On my last London trip I revisited the rebuilt Tottenham Court Road Underground Station. The new exits were opened in December last year. Work is ongoing for 2 more exits and links to the eventual platforms for Crossrail still under construction. This is the new south plaza exit featuring the latest in a series of artworks by the French artist Daniel Buren. I was setting up to get a reflection shot when the man engrossed in his smartphone walked into the composition – perfect!! The escalators for the exit are to the left of where the picture was taken.

The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10 mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing processed with Photomatix Fusion Real Estate setting for a natural look. I used Topaz DeNoise and Topaz Clarity. Not much more processing was needed apart from tidy up with the heal brush and a brightness adjustment layer.

'Endless reflections'
Shot at the end of blue hour last week, featuring two of the most iconic places of Singapore; the MBS and the Business district, both reflected on the dark and calm Marina Bay as a perfect mirror.

A canal scene at the Sotoportego de le colone district in Venice. It was a quiet moment and the water was nice and still for this reflection shot.
Darling Harbour is a harbour next to the CBD of Sydney. Every Saturday hundreds of people gather around for a spectacular display of fireworks.
With high tide less than half an hour away 66126 skirts the estuary at Golant with 6G06 Goonbarrow to Fowey. A slight breeze and the incessant rain wiped away any chance of the reflection shot, still, it was atmospheric.
After five, it will be dark around here. A classic, simple reflection shot of Rockport harbor and the famous Motif Number One in December.
With my D7100 back from Nikon, I decided I'd return to the Isle of Dogs to get some more reflection shots, this time from Millwall Inner Dock.
Look closely. This is not a reflection shot, nor is it a PhotoShop trick. This is two pairs of dragonflies, attached to the same shoreline stem, doing what they do.
This was taken at the base of a steep shoreline, under a dark tree canopy. I got as close as possible without slipping down the bank and joining their party in the water.
If you look at the upper left corner of the image, you can see a bit of a wing tip. There was a pair of Damselflies mating there as well...but they were out of focus and there was no cropping choice that worked to include them in the final image.
Most of us likely have a sort of 'map' picture of South America in our heads, and we see that the continent is much wider in its north and center, but that it thins greatly as it reaches southward like a long peninsula toward Antarctica. We know this extensive narrow southern reach of South America as Patagonia, of course. It is an incredibly beautiful mountainous, steppe, desert and fjord landscape divided politically between Chile and Argentina.
The southern tip of Patagonia is nearly 3000 km farther south than the southernmost point in Africa, farther south in fact than any other landmass on Earth save Antarctica. Which is to explain that, unlike in the northern hemisphere, there's nothing to break the strong winds whisking around the globe at these latitudes--mariners have long written of the Roaring Forties and the Furious Fifties--except this thin ribbon of young rock thrust up by familiar tectonic forces.
All this is a long way to say that Patagonia is often ridiculously windy, like the kind of windy that approaches and sometimes exceeds what we might call hurricane force in my home part of the world. Typical conditions are not conducive to placid reflection shots, but we got lucky with weather in Torres del Paine National Park in Chile, and one morning found this perfect calm awaiting us in a small lake. It was a quite a treat, augmented beautifully by the rich dawn light on the Cuernos del Paine and their surrounding massif.
I've never gone with an organized group before for photography, but Patti and I joined Capture the Atlas for part of our travels this time and I commend them highly. They did a truly excellent job. We had a fairly small group, including several spouses and significant others who were not quite such die-hard photographers, and as near as I could tell everyone immensely enjoyed the trip and all our time together. Thanks again to Prince and Franceso with Capture the Atlas, and also to all the local folks who helped us at so many steps along the way.
Thanks for viewing!
It was my second visit to this location as I wanted to get some reflection shots in the water unfortunately I arrived a bit late and most of the puddles had dried up,also wanting to get a shot of the front with its red strip
Most unusually there was a very high spring tide yesterday allied to only a gentle onshore breeze allowing for this reflection shot of the pair of Cans on a typically well loaded Felixstowe - Trafford Park. Ten minutes later even the tips of the remaining grass in the foreground were inundated.

I was in London, so i just HAD to take a dark-rainy-silhouette-reflection-shot :)
Here is a proposal for this kind of reflections shot: start with a tripod and take 3 exposures as long exposure versions (2, 0 and +2 EV) (if possible with an ND filter during the day). After that use Photomatix for combine all 3 shots together but do not process the picture in Photomatix at all - so after combining the shot sav the result as floating point tiff (32 Bit HDR) format that is a very big file but there is a lot of light in the file. The picture development was done in Lightroom and Photoshop CC with additional blending. The picture was taken at the pink tube („Rosa Röhre“) at the landwehr canal (Landwehrkanal) here in Berlin. It is actually the biggest circulation tank in the world! I shot with my Canon EOS 40D.

As I continue to sort through my archives I thought that I would use the end of the year as an excuse to post this one. A still morning and a quick dash to Burrator, after a rather breezy year, left me rather excited at the number of ''reflections' shots that I found. - Thankfully it wasn't quite 2016, but you get my drift . . .
Burrator Reservoir is on the south side of Dartmoor in the county of Devon. It is one of a number of reservoirs and dams that were built over the course of the 19th and 20th centuries in the area now covered by Dartmoor National Park to supply drinking water to the city of Plymouth and other rapidly growing towns in the surrounding lowlands.
Another reflection shot from a walk in Torridon with Steve back in October.
When we started the walk there was quite a breeze blowing and Loch Clair was all ripples, but by the time we reached Loch Coulin things had settled down and the water mirrored the landscape.
We both liked the look of the trees on the opposite side of the Loch reflected in the calm water.

Another of my Icelandic 'reflection' shots of Kýlingavatn lake in the nature reserve of Friðland að Fjallabaki, Iceland
I was lining up for a few different reflection shots, when these 3 boys walked into view. Someone was calling them from the sand dunes saying that supper was ready. They were far too busy catching crabs to be bothered with any of that nonsense.
started painting this as it was drizzling, fortunately it stopped as soon as it started and left a perfectly placed puddle for a sweet reflection shot. sketched out the letters with a yellow then rollered the letters and outlined it.
Tried to add some more little bits and bobs and play about with the letter structure, not having them all clumped together.
Another shot from last night. Always wanted to shoot this tree with the stars, but theres never that many stars behind it, like the shot i got of it under the moonlight. There were so many stars out last night there were no worries with lack of stars. A cool reflection shot.

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."

Taken on an evening wander around the National Trust reserve Wicken Fen. I had been waiting to try and take a sdpecific shot of a barn owl, but no such luck - loved this reflection shot I spied on the way back though!
Dubai Opera, a stunning landmark in Downtown Dubai, is a hub for cultural events, live performances, and opera shows, celebrated for its modern architecture, iconic design, and breathtaking views of the Dubai skyline, making it a favorite spot for travel photography, night photography, and capturing city lights, reflections, and symmetry in architecture.
The Cheney local is returning to Spokane as it approaches South Marshall Road.
My second attempt at a reflection shot was a vast improvement, although the water surface was not very smooth!
I was playin around experimenting reflection shots...
I guess we are gonna see a lot of rough sea's and grey skies on flickr these days from the Maldivian Flickerers... :)
I love the paterns and the colours created here with the sun hidden beneath those clouds.
Psst...! click the link below to see the whole Sunrise & Sunset set
Jökulsárlón is a visual dream if you like landscapes or even if you don't....:) The sunset was extremely spectacular that evening and although the wind was too fierce for cool sunset reflection shots, it was still a real nice photographic moment...
Wanted to get a nice reflection shot for my set :) Enjoying those fall colours. We should be getting our first night frost in the upcoming few days, so the leaves will fall off fast, soon...
A heads up alerted me to a 6D43 run to Valley for today,as a route retention exercise.The difference being it would run TnT into Holyhead and then back to Valley to access the triangle. This was because of a problem with the crossover points from the Down onto the Up line. at Valley.This could be the first time a flask has run into Holyhead, and certainly a first for a top and tail working. The only TnT working I have seen previously was when 2x66s collected a faulty FNa back to Crewe on a Saturday morning, returning via Warrington. Needless to say the planned reflection shot did not turn out as well as I had hoped because a gentle breeze got up and spoiled it . The previous shot of a unit was perfect !
So settled for a unique record shot !!
Reflection shots here potentially leave a large gap in the centre of the photo, the poster and couple waiting fill it nicely. 6G99 Tunstead - Banbury.
I spent a few minutes taking some reflection shots in these windows. When I was done I refocused my attention and looked inside...The guy at the front desk was staring at me like I was the most suspicious person in the world.
The sun is low and the tide is receding and provides the opportunity for a reflection shot at this iconic location.
BNSF grain train at Garrettson SD, Marshall Sub. The edges of the pool were flooded so I tried placing flash along the bridge rail. I hoped that if I dialed down the exposure enough I would avoid making the metal paint shine. Didn't work well enough--flash needs to hit the train at an angle. The air was full of bugs too. One more reason I don't like summer. OTOH, it's tough to get a reflection shot in South Dakota in winter!

Okay, I couldn't resist posting a different photo of my favorite lighthouse. One of the reasons that this light is my favorite is that it looks very different depending on the side of the lighthouse you are on and the time of day. I have shown people many different photos of it from all angles, and they are amazed to find out that it is the same lighthouse in each one. To put perspective on the different looks, check out the reflection shot of it in the puddle that I posted on Monday. If you walk (okay, climb) from where I am standing to the lighthouse and then climb down some rugged terrain, you will find the puddle. Quite the different look from this photo. To get where I am standing, you have to climb down along the fence and then climb up and over a bunch of rocks to get to this view. For this composition, I thought that including more of the amazing clouds that we had this morning would give a sense of scale of the bluff that the light stands on.
An eastbound BNSF grain train waits for the green signal at Rose on a warm Groundhog's Day afternoon. The recent rainstorms paired with lots of cold and dry weather resulted in lots of puddles around the area, perfect for reflection shots.

A walk through Liverpool city centre and some street photography on our way to our anniversary meal on 7 January 2025.
This was the only one that paused at the edge of the water in a way that gave me a reflection shot. Last shot I kept from my morning encounter with the colony. The 2 large ones never did come out of hiding. The youngsters of varying ages were so active they were hard to count. There seem to be between 10 and 15 in this extended family group. Fun to watch & not causing any harm here.

We lucked out this late September morning at Oxbow Bend.....the lingering smoke from the forest fires was light and there was a nice bank of fog just above the Snake River in the distance.
No clouds, but not any wind either - which allowed for a reflection shot of Mount Moran surrounded by all the magical autumn colors.
I hope you can visit this iconic spot at some point in your photography journey. I go back and back and back .... and I never tire of the view.
