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.
I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Taken at Llwyn Onn Reservoir last weekend. I wanted to get some reflection shots and came home with so many shots so it will take me ages to go through them all! My OH when asked whether he liked this image just said "Hmmm" which is translated as "no I don't like it - as it is too morose but don't want to hurt your feelings!" Please don't worry about hurting my feelings if you don't like my shot though!!!!
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.
The ever-popular pond at Mogshade in the New Forest. Odd name perhaps, and as Amanda Scott in her blog explains, it's from the old English meaning "the shadow of trees". Apart from the row of trees here, there are hardly any others, it being one of the highest and most exposed viewpoints in the Forest. Apparently it was once covered in ancient hollies which is obviously where the name comes from, but these were destroyed in a fire in the early 20th century. Talking of 20th century history, it was also the site of a large allied forces gathering prior to D-day with the Canadian War Memorial close by.
However, it's such a good spot for sunrises, at any time of year and with stillness in the water, a reflection shot is hard to resist, even if it has been done many times before!
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.

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.
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.

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

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.

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 .

After our rushed sunset shoot at Kirkjufellsfoss (see my image Take Me to Church Mountain) and the “missed” epic sunset the next day (see my image The Unexpected), we used the gained time to inform ourselves about the Westfjords and to buy the tickets for the ferry which should leave from Stykkishólmur the next day. We also thought: there are certainly some grocery stores in the Westfjords where we can stock up our supplies, but let’s ask Google just to be on the safe side. And good it was, because it turned out that the nearest grocery stores were more than an hour away from our arrival point and nowhere close to the three places we planned to go. Since our ferry was scheduled to leave at 3:15 p.m., we had plenty of time to do some grocery shopping before then. Having roughly planned the next day, we finally went to bed, this time a little earlier than usual, since for once we were not shooting the blue hour.
Since we didn’t photograph sunrise the next morning either, we had a relaxed breakfast, packed up our things and headed to the Bónus supermarket in Stykkishólmur. On our way, we were approaching the impressive Kirkjufell again and my girlfriend said: How about we try again to get such a nice reflection shot down at the lake? Two days ago, after our rushed sunset shoot, I noticed that everyone was standing right next to Kirkjufellsfoss and literally no one was down at the lake. After telling my girlfriend about the possibility to get such a reflection shot, I didn’t need any further convincing and so we headed down. In my mind I had an image of the majestic Kirkjufell mountain bathed in various shades of blue as the light continued to fade, along with a beautiful reflection in the water that would add a very nice symmetry to the composition. We had almost all ingredients together for a wonderful image, but I hadn’t thought about the shallow angle of the remaining light, which created a not very appealing shadow of Kirkjufell in the water instead of a nice reflection. Also, the wind picked up, so even a 30s exposure didn’t smooth out the water as much as I would have liked. The picture I took is still beautiful, but it seems to be missing something, and therefore I decided to show you the picture I took this morning on our way to Stykkishólmur.
After my girlfriend mentioned the reflection shot, it was immediately clear to me that it could work this morning, as it was almost completely windless. Moreover, the sun was already higher in the sky, which meant that the angle of light should now be perfect for getting the shot we were hoping for. So we stopped at the parking lot, payed the parking fee for the third time in a few days, and went down to the lake. And there it was: A perfect reflection of this majestic colossus! And to top it off, we also got some moody clouds in the sky right above church mountain. So we set up our tripods, put on our filters with which we smoothed out the few little ripples in the water, and left this place after an hour with a big grin on our faces that got even bigger when we though about the adventure of exploring the Westfjords in the next few days. I hope you like it!
PS: My girlfriend is quite new to photography, but has a really good eye for compositions and I think she would be very happy if you would check out her profile too: www.flickr.com/photos/193130995@N02
I was invited to take photos of a big rocket launch by a space startup company 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 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 added an infrared false-color filter. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Probably the most perfect reflection shot I've ever taken.
Passenger season is two weeks from the end as the Alaska Railroad's premier train, the Denali Star (230S) rolls south behind a pair of SD70MACs about 45 min from their destination of Anchorage after an all day 12 hr run from Fairbanks. This location is at MP 144.8 on ARR's mainline few miles north of the siding of Eklutna and right beside the Glenn Hwy but is very challenging to shoot.
I'd wanted to figure out how to get this shot for years, but between the highway and the tracks is a permafrost bog. Well, this particular year it was such a warm summer I just put on my Keen sandals and shorts and waded out there into the water above my knees to get this angle. It necessitated getting here early then staying perfectly still to allow the water to calm and then not redisturb it, but I do believe it was worth the effort!

That moment when standing out on a cold wet night pays off. Taking a trip to London for a night shoot to catch some trails started with a bit of a travel nightmare but ended with some great shots. This is St Paul's cathedral in London with some passing busses providing some extra lighting
Its funny that each time I come to this station, im trying another shot, and I always end up with a puddle reflection shot. I do like the X shape of this image

A nice sunny morning walk in the pier zone last Sunday, so full of life! I enjoyed a lot trying some reflection shots, like this one :)
Sitting quietly on the river bank, planning a reflection shot when these little guys swam by. I didn't have a larger lens with me, so I made the best of what I did have. Sometimes, you've just got to count your blessings.
This is the same pond where I took the Milky Way reflection shot, this is a morning shot.
Clear skies, calm winds, all other ponds in the area freeze over at night but this one remains ice free. I'm thinking the water might be deeper in this pond, taking longer to cool.
So, it was my first week living in California this past week and I’ve already been in an earthquake, hail storm, thunderstorm, heavy downpours, high winds: you name it! This past Wednesday, it just POURED practically all day in SoCal. Undeterred, and in fact excited, I grabbed my camera, and met up with my Disney pal Caleb and his roommate. We trekked around The Disneyland Resort for those epic reflection shots. Violate weather aside, we totally hit the jackpot on this particular evening: puddles, reflections: EVERYWHERE! Carsland is just…incredible in these conditions for photography! Lots more shots coming from this night for sure!
After our recent run of storms many of the fields around Barrow on Trent are utterly water logged. One such field provided a reflection shot of 66707 Sir Sam Fay heading 4F62 East Midlands Gateway to Seaforth.
That was single handedly the best display of the aurora borealis that I've ever seen! I made the trip to Speedwell Lake and was fortunate that the lake was like a mirror most of the night. I always wanted to get a reflection shot of the aurora, it was nice to be able to do it so close to home!
37610 passes a flooded Brentingby on 28th October 2019 working 3Q76 March - Derby RTC test train
This is my 1st real effort at getting a reflection shot as there arent many possibilities, if any, round our area
Whilst I was there a chap from Environment Agency turned up to check the water level. Apparently this area is flooded deliberatly to prevent Melton Mowbray from flooding. Although the amount of water this season is exceptional he said there were further contingencies to prevent larger flooding
We headed to Fort Bragg, a coastal town in northern California. The glass beach is supposed to have lots of sea glass. But we could not find much. There is however an interesting ocean pool, perfect for a reflection shot.

it was really fun exploring this really beautiful creek, Oak Creek, by Red Rocks Crossing.....there's actually a couple of shallow bathing pools up this creek and another shallow part of the creek that is so still that you can get amazing reflection shots of the Cathedral Rock formation....pls. View On Black
One of the things I enjoy about photographing wading birds like this Great Egret is that you sometimes get the chance to get an awesome reflection shot. You have to be really patient though and quick on the trigger.
Everyone was swarming the creek which marred the traditional reflection shots. Settled for the desert landscape at sunset.
Some space at the Tate St Ives...
Simply because I wanted to…
I have no recollection of doing this at all..none. Put on in a hurry because Jonathan needs to use my PC to do his tax returns again today and he took all day yesterday but some part had been changed and he was over four hours and failed so got to try again..
He is not happy and neither am I tbh….
I have the use of my PC once again as Jonathan got his Tax sorted out so would like to add this is a double exposure done on Ps using a reflections shot of a mall gallery/ shop and one of my photos of the Tate St Ives...
i had completely forgotten this but i do like how the building of the Tate lined up with the shop window frame....thank you for looking.. Sue :)
Last December I headed to Chur, a regional capital in the Swiss Alps. I went to high school there at the Kantonsschule. There was a Christmas market in the old part of the town. At times it was raining heavily. I ended up at the Arcas square for this reflection shot. There are concerts and other activities at this square in the summer.
