A reflection shot of the Milkyway taken near Grimsel mountain pass in the Swiss Alps. .
This is by far the most time-consuming shot I have created to this day (taking the shots and post-editing). I did already spend quite a long time under the stars taking the different photo layers (tracked, untracked, focus stacking & separate reflection exposures) which was then followed by a marathon post-processing session...well, I guess I should try this more often and with more practice perhaps be able to optimize the whole process a little bit. .
During those shots my wife was sleeping alongside in the alpine meadow. I do very much appreciate her patience and sympathy for my out of the ordinary hobby and her company out there in the dark! She usually tries to stay awake and watch some shooting stars but eventually falls asleep anyway. During these nights I am always absolutely fascinated and somehow spiritually touched. I consider it to be a great privilege to have the opportunity to spend such a wonderful time under the night sky. In terms of Alan Watts' analogy to the universe/life, to me this is "dancing" and "singing" to the cosmic music playing around us. So don't forget to dance and sing while the music is playing and make the most out of the brief period of time we have as stardust-composed human beings in this amazingly complex cosmos! .

Dummy's Bust in a Storedisplay with Reflections !!

May be you can see me !!! LOL !!
A reflection shot from my Sep. 7, 2010 shoot at the Ridgefield NWR. This bird was a superb photo subject!
spectacles bridge, built in 1634, nagasaki;
as a small kid, it was always inspiring that the name of this bridge needs not only the bridge itself but also its reflected body on the water in order to be called so. every time when my mom takes me to town, i was looking forward to see this bridge creating a lovely couple of circles.
i am always happy that my dear friends and viewers liking my reflection shots. but my eye for reflections is not original because it has been mentored by old people in my home town who built this beautiful bridge.
We lest the canal tow path soon after this. A delightful start to the walk which was a circular from Tiverton.
Day 223
Continuing with a series of reflection shots. This one is of a sculpture outside the American Enterprise building. Old guy with camera makes a cameo.

I got a bit lucky with this shot, taken just across the road from the Old Bailey in central London. I'd rattled off a few, hoping that the passers-by would make for a good reflection shot, but with no luck. Then this guy appeared and hung around eating his lunch whilst I snapped away! Luckily the Ricoh GR is a nice discrete size so he didn't catch me in the act :-)
this is my version of the newest attraction in the city of Chicago, the Marilyn Monroe statue with a little bit of a twist...i have noticed that this statue is always packed with tourists so i went to the city this morning a little early to shoot this scene and hoped to avoid the crowds...i was pretty glad to see that there was still no big crowds milling about Big Marilyn...in this shot, i was so happy with my granite bench reflection shot of the skyline from the other day that i decided to apply the same technique in this instance as well...there were numerous granite benches/planters around the courtyard so i looked for a good spot, comped the frame and placed my camera on the surface and clicked hoping for the best...happy to say that i was really elated with the result that i almost did the dance of joy in public....hope you guys enjoy this one as much as i do...pls.

I thought these rocks had great shapes and colors I hope to go back in the early morning for reflection shots.
A small puddle next to the Vulcan at Wellesbourne only meant one thing, to get soaked and try and capture a reflection shot of it.
Reflecting on the crazy travel week it was. This reflection shot was taken at the EMP Musuem in Seattle This Gehry designed building is great for photography.

I've photographed the abstract reflections created by the curved glass facade of the Foster + Partners Willis building many times before. If I'm in the area I'll still call by to take more as there's always more shots to be taken due to a combination of lighting conditions and time of day.
When I choose the source images for these 'flipped' shots I usually opt for simple graphic images but I think what I like about this one is the complexity it creates.

From Wikipedia, "The Willis Building is a commercial skyscraper in London named after the primary tenant, Willis Group. It is located on Lime Street in the City of London financial district.
The building was designed by Norman Foster and developed by British Land. It stands opposite the Lloyd's building and is 125 metres (410 ft) tall, with 26 storeys. It features a "stepped" design, which was intended to resemble the shell of a crustacean, with setbacks rising at 97 m (318 ft) and 68 m (223 ft). In total, there are 475,000 square feet (44,128.9 m2) of office floor-space, most of which was pre-let to the insurance broker Willis."

Pololu Valley, Big Island, Hawaii
The Pololu Valley (“Long Spear” Valley) is very easy to give driving directions for - get on highway 270 N/E and when the road ends; you’re there. Before you will stretch roughly 10 miles of rugged coastline with waterfall fed rivers and estuaries in jungle valleys cut deep into old volcanic rock. From the parking/ dead end turn around it’s a rocky path down about 400 feet to the beach. If you go there before dawn don’t forget a flashlight, you’ll need to see where your feet are going! In a few places it’s like a staircase of uneven stone. Look around at the top of the hill at the trail-head and maybe there will still be a couple piles of walking sticks people use and leave afterwards. They really help on the way back up! On this morning, it was a bit too heavy and this cloud here was blocking the sunrise. I had actually packed up and was heading deeper into the valley when I saw light hitting the top of this cloud. It continued to break up and float over the beach so I ran back and set up the tripod, camera, filers. I then waited for a good sized surge to wet the sand, ran out, waited for a wave, and made the exposure. I only had a couple chances due to my lack of preparation as the clouds quickly lost all color and looked white to the eye. Its probably about 22min and 15 seconds after sunrise, if I had to guess. Reflections are the best on black sand beaches and the Hawaiian waters are so clear (lacking foam) you just can’t resist going for reflection shots. I really miss Hawaii. I’m not saying California isn’t amazing, I just like being warm in shorts and a t-shirt at dawn waist deep in water is all.
Thanking you in advance for your views/comments/favs =)
Without a cloud in the sky and no wind at all we decided to stop at pocono lake ad get a few reflection shots.
NSM 654 shoves on the rear of a loaded tailings train as it heads for the Milepost 7 disposal site northwest of Silver Bay. A repeat visit is in order when the wind isn't so strong and messing with what would be a solid reflection shot.
It was really a photographer's paradise on the day I stopped at Lake Mulwala and got some reflection shots. Here is another.

Street candid and reflection shot taken in Glasgow, Scotland.
Part of my series of themed shots of capturing reflections within Glasgow City Centre. I had been eyeing up this puddle for the last few visits into town and never had a shot 'present' itself to me. I noticed the red balloons which had been caught in the draped overhead lighting, most likely from Valentine's Day, and at that moment saw a red haired woman in a bright green jacket heading for the archway. I knew this was the shot I had been waiting for so I slowed my pace down to time the shot and capture her reflection just as she emerged from the arch. The homeless beggar and other peoples legs in the top of the frame was a lucky accident that, for me at least, really adds to the shot.
The best I could do here was a reflection shot in this muddy puddle. Bentley seemed to be pretty lively on this day but I was only there to shoot the elevator and get outta town quick.
LOL....or just another reflection shot from one of the schools I shot that I haven't posted yet! Just something different than the usual :-)
Twice this year I've been able to do some stormy sunset reflection shots downtown and I have to say, I absolutely LOVE this kind of photography. But first off, this is Movie Title Wednesday and we're going with Back to the Future this week!
I remember seeing Back to the Future for the first time as a kid at my aunt's house. God bless her for renting it that night. My brother and I loved it. And we've been huge fans ever since. I'm fairly certain the old, long-gone, Cine Capri in Phoenix did a marathon one day of all three films that we attended. Anyways, this was such a good movie. A bit of science fiction time travel, but in a way that didn't seem like sci-fi at all. Great music, awesome writing and of course, Michael J. Fox whom I've loved forever.
I went with this movie today because of the tire tracks in the puddle leading off to a firey sunset. Kind of makes you think of the Delorean's fire trails after jumping back in time right?
There is something a heck of a lot of fun about finding these scenes in giant pools of water after a storm. It was actually still raining a bit when I was down there, so a few times I had to duck under some shelter to wait for it to end.

20200511_3977_1D3-400 Pied Stilt family (132/366)
While I was trying to get some good reflection shots of a white-faced heron (there are a couple of pics of it with the stilts further on) a family (two adults and a juvenile) of Pied Stilts (Himantopus himantopus) flew in and started feeding.

I stopped by this little cabin last week to snatch that spring reflection shot, which now only leaves the summer image to finish off the four seasons image I have in mind. Thanks for looking!
Reflection shot at Sunset on a farm at Southern Cross Western Australia. Night 1 of our recent road trip.
The city water department fixed the leaky hydrant since I visited last week, so no reflection shots today. There was more work ahead for Crew 1, but I needed to head for home.

I spent my lunch hour walking around the San Joaquin Wildlife Refuge. It was a weird day. There were very few birds there. Usually by this time of year the ponds are teaming with many species of birds, ducks and photographic opportunities. Not so today.
Maybe it's not cold enough up north to push them this far south yet. If it's warm enough and there's food why would they expend those precious calories and move?
Luckily, I did find a few nice opportunities. This is my favorite of the day.
I found several Black Necked Stilts near the shore on one of the larger ponds and made a few single bird and reflection shots, but these felt stale and boring. I needed something different and more unique. I spent several minutes sipping water and watching the birds do their bird things. Then I noticed these three birds( all of which were at least one hundred feet apart), but they were all heads down concentrating on feeding and walking towards each other. I thought "rules of three" and picked a spot on the water where I felt and hoped they would all come together. I focused on the spot and kept peeking over my camera adjusting the spot and focus several times while the birds continued to converge on my spot and each other. It wasn't long and I had all three birds with in my frame (I couldn't believe it!) I made several rapid exposures as they all came together. Then as if on cue they all did an about face and started walking in the opposite direction (basically following their inbound steps in reverse.) Again I fired off another quick burst. Zooming out, recomposing and another quick burst. Working as quickly as I could I repeated the process again - only this time I was holding my breath! I cannot explain how maddening (and exciting) it is trying to get three moving birds to line up in a aesthetically pleasing way! Out of control madness! Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. This time it did! Big exhale :)
I had taken my son to football training, luckily I always have my camera with me just in case I see something worth photographing.
On this occasion I saw the reflections of a floodlight on car's rear windows. I immediately spied a photo opportunity.....and this wonderful reflection shot is the result.

Another hot sizzling day here in San Antonio, Texas. With the sun's bright glare in the sky, I decided to take this reflection shot of the sunset with my 18-200mm lens. Lol.
Time to relax with a few very cold beer's.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all your wonderful comments and faves, you guys Rock. Lol, Gaston.

Made a trip up to Rainer this morning and the wind gods were not friendly! The lake had ripples on it so reflection shots were out the window! So I took what I could get as I was already there and it was still a beautiful sight!
Taken across the flooded marshland looking towards the Viaduct arches. I had filled my boots with reflection shots of the swing-bridge and sunrise mist and was attracted by the grasses and the water pools. It was worth a few last shots before I had to go to work
Along with the stunning winter looks, Rain and I took a few moments to grab a warm beverage at a local coffee shop and made use of the lovely atmosphere and light from the big windows looking out onto the street. I especially love the reflection shots - hard to get focus and balance the subject and reflection but we got a couple shots that turned out amazing. All shot with natural/ambient light. More to come
"The signs of the trail led down to a small lake located just below the pass and keeping close to the lake rounded its easterly shore and zigzagged up the steep slope leading directly to the pass. "
KNAPSACKING ACROSS THE KINGS-KERN DIVIDE.
By William E. Colby. Sierra Bulletin Vol. VIII pg. 164
Today we go west from here and take the ridge further up. Love this photo. I'll definitely look for a remake on this one in 2022. I haven't found any other early photos at this spot. Seems a logical choice, but maybe not from the East shore. Might be worth walking the East shore to directly across from here and go for a landscape 12mm from shoreline to peak. Gotta be some majestic reflection shots in that water. Again, a view South into the sun. Mornings, evenings and mid-day, complicated by season. Is the Southern Junction face exposed ever? Think Half Dome face, angle shots are most common. Ansel made a composition on the trail from higher on the right of here, "Junction Peak", which went for the angled July light on the 90 shot.
I've posted a similar fisheye reflection shot at the time, but looking back now, this is my favourite edit from the Kitesurfing photo session at Compton Bay on the Isle of Wight back in early September. I'm sharing this version at 50% bigger than my usual web uploads so you can see it in more of its glory, looks quite nice Large on black (press L).
And in response to a comment on the last shot about the skies, i dont do HDR, this is what the clouds looked like that day, the contrast and depth was amazing.

With literally 15 seconds between seeing the clear aspect at East Whitefield and the horn announcing their approach, KCS 4658 West leads the M-NSJA toward High Oak Yard. The rains from the night before offered an opportunity to play with a reflection shot as the train roared by at close to 50 miles per hour.

Not much to photograph today as i'm taking it easy. Still can't shift my cough but at least i feel healthier today.
Thought i should do one of these self reflection shots as i think it's actually something i havn't done yet. :)
NS A64 scurries over the Coosa River at Riverside, AL. Up front today is an NS GP60. I’d planned for a reflection shot but Chuck The Duck made that a nil possibility. Were this March through October I’d be under water. Thanks to Elijah Brown for the heads up.
this sunset was shot from last summer by Lily Lake in Lakemoor, Illinois...i pass this lake everyday going to and coming home from work and most of the times i stop by briefly to watch the sunset and if the conditions are great, i start shooting as many frames as i can.....most mornings, this lake is just really calm and glass-like which is perfect for reflection shots...pls.

Take The Piss (out of) (someone or something)
To tease, mock, or ridicule (someone or something); to joke or kid around (about someone or something). Primarily heard in UK, Ireland.
If you are so serious that you can't take the piss out of yourself every once in a while, you're going to have a hard time enjoying most of life.
It really hurt Steph's feelings to know that the group had been taking the piss out of her that whole time.
Brian was a bit of a troublesome student and tended to take the piss whenever class began.
Every now and then I get a wild hair up my backside and the urge to create a world class photo comes out. Other times I post things like this.
This was shot looking into a corner window from out on the deck. I saw the Pepper's Ghost effect:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper%27s_ghost
and thought it might make a shot so I fired away. You may have done the same thing before in some of your reflection shots and not known that it had a name and history. I added an Old Polaroid treatment to it and this is what I wound up with.
Anyhow, I decided to take the piss out of the younger generation who would probably rave over this type of shot and give me my 15 minutes of viral fame that I so richly deserve for sharing this with the world! The only thing I could probably do better would be to make it look cartoonish and add the SL tag to it (done)!
Am I an ass? According to NIccy I can certainly be one at times. Am I having fun? No doubt about it! Any questions? Just see the first Italicized sentence above.
The New Wave is photogenic and just 10 mins driving distance from Page, AZ. To be fair, it is no way near the beauty of the Wave but it doesn't require a permit and long hiking to access. I would like to revisit it after rain to get a reflection shot.

I'm seeing this bridge in very good lighting at the present on my walk home through Hyde Park / Kensington Gardens. The sky looked ominous, (although it cleared later), but I thought it justified another shot.
You might like to compare with a similar photo taken at about the same time of day on
www.flickr.com/photos/martin-james/1323993336/
Re a few questions, it has been edited, but not a lot. There were some blemishes that I removed, and using 'ArcSoft PhotoPro' (which came free with the Canon 350D), I upped the colour hue and saturation, though I'm afraid I can't tell you by how much. It's in the Canon jpg format, not HDR, I don't know anything about using HDR (yet!).
I did think that I could have shot a better photo when I posted the last attempt; I prefer the composition on this one. Getting the ominous (but harmless) sky was a bonus! The thing with both of these photos is that it's getting into September, the Sun is getting lower, and this changes the quality of the light. I'm given to crepuscular habits with photography as there are shots to be had in the early morning and evening that don't exist in the middle of the day. I also tend to take more photos towards the Winter, again because the Sun is lower in the sky.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
