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

Over a weekend last summer I planned to escape to the Tessin, the Italian speaking part of Switzerland. I scrapped that plan because of heavy 60+mm rain forecast. Plan B was to take a gondola in nearby St. Gallen, and hike along a high mountain ridge. The clouds were favorable. It turned out that the gondola & restaurant were closed due to a private family event. I looked on the map for other interesting places nearby, and ended up at the Werdenberg castle in Buchs, St. Gallen. Plan C turned out nice. The old town of Werdenberg located just below the castle is amazing, and has very well preserved old buildings. While walking among the buildings I noticed that the sky lit up. I raced to the other side of the lake to catch this 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 desaturated the image. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

I was in two minds about posting this but thanks to Steve, I did. Thank you so much Steve for being a wonderful friend! :-)

Reflection of my cam in my eye! My first attempt at a reflection shot!

Just a fun reflection shot at a car museum.

This is from the 2014 Portland's Christmas Ships Parade that operates off the dock by the River Place Hotel. The still water caught an almost clear image of the squiggle tree. The fire engine boat usually dashes about with its siren wailing. Here it stopped by the dock long enough for a good reflection shot.

The annual tradition of Christmas Ships gathering in fleets to parade up and down the Willamette and Columbia Rivers celebrates its 72nd year in 2025. www.christmasships.org

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.

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

I went down to my local park where I have gotten some good reflection shots of the pond there and saw this. The green really stood out to me, so I decided to forgo the pond.

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

Bridge Cuts, Frank and partners' hairdressing salon, sits on the road just below the railway bridge and just above the River Itchen.

Sometimes my short walk from the car park along the river path yields photo opportunities; sometimes I make my own as I did yesterday when I asked Frank if he would pose for a mono portrait.

Being a photographer himself, he was happy to oblige, and, looking round at the array of mirrors, I suggested we try for a reflection shot. I think it worked OK and I was lucky to arrive for my appointment in a pause in Frank's busy stream of hairdressing clients.

I'm sending him some photos with thanks for indulging me and I hope he is having a restful Sunday.

The third and final reflection shot from my trip to Coyote Buttes South. The light was poor - not a cloud to be seen - but I was so lucky to be there after rain.

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!

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.

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.

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

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 :)

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.

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

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

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.

After Vik we drove east and for destination Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, located in the south-eastern region of Iceland. On the way we found a still pond next to the road, perfect for a reflection shot. In the back in the center you can see the Fjallsárlón Glacier, to the right is a bit of the big Jökulsárlón Glacier. Both glaciers are fed by Vatnajökull, the largest and most voluminous ice cap in Iceland.

Probably I´m one of the most camera-shy persons here at flickr. Though I really love the camera..... but only if it is not pointing at me. From time to time I find myself in some reflection shots like this one. And I think how odd this shyness is...

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!!!!

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.

Week 29 Reflections

Shot with an Enna "Correlar 80 mm F 2.9" lens on a Canon EOS R5.

I shot this lovely bit of light on Saturday night, I had just finshed a wedding and on my out for the evening I saw clouds I thought would play for me. So i turned the car and hit my local harbour. I saw the tide was in (for once) and i knew I wanted to do a reflection shot, because my local area is crap generally for foreground detail. So i shot this verto with my ND110 to smooth the water out over a 20s exposure so i could see the relection better. I love this time of year for colour i'll be making my D300 work over time i think now, lol

Enjoy peeps :-)

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. More at "Colin Pacitti Wildlife Photography & Fishing Travels" - www.colin-pacitti.com.

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

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

CSX K444 sits in the siding at SE Tucker while it waits for a new crew to arrive just to take it the rest of the way to Atlanta. 1-2-21

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.

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.

A moment of solitary devotion before the Buddha shrine at Tissamaharama Raja Maha Vihara, Sri Lanka. The vibrant energy of life meets the stillness of reflection.

View On Black

thank you, emily, for your beautiful moo card and sweet note! mwah!

It is supposed to rain this week in Sedona and I am hoping there will be some nice puddles combined with low winds to get some more good reflection shots from this site.

You may be wondering what black tar has to do with the rather average looking, pink fairy floss image.

This was taken the evening we arrived at Lake Tyrrell. The entire lake had a dried up apart from one small puddle, about 1 km from the edge of the lake. I thought I should try for some reflection shots before it too disappeared. We made the trek just on sunset, carefully walking across the fragile salt pan. I should have noted the warning signs. A black layer under the white. Too late. About 5 meters from the puddle and I walked into it and went straight down into a black, tar like sludge. The sherpa would not rescue me. No way he was going to risk sinking his precious Merrill's into the sludge. He just looked on in amusement-typical.

I had thongs on which I managed to wiggle out of and slowly worked my way out. Black sludge everywhere. I, stupidly thought I have come all this way, I have got to at least make an image of the puddle. All that for this mediocre image!

Had to make the journey back with no shoes, stinking like rotting mud and black everywhere. The joys of adventure.

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.

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

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I normally don't like a reflection shot that has been turned upside down but I couldn't resist with this shot - it just called to me. I focused on the reflection and have inverted and flipped the image horizontally too. Enjoy!

Had an errand in town yesterday and feeling inspired by the photography of my Flickr friend Leon Van Kemenade I had another shot at a couple of architectural/reflection shots and still felt very intimidated but this place seemed quite enough even for me... although a couple of candid street shots left me feeling weak... A bit beyond me I'm afraid..

I thought I would have a go at a B&W reflections shot for a change although the golden morning light was good in the colour version.
