I do love reflection shots and mannequins and adore when they come together in an unusual way inside a shot. Who could have foreseen that this seated mannequin would end up with headlights for eyes? Not me--I definitely got lucky here!
This shot that was taken a little while back on Madison Ave. at night. It's one of my least favorite places during the daytime, but one of my favorite places to visit and photograph at night.
I'm realizing that stores must have access to more than one type of mannequin. It's not a question of fashion, as one can have the featureless variety next door to the more humanoid, which we see here. No one has infinite storage space, so I imagine many of the mannequins are rented out for the duration of the window display in question. (I'd have to be there a lot more often to see what kind of mannequins each store uses to see if there are radical differences from one weekly or monthly window display to the next.)
The mannequin's headlight eyes do give her an "otherly" look. Something's not quite right... Is she looking at us or through us? She is definitely eerie-looking--uncanny, as well. Her gaze is disquieting, as if she were a character in a horror film. Her pose is odd as well, particularly her left foot--as if she were about to spring to her feet, and jump through the window...
I think it's the combination of her gaze and her pose that gives her the spooky allure.

Unedited shot of myself reflected on the top of a metal pole in Amsterdam. Taken with my Sony HX1. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
2010 was a bit of a sh*t year for me, so I've set my mind to making 2011 a much better year...unlike most people, who try to quit smoking or drink less, I have decided that my only New Years resolution will be to take even wickeder reflection pictures than last year. With my new Sony HX1 camera and a bit of help from the rain gods (and those in charge of any other reflective surface), I should be able to make it happen and I'm really looking forward to blowing your mind with my 2011-style reflection shots :))
To make this even more fun, I will take part in a photo exhibition again next month at the ABC Treehouse, together with the lovely Miss Monyart, make sure to mark it in your calender already, it's going to start on February 5 and will go on until the end of the month, hope to see you there :)
The dam at the Johnsonville Mill Pond. I already posted a photo of the walkway as seen from pond level. Here is the dam and the walkway just above it. Interesting that the walkway looked white in the other shot but appears unpainted in this one.
This Mute Swan apparently is accustomed to people leaving food for the waterfowl. As soon as I drove up, it came swimming right up to where I was sitting in my car. It acted disappointed that I didn't make a contribution (sad because they become dependent on people). It did give me several opportunities for nice reflection shots.
Reflections are always on list of pictures to take and this is one example. I have so few reflection shots of the Black-bellied Whistling Duck that I keep looking for them. EXP
Best viewed large on black.
Using Deborah's earlier suggestion with yet another New Jersey pond reflection shot. This one has more debris in the water--looks like birds?
....you'll just have to take my word for it. Or you could take a look at it in a different position on a black background somewhere to the right of this one!!!! It is fascinating to see what different colours do to an original colour.
That's me done processing for the night once I've annotated the one on the black background.
Anyone fed up with these reflection shots yet? It may not make any difference even if you are!!! LOL
Experimental metro reflection shot number one. Somewhere near Ségur.
Ligne 10, direction Gare d'Austerlitz.
This was the tail end of a metro on the left side. I have another shot that shows a full metro, but that seemed too busy. I will put it up if anybody's interested.
For those who this works for, it does look great: View On Black
A walk through Liverpool city centre and some street photography on our way to our anniversary meal on 7 January 2025.
This was an EXCELLENT evening for reflection shots.
The water was sooo still...
I need to practice and learn more about doing shots like these.
My father, Anthony Attwell, getting a few reflection shots..
I have him to thank for my love of trains!
Reflection shot of the trees in an ice filled puddle. Today the rain and wind is fierce. The sun just broke through! Love the look!

It's been a long time since I spent any quality time here at the place which gave birth to my bird passion. I drove by several times during the summer, but only saw the swans. Yesterday I saw this gray heron so I parked and came back.
It was in the upper 90s and humid. Thankfully little wind. I like reflection shots, so I don't like wind. There was blue sky with a lot of puffy white clouds. A great day! A great egret flew in as well. No sign of my little egret friend, hope he's well. I had to leave just after noon to teach a class an hour drive away in traffic. Afterwards I returned here. But, on the way I got stopped at a train crossing, looked out to my right and saw some cattle egrets on my right. I grabbed my camera and got off a few shots and then pulled into a Brazillian supermarket parking area on my left and took some more shots. A great day. Looks like the same kind of weather today so it's time to get going. A bit of a late start for me.
Water Reflection shot of a wee boat in Irvine harbour. I like having reflection imaged turned reflection side up, I like how it makes it seem slightly more dream like.
Too much wind today for a reflection shot, but I keep trying. Still, a nice Fall day and it's fun to veer from the formula. (I still owe the owner the fall shot in the same format as the other seasons, but this one is proving difficult. Too much wind and by the time the colors really change, the leaves will all be down.). Summer shot is shown below.
That day we decided to head out and check the ArtScience Museum for the "Planet or Plastics?" exhibit, despite the gloomy weather. Definitely worth the trip and we were able to snap this shot right after the visit.
Definitely one of my favourite spots here in the Lion city, with all those dramatic clouds and mirroring reflections!
Shot with the Sony a7R III + Tamron 17-28 F2.8
This single feather was too large for a reflection shot, but I really wanted to see how this black feather on a black background would look. This eighteen shot stack focus image was processed using Nik Silver Efex.
Yet another reflection shot of Wick from new year's day morning this time looking towards the town bridge and Riverside care home, once the town's splendid Railway Hotel. Pictured from the well flooded riverside field. (1/1/2024)
Just about squeezed this in. A 3-car class 172 DMU crosses the Worcester Railway Bridge with the 06.59 Birmingham New Street - Hereford. A slight breeze meant the ripples on the River Severn wouldn't provide the perfect reflection shot.
Shot from the ground level to get as low as possible and get maximum reflection. had a high exposure and hence the ghosty reflections. Shot taken at Blue Waters, a prominent beach resort in Wadduwa, 20 kms south of Colombo, Srilanka.
This is one great spot to get some crazy reflection shots during Illuminations if the weather is cooperative. Thankfully, we had a great New Year's Eve and with no wind, it was almost perfectly still water.
Not many people were out due to the rain. So it was nice to see a few lone cyclists around which led to this partial reflection shot with the cityscape behind.
This was shot during a rainy period (early January) in Singapore.
CP 9830 and CSX 3374 accelerate through Plymouth with plenty of clear track after sitting at Humbolt for 20 minutes for an eastbound to get out of the way. Also notice the reflection off the swamp, with not much wind and hardly any clouds the reflection was perfect. Shoutout to the engineer for giving a few blasts of the P3 air horn!
This reflection shot was taken from a small mud puddle; I saw a few puddles in a parking lot and found this reflection of the fall colors from a nearby hill. I had to set the tripod up about two feet off the ground to see the reflection.
There will be many opportunities for reflection shots as the curtain walls rise at Hudson Yards. 35 HY is reflected on 15 HY here.

I had a near perfect reflection shot, then Venus wagged her dripping wet tail.
the cool rings are compliments of my crazy little one blue-eyed friend.

Along with the other images from the shoot I thought I'd try and get a snorkeling stock image. The ocean isn't normally so flat, but it was great to get such a clear reflection.

As the light faded, it became too dark to photograph the Bittern, so I was about to pack up and go. Then the brightest of moons started to rise up from behind the hill, illuminating the partially frozen lake. Time for some low key lit reflection shots! There were a couple of hundred Canada Geese, both on the water and on the ice, all ambling around and across the strip of moonlight. I just had to wait for one to stop in the middle and form a nice profile. I don't think it came out too badly, but moonlit wildlife photography is something to try again in the future.
The mid-train unit on CP 469 was CP 7019 (EMD SD70ACu). I elected to try a reflection shot here. May 9, 2021.
A flock of nearly 150 Long-billed Dowitchers flew nearly into me before turning. I brought the camera up, pointed in their direction, and began to shoot continuously...but undershot them. This reflection shot caught my attention as kind of interesting.
Hooray! I finally made it to BCE Place to shoot. What an amazing glass structure full of lines, pattern and reflection. Shot with my Sigma 10-20mm.
Angkor Wat is a must do of Cambodia. It is much richer in photography opportunities than just the reflection shot of the temple ( which I tried my hand at, the shot make follow). I spent a day walking around 4 of the different temple sites. This shot was taken at the main Angkor Wat site. It is the northern hallway, and was bathed in shadows from the morning light. I decided to go black and white in this shot as it shows off more of the textures and the contrast in the different layers.
Was hoping to get some early morning reflection shots with calm waters. But the wind gods were blowing!
Unedited puddle reflection shot of my bike trip. Taken with my Sony HX1. No editing :)
Last Thursday I went on a bike trip to Germany again, together with the lovely Miss A. We biked 180 kilometers, from Amsterdam to Enschede, in one day, and then had to spend the night in a crappy hotel because there were no trains anymore going to our final destination. The next day we biked the last 75 kilometers and had a fun weekend, there was a big festival going on and we met lots of nice people. Monday we came back home to the best city in the world, sadly we had to travel mostly by train because there was a major thunderstorm hovering above the Netherlands. The trip was great anyway and we'll go again soon I hope :)
I've made some movies of the road trip too, watch them on my YouTube channel, thank you :)
just got back from a quick drive down to Lily Lake to shoot some sunset shots...i was able to get some really nice reflection shots from the lake which was really mirror like and just enhanced the beauty of the sunset due to the reflections in the lake...this was one of my favorite frames where i got the silhouettes of a father and son fishing and enjoying their bonding moment together...i also took a shot of a little boy who wanted to show off a little fish that he caught...hope you were able to enjoy today's sunset as well...pls.
