' la pioggia si calma ed a tratti smette, lasciando apparire il paesaggio per cui ero venuto!
Alvéola-cinzenta | Motacilla cinerea | Grey wagtail
Não sei se concordam comigo mas acho esta alvéola muito parecida com um golfinho... ;-)
Em boa verdade já tinha conseguido este tipo de foto em reflexo (com a ave para o lado esquerdo)

mas hoje e como este "amiguinho" continua a ser uma presença relativamente assídua, aqui fica uma outra a mover-se para o lado contrário.
I'm not sure if you agree but I find this species very resemblant to a dolphin... ;-)
Same kind here of a reflection shot taken two months ago with the bird moving to the left hand side

but this time to the opposite side, obviously.

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
Park.
Looks nice when you View On Black
Coming back from Subway (which I always treat myself to on Fridays, which means I get the same six-inch tuna sandwich for $3.50) I noticed this reflection of the Omni Hotel and another building on the side of the California Plaza building, which opened sometime in late 1985. I haven't done many reflection shots, not in a long time. This one seemed to work for me.
It was still raining at that time when I took the water reflection shot. This view has become the classic spot to see the city with these lights at Pier 7. ❤️SF
Thanks for looking!
Stay safe.

A calm stretch of water provided a number of good reflection shots of waterfowl that drifted through. This Pacific Black Duck was the last of the series.
The Autumn Colors Express arrived in Huntington a few days early to allow crews to train, service, and stock the the equipment before excursion trips to Hinton on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Here's a view of the train at dawn on Thursday, October 24. Some fortunately placed puddles allowed numerous opportunities for the low/wide reflection shots I groove on.
The team at Railexco and Amtrak worked together to assemble a solid set of power, with Amtrak 822 (Phase III heritage unit), 500 (class unit of of the B32-8WH in Phase V), and 184 (Phase IV heritage unit) - not too shabby!
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.
Had a walk out to the beach @ Titchwell just over an hour after high tide. Beach was still wet & this Sanderling came exploring away from the tide line, enabling some reflection shots. He looked at everything but I liked him investigating the Mussel shell. Winter visitors to our shores as they breed in high Arctic area
I have lots and lots of GBH pictures, but when you can get a good reflection shot like this its hard to pass up.
Panorama of the Milky Way arch, Stonewall Peak, and a meadow near the Stonewall Mine site in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park. Shot on July 14, 2021. Foreground is gently illuminated by a setting crescent moon (out of frame).
I think this is my own personal favorite of all my panoramic photos. I'm finally satisfied with how well I got the images to nearly seamlessly stitch together here. This was made from 12 vertical frames shot at 15 sec f/2.8 ISO 3200 15mm with a Canon EOS R and Canon 15-35mm RF lens. I originally headed to the area to shoot a reflection shot of the Milky Way over nearby Lake Cuyamaca, but the water was too choppy for that. Oftentimes in landscape photography, one has to be prepared to change plans when the weather doesn't cooperate.
Cuyamaca Rancho State Park is a state park in California, USA, located 40 miles (64 km) east of San Diego in the Laguna Mountains of the Peninsular Ranges. The park's 26,000 acres (11,000 ha) feature pine, fir, and oak forests, with meadows and streams that exist due to the relatively high elevation of the area compared to its surroundings. The park includes 6,512-foot (1,985 m) Cuyamaca Peak, the second-highest point in San Diego County.
The name "Cuyamaca" is a Spanish version of the name the native Kumeyaay peoples used for this place. In water-short Southern California, the Indians called the area Ah-Ha Kwe-Ah Mac, meaning "the place where it rains." This is an appropriate name as while it generally doesn't rain in much of San Diego County during the summer (generally only in the winter), it's not unusual to experience rain here year-round.
John and I do a Snowy Plover survey here for San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory. The following pictures will give you an idea of the look of the place, including wildflowers, habitat and water reflection shots, AND ... Snowy Plovers!
It had been cloudy and rainy all morning, but at this time the clouds broke up enough to let some sunshine through. It was too windy for a good reflection shot off of the lake, but I could not pass up on this beaver mound in front of an impressive mountain.
This photo was taken at the end of quite the unusual weather day. When we headed south out of Moab, it began to snow. Yes, it does snow in the desert. The longer we drove, the harder it snowed. For this photographer that lives in New England, the sight of snow is not a happy event, especially near the end of winter. For a number of the other tour participants that live in much warmer climates, it was a joyful event to experience. By the time we got to our destination, the snow had stopped, and we were able to get some great shots with a thin blanket of snow (okay, I am glad it snowed). On our way back to Moab, the wind and temperature began to rise and was turning the day into what one would expect in Moab in March. By the time we got to this spot on the Colorado River, there was no evidence that it had snowed at all. I had hoped to get a reflection shot, but the wind was just too strong with ripples across the water. Patience is a virtue however, and I waited the wind out. For about five minutes, a small section of the river grew calm (you can see the ripples on the rest of the water,) and I was able to capture this scene before the winds kicked back up.
three grey wagtail shots from this morning a clear morning with no wind allowed for some super reflections shots
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.
UP LDG51B notches upgrade through Bootlegger Canyon with a train of potash loads in tow. I was hoping to get a reflection shot here with the Colorado River, but to my dismay, I found only a small puddle and a barren riverbed after I walked down the closed boat ramp.

I decided to take a trip up north to Mt. Vernon to shoot the tulips on my day off work. When I woke up, it was cloudy and slightly rainy which I was excited about. Normally I hate shooting in the rain, but today was a different story. When it rains, nice puddles form in between the rows of tulips which make for awesome reflection shots.
Fast forward to when I arrived at the tulip fields. After I parked, I started taking photos for no more than 15 minutes before the harsh sunlight popped out of the clouds. I looked up into the sky to see little to no cloud cover as far as I could see in every direction. After about 15 more minutes of walking around hoping for random clouds to appear, I decided that it was time to pack up and go home.
Sunlight is my worst enemy as it always creates harsh contrast and ugly shadows.

Sunday morning adventures with a yearling bull moose. The lake was nice and calm, resulting in some nice reflection shots.
As the sun drops below the hill at Porthmeor beach St Ives I managed to get some reflection shots after each little wave brought more water in .
I've been posting from my archives more often than not of late and this particular image happens to be from 2006. It was a beautiful day, really bright blue sky, huge puffy white clouds, the works! This image is actually a shot of a partially stagnant portion of a lake, full of floating autumn leaves and the wind fiercely blowing creating ripples on the surface. I turned it upside, just because...(because I like to 180 reflection shots and because I swear I can make out a face or two in this one when viewed upside down). Amazing what the wind can do ;-)
The weather forecast looked good so I took a deep breath and drove the 6 hours to Lake Matheson (Fox Glacier) yesterday in an attempt to take a nice reflection shot of Mt Tasman and Mt Cook. This is the last of a pano of 3 portrait images. I was hoping that the sky would turn pink/purple as the sun was setting. Luckily, I was not disappointed.
Shot on iPhone 7 Plus.
One of the things I like about puddles is that it opens up the chance of reflection shots that only exist for a small window of time.
Another reflection shot this week, in response to the word 'Borders' given to me by Southampton uni.
I would like to thank everyone for their positive comments to my reflection/borders work, its nice to see that people like your work.
This shot is of a glass table that was wet from the rain, the reflection of the tree really stood out to me, I wanted those out of focus parts to add depth and the feel that you was bordering on into a different world.
We didn't get many reflection shots on our trip and there was a breeze here but I got down on my belly with my camera on a rock!
There's plenty more scope for interesting reflection shots in the reflective exterior of Grand Central so I hope to return at some point later this year to take some more.
Hopefully their attitude towards people taking photos inside will be more enlightened by then.......
