This is the San Joaquin River near Jackass Meadow. We missed the aspens changing color by a couple of days and I didn't bring my fishing pole. So I set up the tripod and tried to get some nice reflection shots. It was a difficult task because the wind had started to pick up. I had to patiently wait for the wind to calm down enough to get shots like this one. It is such a beautiful location that I didn't mind waiting.

another couple of shots from yesterday at the pool a long tailed tit ,first since lockdown and the grey wagtail posing nicely for a reflection shot

Esplanade reflections - shot with a6000 and kit lens, and processed in Lightroom.

With green airglow in the sky, we arrived back at the parking lot with a couple of minutes to spare, so we went to a nearby puddle that I had scouted earlier for a quick reflection shot before departing.

Just like my last Oregon coast shot, it proved hard to retrace my footsteps to find out JUST where this was taken, my only guess being it was south of Bandon. On one of the descending trails from the forested cliffside to the beach I instantly spotted a haystack rock in the water.

This left me with a couple of options. I could try for a sideline shot of the beach and focus on the rock, but that would be a bit generic and probably not the best looking. I could get a full reflection shot when the waves receded (which was a better idea, and I did end up getting that too).

But then I saw these two rocks and tried another composition. Recalling Starvation Creek, I knew there was potential in a wedged shot. But the saving grace of this shot was really the logs at the bottom of the frame, helping provide a good foreground and some of them even pointing out to the rock.

Now admittedly I did cheat a little bit. The haystack rock was much smaller in the original shot and I couldn't bring out my 200m cause I had the foreground I wanted right here. So I pulled out another one of my shots with a closer and more detailed view of the rock (learned my lesson from previous shots, enlarging something already in the frame more often then not just ends in the subject looking softer). The rest of the image you see has not been tampered with (and it was the only frame in this position I had strangely). It looks reminiscent of a national park poster with the oil-like art style.

Shot on iPhone 11 Pro.

My long runs are getting boring (my normal running mates are injured) so took a bit of a different route. Gave me a reflection shot of a different angle to my normal "went for a run, saw a reflection" shot.

This was one of my last efforts to get a reflection off of Lake Manly during the morning. This area was protected a little from the wind and gave me a start of a nice reflection. The clouds from the morning had left and I decided to go up to Dante's view to see what the view looked like from there.

The wind is always a concern when trying to get reflections shots and it is compounded when you bring up Death Valley. It is almost always blowing wind here. When I went to the visitor center, the weather for the next day was supposed to have 20 to 40 mph winds. I was hoping and praying that the wind would die down today. Tomorrow wasn't going to work.

hello Flickr friends....i just got back from our trip in Sedona and the Grand Canyon...we're still in San Diego though for another 3 days and then we head to Toronto for the last part of our trip.....this was one of my first shots of the Red Rocks in Sedona...this one is called Cathedral Rock and i took this shot from a dammed section of Oak Creek which allowed the water to be still enough to get some decent reflection shots.....took a bit of a hike to to get to this place and when you've just driven 7 hours, it gets to be a bit of a challenge too to push yourself to go out and explore right away....with views like this one, i totally forgot right away that i was dead tired....

shot this using a circular polarizer with a tripod, using my kit lens for my D90 an 18-105mm.....pls.View On Black

sorry if i've been slow in visiting your streams lately but i will try my best to catch up with your streams as soon as my vacay is done......have a good one friends!!!!

The fourth of five reflection shots, all sufficiently different to merit posting.

Last night over the Mackinac Bridge the fog blanketed the air so thick. There was a really good chance to see the lights. The KP was high but the clouds and fog made it nearly impossible. I still managed to get a really cool reflection shot with a glimpse of lights? Maybe I don’t know. But it kinda looks like it a little but I just love the colorful reflections in the water

reflection shot, using Nikkor 10.0-24.0 mm f/3.5-4.5

After a great afternoon of photography, the clouds lined up nicely for a few brief moments as the sun set so that I could get this reflection shot.

Taking a nice reflection shot of the King's Arms in Seaton Sluice when this guy sailed through the shot. I told him I had to take his photo as he sailed on as it's not a shot I was going to capture every day. Quick as a flash, he said, "I hope you get me on the way back with some fish." That's when I realised he had the fishing rod.

This might be my favorite shot from White Pocket. I was lucky to find three pools of water in the area, two of which made for some very nice reflection shots…and a nice way for my dogs to cool off in the desert heat! ;) I loved how on this morning the clouds did that pillowy thing almost mimicking the pillowed shape of the stone. It was a lovely morning wandering about this amazing place without another soul around.

Thanks as always for stopping by for a look!

Found a still piece of the stream to try for some reflection shots.

Wet shoes are well worth it sometimes. Do you agree?

After hiking at the Land of Medicine Buddha in the Santa Cruz mountains I went for sunset at the Twin Lakes State Beach in Santa Cruz, California. The sun was peaking through the clouds at times, and the sea was quite rough. Later at the blue hour I noticed a bird walking on a log. I hunkered down to get a reflection shot of the bird and the Walton Lighthouse in the back.

We wandered up the beach after the sunrise to catch a few light reflection shots and some pier silhouettes.

I was watching this Little Egret hunting in the shallows and waited until it came to an area close-by that offered a chance of a reflection shot.

Taken on the Somerset Levels.

Well yesterday I popped down to the beach at Sandy Bay to get some reflection shots of the boats at High Tide and the cloud suddenly turns Independence Day on me and you end up with a pretty cool images

We had dinner at the iconic Old Ebbitt Grill, which is located a stone throw away from the White House in Washington DC. Former Vice President Mike Pence was dining with his family in the booth next to us. After dinner I went by my own for a night shoot at the National Mall. I first went to the Washington Monument, where I met a friendly Secret Service member on a bicycle. We spoke in English, Japanese, and Italian. He speaks 5 languages, like me. He studied Japanese at the Nanzan University in Nagoya, where I used to live for many years. Later I walked over to the Lincoln Memorial. The reflecting pool was mostly solid frozen. I found a spot with water, which invited me to take this reflection shot.

Taken on our recent holiday to Slovakia.

The previous reflection shot was the spot where this was taken. I had a few perches etc placed about the place. It's not one I have the opportunity to photo often around here. So to be able to get any sort of shot is a bonus for me.

Thanks to all who view and comment on my images, much appreciated :)

Found this on an SD card today. High ISO and quite a crop, but I like it nonetheless.

When you are a travel photographer, you discover some locations quite by accident that turns out to be exceptional. Sparks Lake in central Oregon is one such location for me. I only heard about this spot on my second trip to Oregon, even though we passed through the nearby town on both trips. It was a billboard that informed me about the location. I knew immediately the kind of shot I wanted, and a perfectly calm lake was essential for the photo. This being a mountain pass, my past experiences have taught me that the best chance for a reflection shot is at sunrise.

So we woke up at five and drove up the mountain pass to Sparks Lake to be on time for the sunrise. Unfortunately, the day we picked turned out to be cloudless, and it being summer, the light was coming in from behind the mountain. As a landscape photographer, I have been adept at working with less than optimal situations by then. Since the sky was rather bland, I decided to include very little of it in my composition, instead focusing on the rock formation that I was standing on. I wish I had paid more attention to the polarization effect on the sky, though. But I am still happy with the image.

After substantial rains in May and early June, I had the luxury of some reflection shots.....albeit with a bland sky. This is an image taken late in the day. The next morning is also featured in my photostream.

The house on the loch

Another reflection shot from Loch Ard. This one featuring a house on the lochside.

Standing in receding floodwaters at a Crystal Springs Pond, my first northern lights' reflections shot.

This period of skies dark enough to see stars/northern lights + open (not frozen) water is so brief, I was excited about this opportunity.

Night sky is still pretty bright at 11:40 pm.

Reflection shot at a shopping centre, the ceiling is at the bottom. One of my playful shots, don't normally publish these but this one was quite interesting.

I've only ever seen a couple of these birds and both were in The Okavango, in Botswana. This one was much more intent on the water than on our quiet presence and the surface was still enough for a nice reflection shot.

Another one - This one almost touched the water with its feathers! I realized that the reflection shots are only possible in the morning in this location! The opposite bank is quite muddy and impossible to step into anytime of the day!

Thanks for your views / feedback. Please stay safe and healthy.

We went to visit friends in nearby Saratoga, a town in the Silicon Valley, California. They have a kitchen with a shiny marble kitchen top, which invited me to take a reflection shot.

I arrived in my hometown Schuders in the Swiss Alps, happy and tired. This is a shot from June when I got up very early in the morning to drive across the Swiss Alps to reach Milano Malpensa airport in northern Italy. I stopped at Sufersee (Sufer Lake) before sunrise to take this reflection shot in the blue hour.

Last year we went to the Pfeiffer Beach in Big Sur, California. This beach is famous for the keyhole, a hole in a rock out on the ocean. The sun light shines right through the keyhole at sunset, but only in December and January when the sun is low. This reflection shot is facing the rocks located in the ocean.

and its all chairs........!

I managed to capture a few reflection shots with the R5 before the tide went too far out

I took a day off for a road trip in the Swiss Alps and nearby Südtirol in Italy. At Davos I stopped at the Lake Davos for this reflection shot. You get better reflections if you hold the camera very low, with the fingers touching the water.

Some years ago, we did a road trip through some of the American southwest's iconic locations, including stops at Sedona, Monument Valley, Lower Antelope Canyon, and the Grand Canyon National Park. One of the most surprising places during the visit was Sedona, as I had not heard about it much before. The only spot I had in mind was the Crescent Moon Picnic Area which had a great view of the famous Cathedral Rocks.

If I remember this correctly, our timing was a bit off, and we missed peak fall colors by a week, but there was still a bit of color left over on the cottonwood trees that adorned the park, and views here turned out to be some of the most stunning that I have seen. A slick rock area in the park has these massive scars leading up to the rock formations in the background. Sometimes this area has puddles in these holes that make it possible to take a nice reflection shot but even without the water, they worked well for this image. I am glad I found this image while reviewing my old files.
