In November 2021 I was invited to take photos of a big rocket launch by a space startup in the Mojave Desert in California. I took the opportunity to travel that region. On Sunday I drove up north on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Near Bishop is a small Alpine lake called North Lake. The trees already lost the leaves at this time of the year, so no fall colors. There was no wind, so the lake was very calm, perfect for a reflection shot.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, carefully adjusted the color balance and curves, and desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Just trying to get a reflection shot across the water and then these two cygnets paddle up in the hope I have food for them. Sorry no food but pleased with the low view point, I could have almost stroked them but no hissing.
They flew off 20 minutes later as the dogs and other walkers they approached had no food either..... It was a cold frosty start to the morning and my hopes of the park shrouded in mist were, well shall we say missed !!
The Okotoks "Big Rock" a large Glacial erratic located about 500km from it's original location in Jasper National Park. I had never seen this Big Rock with the spring melt and rain pools before and I was determined to get a reflection shot, I literally got 3 bracketed shots off and the wind started to blow! The reflection went away of course:( This shot was the darkest of my brackets
This is for Emmanuelle, who prefers my reflection shots vertical, but I thought I'd try a reverse first! Up and down is a track by John Lee Hooker and is perfect! Because the headland at Whitmore stairs is a similar shape from both sides it took me a while to realise this was inverted!
On my way home from Harrisburg today, I made my first ever stop at the B&P yard and Dubois. I was hoping to see more than just this one unit in the yard, but it was positioned perfectly for a reflection shot. First time ever seeing the B&P.

I think that I had seen pics of this bridge before, but didn't know what I was looking at. This is the first view you get of it and it's a jaw dropper. The only thing that I found on it was that it's three stories tall and people who are NOT me like to jump from it which astounds me considering the multitude of volcanic rock up and down the Lewis River. I saw very few people here, but doing some research discovered that this place is packed in the summer with sunbathers and swimmers. Elke asked me if I got a reflection shot and I had to laugh. the river is at flood stage and is a raging torrent of green and white water roaring past with a vengeance right now, it was amazing. :-)
The wind blew down my perfect reflection shot expectation

More of a wide-angle shot. The swans were annoying as they kept approaching for food and ruining any chances of getting still reflection shots in the harbour :-)
Its been raining non-stop which is a good thing because ive been wanting to take more water and reflection shots....This picture was taken on the way to college...
Might be worth a click to enlarge. Just one of my reflection shots from the bottom of a cliff at a naturalist beach in Auckland. No one but photographers there BTW.
Wheeling & Lake Erie 291 throttles out of a stop in Copley, Ohio with former Rio Grande SD40T-2 5391 in command. On a boring straightaway with no foreground or background components to work with, I was lucky to find this puddle to spice things up and get that good 'ol reflection shot of a Rio Grande tunnel motor in its original paint pulling a road train in 2020.
I thought it was time for another reflection shot since I havent posted one for a while
Got this the other day when I visited the javitts centre in NYC for a Expo, I looked up as I was getting there and saw this reflection and had to get my camera out
On my way to find a parking spot in Yosemite Valley to wait and watch the Horsetail Fall phenomena, I had to stop at the edge of the Merced River to take a reflection shot! I am addicted to the beauty in Yosemite National Park!
I used my my faulty 1 month old router and placed a few colored LED bulbs (about 3 dollars from Diaso shop) to create the reflections.
Shot taken with my smartphone with a clipped on macro lens.
Hopefully the vivid colors provide a cheerful feeling to all.
Happy Monday and have a great week ahead!
It's been really still here lately, so last night I decided to go to the wharf area to get some still water reflection shots. I got plenty of those, but then I found these two guys spinning lights around.
It was amazing to watch - almost hypnotic. So I had the pleasure of hanging out with them for a while, with these lights changing colour and direction as they spun around like electrons around a human nucleus.
You can only take these kinds of pictures for a few weeks here as the rice fields are flooded without the rice growing yet. They offer a great chance to capture some rare reflection shots.
I am a sucker for reflections and when I see a potentially good reflection shot, I stop and wait for the exact image I want. This Tricolored Heron went onto different poses and I waited to get him and his reflection broadside and no other light interference.

Streetsville (Mississauga). My friend, Steve Maxwell, took me out to get some practice with his XT. I'm going to buy either an XTi or the new Canon 450 that will appear within the next few months.
Taken in Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal, the gentle breeze dropped long enough to allow this reflection shot to be taken.
I used tiny magnetic beads to construct a ring a round of 16 beads (2.5cm in diameter) and 7 layers (2.5cm in height/depth). Then placed 2 golden foil cards about 4.5cm by 7cm (from chocolate packing) in L shaped and placed the ring.
Then placed a pink plastic phone holder and a blue box to create color reflections.
Shot taken at a tilted angle into the middle of the ring, creating multiple refractions and reflections.
No special lightings all from the ceiling lights. Using my Huawei Mate 9 :)
Flowers by the duck-pond at Castle Bytham. I was setting up for a reflection shot here but of course all the ducks swam over and that was the end of the reflections. :-) You can maybe see the ripples in the water.

Ok another reflection shot but I haven't posted one for at least 5 shots and I'm starting to shake, phew! I feel better now.

Although I've seen really good images from the area used to shoot this, over the decades I've been a Bay Area photographer, I never found the time to use a long lens here myself, until it was certain that the new Bay Lights would go on.
I figured that they would affect the way reflection shots would look, so I set out to shoot a series of them before that time. Well, I started close to home with this one and eventually arrived as far south as the Embarcadero in San Francisco, but didn't get to every shot. Not the biggest deal to worry about, to be sure. Especially when you consider that the Bay Lights help certain shots, quite a bit. Still, I think it was a good thing to do.
Anyway, the main thing about this shot was having clear enough air right above the bay to render the city, itself, to better establish a sense of place because this is FAR away.
Thanks for having a look!
I planned to escape to the Tessin over the weekend, the Italian speaking part of Switzerland. I scrapped that plan because of heavy 60+mm rain forecast. Plan B was to take a gondola in nearby St. Gallen, and hike along a high mountain ridge. The clouds were favorable. It turned out that the gondola & restaurant were closed due to a private family event. I looked on the map for other interesting places nearby, and ended up at the Werdenberg castle in Buchs, St. Gallen. Plan C turned out nice. The old town of Werdenberg located just below the castle is amazing, and has very well preserved old buildings. While walking among the buildings I noticed that the sky lit up. I raced to the other side of the lake to take this reflection shot.
I processed a balanced, a paintery, and a photographic HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

My planned reflection shot of cypress trees off Natchez Trace got rained out but when life gives you lemons..... Turned out a little spooky looking. Thus a little Edgar Allan Poe. youtu.be/rxg7OFFtWQE
Rowing boats on Shaw's Lake, Glenanne, County Armagh. A beautiful sunset over the still lake made for some lovely reflections. Shot at F 7.1 and focsued on the boats - about 1/3 the way into the scene to try to maximise sharpness.
The Western NC streams are low this year but there are some great small pools that are making for nice reflection shots.
The story behind this photo:
I was walking home on Sunday afternoon when I came across this puddle of water beneath the block opposite to mine. I could see the reflection of my block very clearly in the puddle due to the direction of the light at that particular point in time.
I have always wanted to take a reflection shot and thus I hurried up to grab my camera. My vase of cut flowers was by the doorway and I decided to grab this stalk of Gerbera as well.
I tried out several shots with the Gerbera placed at different positions and shot from multiple angles. Coincidentally, it then started to drizzle and I was finally able to capture this shot of the reflection of my block and the Gerbera in addition to the concentric wavefronts produced by the rain drops on the puddle of water. I named the photo 'Circles of Life' as I hope that this photo is able to subtly represent the life within the housing block community.
