Here the tide is only 20-30 cm, but that is enough that the beach is flooded and larger pools remain. These then give the opportunity to take interesting reflection shots. Of course, these pools reflect better than the turbulent sea.
...in Winchester Cathedral
'Sound II' by Antony Gormley (fashioned in lead from a cast of his own body)
Because of the high water table, the crypt in Winchester Cathedral is often flooded. Only a small flood is needed for the opportunity of some reflection shots. see comment box
This day was a dry day, but I was happy to find a photo for Saturday Self-Challenge: naturally framed
Well I was searching and scouring for a place to take a good reflection shot of Cathedral Rock. It was getting late in the day and I paid $12 to get into this park with 1 hour before it closed. Luckily as I followed the river toward the butte, it made an appearance in this calm pool in the river. Kris...
Eva gets a little scruffy. We do shave her coat down twice a year, but doing so at this time of year would be cruel given our winter temperatures in Saskatchewan.
I was at a loss of what to do for her photo this week and was trying reflection shots on the hardwood. I loved the natural light so I got her to stand up do a paw shot. When I saw her scruff highlighted against the dark background I knew that I had my concept. So I told her to stay and she did so until I got the shot. When I told her that we were done, she just ran immediately into the kitchen and stared at the cookie tin. She really is a pro model.
Do you ever go look at old images and realize you completely overlooked an image. I look at the ones I chose to process back then and how I processed them and realize I would not choose those images nowadays. This is an overlooked image, I've never touched it until tonight. I remember that evening - it was cold, in November but it was one of those years where the snow had held off. A beautiful evening, beautiful light and clouds, and the lake was still. I have some great reflection shots from that night. I hadn't realized just how far digital cameras had come until looking closely at this image - it doesn't have near the megapixels cameras have nowadays, the image had more noise than it should have had at those settings (I used a topaz noise removal program) but still...it was freeing to be able to experiment and not have to be concerned about film development costs.
……A phone shot from our last Cornwall holiday, took advantage of a puddle outside our beautiful and cosy Stable holiday let. Again the SmartPhone lends itself to low PoV reflection shots - the right tool for the job as the saying goes! Alan:-)…….

You may have noticed I quite like a reflection shot and I certainly couldn't pass up the chance of this shot at Zaandam station utilising the handy, and very shiny, ledge in the waiting room as a VIRM double deck unit 8681 rolls in with our connection to Sloterdijk. Jamie looks like he's in some kind of faceoff with himself...
I thought I found a great lake to do an great reflection shot. Someone else decided they wanted to ruin my shot. Living in Florida I can tell you have seen many alligators, he was by far the largest, He let me take a couple of shots and then I left his home respectfully.
This is the station I stop at the most as when it rains you can get some lovely reflection shots like this.

The Cormorants are early nesters and are busy gathering nesting materials. By gathering I mean they land in trees near their nest and, often with great struggle and fanfare, tear off a twig and fly it home to their nest. Their webbed feet do a pretty good job climbing and jumping around the trees. It’s a bit comical watching them finally manage to free up a twig only to see them drop it and have to start over. Some are better at it than others and sometimes, those not quite so capable, just seem to give up in frustration for a while. They are colonial nesters making it nice for photographers who get multiple opportunities for shots as they tend to fly to the same trees for nesting material over and over again. This particular one, flew lower than normal and gave me a nice splash and reflection shot. (Double-crested Cormorant - Nannopterum auritum) (Sony a1, 400mm @ f/2.8, 1/2500 second, ISO 2000)
This shot was taken approximately 30 min previous to the photo I uploaded yesterday. I wanted to emphasize the pre-dawn "coolness" and hoped to contrast it with some nice alpenglow... which I was lucky enough to get in later shots as seen in yesterday's posting. It was perfect conditions for great reflection shots... again... an iconic shot, not overly creative, but compositionally it worked for me as did the colours and hues.

Well I waited patiently on the rocks in the cold for the sun to peak though the clouds and light up the sky in a bright pink. But that didn't happen and this was the best I could get on that day, well that and the reflection shot I posted previously. Hope you enjoy them and let me know which one is your favorite and why!! Kris...
Took a walk behind the truckstop this morning. There's a small lake that I wanted to take some reflection shots of. Which I did, but noticed these horses nearby, so walked over that direction a bit and saw the new colt. Wanted to get closer, but apparently they had the "stranger danger", warning and decided to move along.
A crisp, calm December afternoon from 2021 saw me spend the day up in Glencoe with the inevitable trip to Ballachulish to get the reflection shot looking back across Loch Leven towards Glencoe village and the Pap of Glencoe.
I only recently finished this roll of film, but luckily good images never go out of date!

I was out shooting photos for a client. It had been raining a lot. I walked in the back lot and saw all these puddles in the rocks and got excited - there had to be a good reflection shot somewhere. I took a bunch but none were as exciting as this one. I really liked the color version and wondered if it would work in black and white. It really does! Gives a completely different feeling, I really like it!
Last September we headed to Fort Bragg, a coastal town in northern California. The glass beach is supposed to have lots of polished sea glass, but we could not find much. There is however an interesting ocean pool, perfect for a reflection shot.
I processed a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, and carefully adjusted the curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

I was about to take some reflection shots of Cockenzie Harbour (East Coast of Scotland) when Joe, local fisherman came to me and said: 'You should have come at 5.30am, it was a beautiful sunrise this morning!'
We started to chat and turned out he has five other jobs next to being a fisherman, because 'You just never know what tomorrow brings.'
When I asked him how was it out there this morning, he said 'Always changing... that's why we're called fisherman you know, not collectors... but all in all, it was enough for today's rent...'
If you read my previous post you’ll know that I passed on shooting the beach huts at Llanbedrog, as the conditions didn’t look that favourable for a sunrise. Instead I walked further down the beach towards Pwllheli having spotted the trees above the beach on the left of this shot, which I thought might offer a decent reflection shot in the various pools of water.
Eventually as the sun popped above the distant mountains, the sky lit up presenting a cracking sunrise. Amongst the shots I took was this 10 shot panorama, which, even though I was as as low as I could get, I still couldn’t get a decent reflection of the trees, without sacrificing other elements of the shot, such as the cormorants perched on the shingle piles in the distance.
Last summer I took a day off, and did a road trip in the Swiss Alps and nearby Südtirol in Italy. After Davos I passed by the Flüelapass, a high mountain pass leading to Zernez in the Engadin. There was hardly any wind, perfect for a reflection shot, holding the camera just above the water surface.
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.

Another reflection shot with still water, that turns out as if looking into a deep abyss.
Can the hounds of hell escape from this dreadful place?
Taken on a very dark and wet Norway day, but like everywhere else beauty is there where you want to see it.
Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- Trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).
We spent some days in Kyoto, Japan. Timing was perfect for Hanami, or cherry blossom viewing. After witnessing sunset at the iconic Kiyomizu-dera Buddhist temple, we went to nearby Ninenzaka, a charming pedestrian area known for its classic architecture, tea houses & cherry blossoms. Later at night I walked over to Maruyama Park, which was quite busy with Hanami. There was no wind, perfect for a reflection shot over a pond.

This is the Seattle skyline as seen from the waterfront just south of Bell Harbor. I have to give Seth Oliver credit for the inspiration for this shot as he is the urban reflection master, so this is a little tribute. Check out his stuff here: www.flickr.com/photos/setholiver1/ he's got some killer cityscape reflection shots.
Thanks for stoping by and checking out my work and have a great week ahead.
Arrived, looked like a mirror, grabbed the camera and tripod, took the huge 3 min walk to togging location and this was the only (reflection) shot I managed to get off before Billy wind had his say...........
One of my favorite shot for my short photography career up to now.
Mt.Mckinley is the highest peak in north US and most of the time it is covered by heavy cloud. To take a perfect morning reflection shot, the best spot is at the reflection pond, which is 86 miles deep in the Denali National Park and you have to camp there in order to get to the pond in the early morning, as personal vehicles are not allowed in the park. When we were booking the campground, for the entire week of my vacation, only in Friday were there available sites, and we had no choice but took it. But finally It turned out that's the only day that you can see Mt.Mckinley perfectly for that week. What a lucky and destined decision. Finally I got this breathtakingly beautiful photo of perfect Mt.Mckinley reflection.
This is the black and white version and the colored version is also in my album.
Two different generations of EMDs sit at the fuel racks in Willmar yard. The warmer temps offered some reflection shots.
I would like to thank all my flickr friends and contacts for all the support given over 2012, it has been much appreciated.
Wishing you all the very best for the 2013.

As the sun rose above the distant horizon, the golden light shimmered on the sea as if the sun was forming from the melted reflection.

I took this photo of St. Paul's Cathedral in London from across the street at the One New Change building. I have seen this reflection shot before, but I wanted to see how well the phone's camera would be able to handle the contrasting areas of the scene. I was blessed with blue sky and some white cloud during the shoot.

With the sun just starting to rise over the hillside behind me, CN potash train B730 passes by the lake, as they start their descent down into Saint John, New Brunswick. This is one of the better reflection shots here that I've been able to get.

Another reflection shot from Jackson Lake - didn't want to neglect the banks of the lake and just focus on the mountains, as it was equally as tranquil & serene.
St Johns Point Lighthouse near Killough, County Down. It's surrounded by a myriad of rock pools, each one giving great reflection shots of the lighthouse itself :)

I was hoping to get the familiar 'reflection' shot of the abbey in the pool but the stiff breeze put paid to that!
Still makes a decent image though.
The exhibition park lake in Newcastle upon Tyne. This lake and the building in the centre of the photograph were created for the great exhibition of 1929. The building which is called the palace of arts is the only one still standing from the exhibition of 1929. Over the years the building has been a science museum but now hosts the Wylam brewery. The lake itself has gone from being a boating lake to a haven for wildlife. I took these photographs while heading to the hoppings on the town moor, which is just behind the palace of arts, in June 2019. If you look carefully you may see some of the rides in the background. I was well pleased with theses reflection shots.
the sunset was magical on the night we spent at the Lockhouse
this was the reason I was able to get all those cool reflection shots

I was electrified by the suudden burst of rainpour at 5:00 pm this afternoon. GO! Get the reflection shot now!
This is a pond that is a short walk up from the campground at Ward Lake. I took a hike to the ponds hoping to get nice reflection shots off of the water. I was a little surprised to see the dead trees next to the pond when it had this much water, but it might have dried up the last couple of years with the drought. It looked pretty nice this year though.
St Pauls Cathedral shining bright at night at Christmas. I'd gone to this spot to find the new water feature that has recently been built in front of a new office development. Either by design or by happy accident this water feature gives an amazing reflection shot of the cathedral which I shall post later. But going back over my photos I really liked this one. In a way it reminds me of that famous photo of St Pauls taken in the blitz.
A Northern Fulmar streaking along the glass-like waters allowed for some perfect reflection shots - - Svalbard Norway
Having spent a couple of hours trying to catch up with the Sinfin tanks Rob and I ended up on the Redheugh Bridge and with slack water on the Tyne a reflection shot was on for the passing of 1S21 Kings Cross to Edinburgh until a guy turned up in his boat.
The interior of the car is reality, the rest is reflection. Shot at the parking area of a supermarket.
First of all I cannot claim all the credit for this image, As I said in my previous shot from here ,https://www.flickr.com/photos/17469730@N00/33460641475/in/datetaken-public/ .
I had put my tripod with camera on the wall to try and get the reflection shot I wanted however, I was unable to get a good shot of the reflection , There was a photog who had climbed over the wall already with the aid of a stepladder and saw me trying to get a shot, he kindly offered to take my camera and take a shot for me so i did my settings and passed it over as there was no way I could have got over that high wall , Many thanks to the anonymous photog for helping me out that evening .
