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.
Two different generations of EMDs sit at the fuel racks in Willmar yard. The warmer temps offered some reflection shots.
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...........
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 :)

The interior of the car is reality, the rest is reflection. Shot at the parking area of a supermarket.
Compositionally Challenged
Week 46: Reflections
Shot with a KMZ "Helios-33 35 mm F 2" lens on a Canon EOS R5.
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 .
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

Shot for Crazy Tuesday - old and new
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!
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

Everyone was swarming the creek which marred the traditional reflection shots. Settled for the desert landscape at sunset.
No double exposure! Reflection shot through the glass wall of a streetcar shelter. The woman is part of a photo advertisement for the montan university Leoben.
Look at the yellow - see the woman, look at the blue - see the building.
Another of this serires of reflection shots, it was a morning that I will never forget and it will probably never be equalled, I hope you all enjoyed them as much as I witnessed it happening in front of my eyes and recording the events!
My today's Sunday slide is loosely based on yet another reflection shot. I hope everyone is having a ball like these moschus ox. Happy Sliders Sunday!
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.
I processed a balanced and a paintery 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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

A little bit of fun. I couldn't resist flipping this reflection shot over. After this weekend we probably won't be going to the beach because it will be crowded with people.
Dogs aren't allow on the beaches around here and I don't like to push our luck when they are officially open.
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!

I took this photo of the Royal Pavilion in Brighton from the east facing aspect of the building. I have been wanting to get this reflection shot for some time, but it was a bit of challenge as the pond is quite small. I decided that the blue sky of the day would create a dramatic feel in black and white.
This photo was featured by O2 UK on Instagram.

When I woke up in Lone Pine, the sky was overcast and didn't look good for photography at all. As the sun rose, the clouds became more interesting and I loved this view after the Father Crowley Lookout. I stopped and took some shots with different framing and loved this one. This sky wasn't going to help with the reflections shot I was looking for at Lake Manly though. When I got to the lake, the conditions were pretty bad and had to wait until evening to try again.
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.
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!
My good friend, Steve Riddle and I, hiked to Bench Lake. Steve had told me previously about this beautiful lake. It was clouded over so we couldn't see the mountain. I instead went with Plan B, and took a couple of reflection shots. Shortly after I took these two shots, the water started rippling so I caught these shots just in time.
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
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 :)
When the sky comes out to play and the waters quite still theres nothing better than a reflection shot. You don't need that much of a subject just a case of being there at the right time. This is taken from Ferry Hut in Runcorn, the old location for the original ferry that took passengers between Runcorn and Widnes across the River Mersey. The Manchester Ship canal now separates the river from the shore on the Runcorn side

The Chinese Pistache tree in front of our home is showing itself in bright red colors right now. I poured water over the street pavement for a reflection shot - I took this shot in the blue hour after sunset.

I haven't seen this beautiful male this year at Steigerwald. Today I got multiple looks, including this more unique drinking/reflection shot on Gibbon's Creek.
Had a lovely walk around Saltram with the dog this morning, the Plym Estuary was looking gorgeous. There was no wind and a slight bit of mist on the water when I arrived, but by the time I got down to Saltram Beach the mist had disappeared. This is a mobile phone shot as I didn't take my camera with me, so quality isn't as good as I'd like it to be. I just can't resist a good reflection shot ;)
I got several reflection shots of this area, but this is my favorite. The reflections in the water were gorgeous. This was as far as we walked along the strip. We started at the Tropicana, so I was getting tired by the time we got to the Venetian. Then for the l-o-n-g walk back to where we parked our car.This was taken about 2 am, so there weren't as many people to contend with getting in the shots. Taken in front of the Venetian.
I hope you will take a second to View On Black
I'll be back later to visit your streams and get caught up with everyone.
Thank you very much for your visits, comments and encouragement. It's much appreciated!
Have a great Friday and wonderful weekend!
PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THIS PHOTO OR ANY OTHER PHOTO IN MY STREAM AND ADD IT TO A "GALLERY" IN YOUR STREAM.......I WILL BLOCK YOU! THANK YOU!!

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.
I finally got round to editing some more pics of New Zealand. Here we have a sunrise pic from the very end of lake Wakatipu at Glenorchy. Wandering round he delta on a still morning meant there were plenty of reflection shots to be had.
White Pocket, Arizona. Not the best light, but it's always fun to find a pool of water in the desert and get a reflection shot.
Week 6 of 2024 has been a little unusual for the desert. We got quite a bit of rain. On average the Phoenix area gets about 9 inches (~23cm) of rain/year. And this week we probably got about an inch (~2.5cm) total. Jasper does not like getting wet so that limited the frequency and places we walked. Standing water in the green spaces. I rarely get to take water reflection shots of Jasper, so I took the opportunity. Jasper was not all that amused by posing in front of a giant puddle, but he did it anyway.
