Another reflection shot, but this one came out quite well, and i'm pleased with the leaves being just at the top of the shot.
Monmouth & Brecon Canal, Upper Llanover
February 17, 2016-Reflection flip. Today I took Buca out for a photo walk to the town green. I noticed last night that there was huge puddles after all the rain and I thought I would take a reflection shot. I originally had thought to have Buca in the photo (which I did get one), but I ended up loving how these trees reflected. After I had edited the photo, Josh came in and said did you try flipping it. I flipped it and ended up loving it because with the photo flipped your eye moves upward towards the beautiful colors instead of towards the grey blue.
Today I am thankful for photo walks, chats with friends, and other people's perspective. Another day done and dusted.
This is an image of a snowy egret, fishing for its breakfast at Ackerman Park on April 14, 2009. Ackerman Park is a county park built around a retention pond just east of interstate 75 ( see map ).
There was almost no wind blowing on this morning making for some good reflection shots. This little snowy egret was stalking fish when it stopped for about a minute and I was able to fire off about 20 shots and I thought this one was the best.
The birds usually are fishing along the northern shoreline of this retention pond and I would ride up in my truck, using it as a blind and get a few shots as I rested my 70-300 Nikon lens atop a towel resting on the window which I had down almost all the way with just a couple inches up.
I hope ya'll like it!

Just for fun! I was taking all these shots of herons and that stork and their reflections, and I noticed my sweet puppah getting into the act! I love her tail! Thanks for viewing! =o)

sorry about the glass reflection ...shot it from inside the car..only realised the folly later...:-(
Unedited water reflection shot of Amsterdam. Taken with a Sony HX200V. No editing, no magic tricks, no Photoshop :)
This Autumn season is really spoiling me with plenty or rain, new puddles get created almost every day and I really have to force myself not to spend all my time hunched over wet spots on the pavement, I mean, really, there are more important things in life then to take photos of wicked reflections, for example...hmmmm, can't really think of anything, maybe I'll come up with something while I'll shoot some more puddles, lol :D

Just a quick reflection shot for today. I went on another really fun photo walk with a wonderful (and huge) group of photographers. Many familiar faces and several new friends met as well. It was cold, but I knew it would be so I dressed warmly in extra layers. I also had two pairs of gloves on, one with fingers, then fingerless mittens over that and warming packs in each one. The group was moving on right as I decided to take this for my shot for the day. One of the guys from the group was still at the Bean and his gloves were off. I asked him to swipe my phone to turn it on, slide over to and hit the camera app so I wouldn't have to take off my gloves. My one other shot in the comments. I haven't even offloaded the shots from my DSLR. And I may not tonight. Too much to do to get ready for Monday.
Have a great week Flickr friends!
Filth! Obviously the current front end of the DBC shed on hire to DRS has recently been the rear end facing the spraying wagon and now having swapped sets (replacing 66 428) it is struggling to give any advance warning of its approach. AS can be judged by the spray enveloping the rear loco the RHTT was not hanging about and most unusually carried on spraying through platform 3!
Unexpectedly this morning the cloud had started to melt away so I, unwisely as it happened, decided to make the short trip to Cattawade to see if there would be a decent reflection shot again with the presence of a high pressure system still dominant. It was all a complete waste of time and effort though as the cloud once more socked in and the intermodals I journeyed out for went completely awry.
With my friend Paul, I spend five days in Osaka, Japan. The trip provided much refreshment, and excitement, not to mention many challenges. It was my first visit to the country, and, I feel, it certainly won't be my last, as there are still many places left to see, and so many new things to learn.
We had several destinations highlighted on our itinerary, the foremost of which was Universal Studios. We spend an entire day there, going on rides and more often than not, queuing for them. The excruciating wait times were worth it, however, for such exhilarating fun, especially on the Hollywood Roller Coaster, my personal favorite. The next morning we followed up that successful endeavor with a trip to the Himeji Castle, a place which came highly recommended by my colleague, whose succinct description of the heritage site was, "awesome." Indeed, as a history buff, I enjoyed walking the storied grounds and climbing through the maze-like interior of the keep which was designed not so much to comfortably house the royal family as to confound the invading enemy. The castle is a must-visit. Other attractions of note include the Osaka Aquarium, and the Tennoji Zoo; both teemed with animals of every shape and size. We also at length ventured into several shopping districts inside of which were myriad stores, selling all sorts of fashion and gadgetry, countless restaurants and several gambling parlors - the Japanese, it seems, love their slot machines as much as the Hong Kong Chinese love their horse racing. Lest I forget, we frequented several video arcades to play the latest and greatest games; Paul played well, while I more often than not got 0wn3d. There is a lot to do in Japan.
Japanese culture, of which I've heard so much, really is distinct and separate from other Asian cultures. Their patterns of action and their peculiar artifacts certainly aren't the same as those which feature prominently in Hong Kong. For one thing, the MTR culture was more civilized and less stressful: people queued up for trains and let passengers alight first before permitting themselves to board; cellphones never rang and cabin cars were as quiet as bedrooms at midnight; and to imagine all of these people enforce their norms without public service announcements, without any coddling, conspicuous signs - that's amazing. What proved difficult was trying to find a garbage can. It was easier to find a vending machine, from which one could purchase a variety of drinks or cigarettes, than a bin in which to dispose of these delectable, perishable goods.
As for the general citizenry, they were most accommodating and hospitable, with several individuals going out of their way to help Paul and I find our way around the dense sprawl of the city. Language wasn't a concern despite our limited Japanese; amazingly enough, our comfort was their concern! I won't forget their selfless service, as one day, I hope, I'll be able to return the favor. That the girls were quite attractive and that I demonstrated a propensity to ask attractive girls for directions go without saying; however, I understand now that their sexiness and sophistication stem not from comely faces but coherent attire. Rather than adorn themselves like a typical Mong Kok girl in a ridiculous neon rainbow palette, with jeans or unseemly spandex underneath dresses, skirts or other tops better left to stand alone, Japanese girls opt for more somber, sensible colors - black and cream-colored - and what's more, they aren't afraid to whip out the tasteful pantyhose or to show some skin, even. We had plenty of time to ogle the ladies, and to their credit, freezing temperatures weren't enough to dissuade many of them from forsaking, icing their shorts, as we saw countless pairs being worn on the street. That's what I call fashion professionalism!
Overall, Japan is a marvelous little land full of the eccentric, as well as the endearing. It was a fascinating place to explore, and I'm thankful that it was done in the company of my friend , with whom candor was not at a premium. We both learned a lot and look forward to the next trip!
These two followed me all along the pond. I got a great shot of them, but also the reflection shot of the trees
DEPOT MUSEUM ~ Batavia, Illinois
One of the society founders' dreams came true with the acquisition, moving, and renovation of the Depot Museum which was the abandoned Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Depot at Webster and Van Buren Streets erected in 1854.
Ive never been inside the museum but the building makes for a nice photo opp. On a really calm day the water makes a great reflecting pond but on this day, it was a bit windy so I didnt even bother to scope out a reflection shot opportunity.
Batavia, Illinois Riverwalk
Probably the last of my Sunrise Reflection shots from the beautiful buttermere, wanted to see how it worked in mono
Again a seven shot HDR
reflection shot, Bardavon 1869 Opera House, Poughkeepsie, NY. Art deco style gives the place a lot of character.
A chance of a reflection shot as the train passes flooded fields at Ker Moor near Blue Anchor on the West Somerset Railway.
I also got asked yesterday whats up with not many reflection shots of recent, and thinking about it I havent taken any for a little while so took a few yesterday, quickly processed this one just now and will post and then start getting motivated with the things I have to do today

The classic shot at Frodsham of the 1D34 Man Pic - Holyhead service. Unfortunately a group of canoeist paddled by a few minutes before the train passed otherwise it would have been a much clearer reflection shot.
thank you all for this !
I didn't expect that but I'm really happy that a reflection shot reached Explore FP !
Tomorrow I will post a strong portrait, hope you'll see it :)
I <3 you ! thanks for inspiring me
We hurriedly trotted with our tripods towards Swiftcurrent lakeshore in front of the historic Many Glacier Hotel. The previous night we had setup camp in Many Glacier Campground. There were high hopes about getting a good reflection shot of Grinnell point in the morning on Swiftcurrent lake. However when morning came, the winds made it very clear that they are gonna dance with the waves. So we sat at the shores praying for some good light on the sky and the mountains. Well prayers do sometimes get answered in a not so convenient way (big guy playing pranks on the lesser mortals ?). The rising sun did lite up the clouds that were almost directly above us, and there was no sign of any colors on the clouds that was surrounding the mountains. The mountains however had started getting alpenglow. So to improvise I decided to put on my 16-35mm wide angle, which could drag all that clouds on the top of the sky towards the mountains (squishing it in that process) making up a frame. I also put on my 3Stop hard GND to tone down the sky a bit, considering it was still dark and the lake was devoid of any reflections, thanks to an impertinent wind.
A detour around the puddle was required for this couple, but provided a nice reflection shot for me.
Various reflection shots, need to view all 5 in the set to fully appreciate. Taken with my Nikon 35mm SLR film camera and tripod, hence no exposure stats
... well, I couldn't resist one or two or more reflection shots LOL. This is one of them :)xx
To all my Flickr friends, thank you for joining in with my visit to the Chelsea Flower Show and for your lovely comments and faves. Wishing you all a wonderful weekend - may the sun shine for you xxx
this is really a reflection shot turned upside down to look like the actual mountain and sky. I find it somewhat confusing to look at due to the strangeness of the clouds and the 'wave' of the hill at lower right. Did anyone else find it strange at first sight? Or did you just think it was a blurry shot?
Since moving to Dorset it's taken me some time to find a location which I can indulge in my passion for colourful interesting sunset and water reflections. I've spent a lot of time poring over maps and satellite surveys trying to find a usable location.
You'll be amazed at how many large ponds, small lakes that are around that have no public access.
I was getting desperate.....I had found a good location which had public access down one side but on the wrong side for the sunset :-(
So the other night I snuck round the other side staying under the tree line to avoid being spotted from the estate house. Location was good but the sunset wasn't great.....but it had possibilities! Apart from all the horses that came to check me out.........if the estate owner looked out his upstairs windows.....he might wonder why all his horses were looking at one spot! So apart from sneaking around in a ghillie suit and trying to avoid inquisitive horses......not the ideal location.
But as you can see I've finally found somewhere which may have some nice possibilities for some great sunset reflections shots. And best of all.....public access!
Tip: When taking reflection shots, use the reflection along with the monitor to compose. This can be helpful when you want to get the photographer's face in the shot.
This is a place I've always wanted to go to and I finally made it in July 2004. I had a great there - just wish I brought better filters with me for the reflection shots.
Maroon Belle Peaks are located not too far from Aspen, Colorado.
There is so much I know nothing about - such as women, life, etc. - but especially cars. We were traveling through Tucson, AZ and read on Trip Advisor about a museum dedicated to Franklin cars. I had never heard of the museums or Franklins, but the write-ups made it sound like a cool place to visit - so we did - and both Heather and I are glad we did! What a lovely place to check out. It was a bit hard to find, in a residential section in a maze of one-way streets but we're glad we stuck to it. We were greeted by a volunteer guide that told us the history of the Franklin Motor Company - they were luxury autos from the 1920s to 1950s. The cars are in great shape - we wanted to go cruising in them. The guide told us it was a busy day for the museum - they had about 20 visitors. That is a shame - the place is fantastic and well worth the $5 admission. Check it out!! I took these photos in March 2014.
