Fall Colors in Yosemite Oct. 2019. This photo was taken from one of my favorite locations. No matter how much water is flowing down the Merced, this section seems to always be very calm, offering great reflection shots in the afternoon.
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.

Last week I posted a photo of Victoria Glacier from Lake Louise showing the glacier lit up in alpenglow light. I also talked about how the crowds at Lake Louise increase dramatically as the morning grows later. Fortunately, with sunrise happening at 5:15am, we still had a relatively crowd-free chance to roam around the lake taking photos. The lake is pretty accessible from all sides, which allows for lots of different compositions. While the light wasn't the golden glow of sunrise when I took this photo, it was still very nice. The lake was smooth as glass, allowing for great reflection shots (my favorite type of photo). For this composition, I wanted to have Victoria Glacier in it while capturing the reflection of Mount Aberdeen in the waters of Lake Louise.
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!

The tide was pretty low, so there was lots of sand, and I really couldn't get angles with both the coastline and ocean visible in the same shot without creating wide panoramas.
The geology of this area is amazing and colorful. I was going for one of my reflection shots but the water wasn't coming back to this area of sand at the time I took this photo, so it's not wet enough for what I wanted.
Still, an outstanding cloudspray in a deep cerulean sky against a colorful rockface with trees right on the edge.
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.
I like Steveston Harbour because I can always find my favorite reflection.
Have a great Friday and weekend!
This is an archive picture and below is the original story posted.
It is close to the end of year. The new year of rabbit starts on Thursday.
This is time for reflection.
Did I have too much fun with my Fuji compact?
Did I do too many panoramas lately?
Did I do too many infrareds?
Should I take more color shots?
Best wishes to my Flickr friends in the new year and hope everybody is getting more great pictures!

While walking at Willband Creek Park in Abbotsford, BC, got this lovely reflection shot in an area of still water. (19-01-15-0227)
A broken water main in downtown San Antonio, TX yielded a rare reflection shot at Alamo Beer/Burnet St. of this westbound UP freight. February 2021.
Another reflection shot at Venice Beach. I can imagine the view from the plane above the pier was pretty decent.

A lovely secluded lochan in Glencoe, conditions on this day were absolutely perfect for a reflection shot.
Hudson is learning that the best reflection shot near a temporary North Dakota lake requires low elevation. Today's H-GALGFD did the trick with a pair of H1 GEs.
After visiting San Francisco's Asian Art Museum we headed to the Crissy Field for sunset. Stale water lent itself for this reflection shot of silhouette people and Golden Gate Bridge.
I processed a photographic and a balanced HDR photo from two RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Photographing the south tufa beach at Mono Lake feels like cheating in many ways. The place is gorgeous. Its unique position across the Tioga pass means the sky is always interesting. The beautiful tufa formations provide many patterns and details, making it almost an easy place for stunning landscape photography.
I usually prefer shooting here at sunrise to get beautiful reflections on the water, so I was not too enthusiastic when we got an opportunity to head to Mono Lake for sunset. The sky was uncharacteristically bare, and sunset means choppy waters and hence no reflection shots. Thankfully I decided to go, thinking that I would explore the shoreline a bit and hopefully find some spots to return to later.
What greeted me was a perfectly still lake with perfect reflections of the fantastic tufa formations. Since I planned to explore, I had my recently acquired Nikon Z6 and the 70-200 f2.8 instead of my trusty D850 and 24-70 combo. I was still a bit new with the lens, but there were few others on the lake, and I had all the time to hit my usual spots to make some beautiful images. Today's photo is a three image panorama of the pirate ship tufa formation. I posted a similar picture some time ago, but that included some foreground elements. For this shot, I wanted to isolate the tufa and showcase its details against the incredibly blue canvas that nature provided that day.
A return to see the Kelpies with the family. Took the camera with me again and took a few shots. Managed to get a full reflection shot of one of the Kelpies. This was 15 minutes before they lit up but I still think its a nice shot with the moon lurking through the clouds.
ANSH 105 (1) spoon reflections
I always like doing spoon reflection shots - in this one the spoons are placed on a page in a book about Monarch butterflies, showing hundreds (probably thousands) of the butterflies gathered together.

Simple reflection shot, I really like the light in this image

I went to Eyeworth Pond In the New Forest yesterday found ducks on the ice. Ideal for reflection shots.
A nice bonus was the reflection shot in the pond as he approached the crossing. You can see how far down the water levels are as North Dakota is in a severe drought.
The trains in North Dakota can be pretty elusive at times but the effort to shoot them always seems to be worth it.
The branch just above the water worked well for this reflection shot at Soudley ponds in the Forest of Dean

I took his shot while we were heading back to town from the spectacular maroon bells view point. I had eyed this small snowmelt puddle for its reflection potential earlier, but due to the darkness couldn’t really figure out the complete view. On our way back I could see the maroon bells reflected on the car’s side view mirror and decided to stop and head to the small pond for a reflection shot since we had almost now wind.
The scene at the pond was one of the most challenging dynamic range shot. I had to use a 3 stop ND grad filter and combine a 5 image hdr to get some detail in the sky and foreground. I would have liked a bit more detail to the left side of the image but this was the best I could do and get a natural balanced look.
Fun at the beach with my 300mm plus the 2x extender. it was fascinating to observe details from such a distance, watching live the awesome atmospheric deformations and reflections.

I've called this Reflections...because the man half way up looked liked he was reflecting about something...what better place to do that than on a Jetty/Pier!
Capturing perfectly still reflection shots here is no easy matter and normally only happens a handful of occasions in a year. Indeed pretty well all the other shots I took here this morning had the waters ruffled by a slight gust of wind.
For years, I resisted ever taking a vacation unless it focused on nothing but SCUBA diving. How things have changed.
Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Kendra and I decided on a long weekend up around Lake Tahoe. The cheap lodging and easy access to several different shooting locations helped play a part in our decision. Being close to casinos and a multitude of Safeways, Subways, and Starbucks was an unexpected surprise.
For our first day, we got up at 6am to finish packing and get to Tahoe by lunch time, thus allowing ourselves plenty of time to scout out and find Bonsai Rock. It seemed like a good place to start as the weather forecast called for worsening wind and potential snow showers as the weekend progressed. Stephen Oachs had mentioned something about reflections and wind, and yeah they don't mix.
Kendra is the GPS queen, and she loaded up a bunch of spots for us to check out. As we drove around the lake, she would randomly tell me how fast I was driving by looking at her GPS. As we passed Sand Harbor, I knew Bonsai Rock was close and told Kendra to look out the window for it as it is down a relatively steep incline from the highway.
"But the GPS says we have four more miles", she said. "No", I replied,"it's only about half a mile or so from Sand Harbor". At that instant, I hear "there it is!" and the GPS chimes in that we had reached our destination. Funny how four miles can be covered in 30 seconds. Good job GPS.
So this is my reflections shot, you won't see many more reflections from me out of this trip. The weather forecasters were pretty accurate.
I did pick up a couple new toys before the trip. One being a Singh-Ray Gold-N-Blue polarizer. This polarizer is like giving a drug addict an unlimited supply of funds and making them immune to the legal system. I rarely took this filter off as it was a great opportunity to see what it could do. I felt I needed this little "preface" in order to help explain some of the far out and whacky colors that I will be posting over the next week or two. And if you don't know about the Gold-N-Blue polarizer by Singh-Ray, read more here.
I hope everyone had a great long weekend, and I will be slowly catching up with you all over the next few days!

An image of the former Power Station, and accompanying reflections, shot at dusk. The bridge to the right is the Grosvenor Railway bridge, which serves London Victoria. It was really refreshing to see all the work that has being going on here, I particularly like the reflected light this area gives at night, shine on….
As this is the time of year to reflect on the past and look forward to the future I thought I would provide a very tenuous reflection shot.
The Chrysler Building’s reflection captured in the glass of the building opposite, taken a few weeks ago whilst in NYC. The day was wet and so the top of the building was obscured by low cloud.
Many thanks to all those who have viewed, liked and commented throughout the year. I wish you all a happy, peaceful and rewarding New Year.

The driving car 51941 of Class 108 DMU waits for the road at Highley with the 1440 to Kidderminster.
This multiple unit looked great and inspired me to try a well worn creative technique of getting down low for a puddle reflection shot.
Luckily the platform was wet and i got damp patches on my knees.
Today I headed to Chur, a regional capital in the Swiss Alps. This is where I went to high school at the Kantonsschule. In December there is 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 Arcas in the summer.

Another shot from the spectacular valley view scenic vista point at Yosemite Valley. I took this shot when we visited the Yosemite National Park this winter. This is a pretty popular destination and I myself have posted pics from this location before. So I wanted to capture this shot a bit differently and I my opinion his location is spectacular shortly after sunrise. I reached on time and as ready, I also had planned to take a panorama stitch using a slightly normal focal length instead of the Wide angle I usually go for.
While setting up the tripod I realized that the wind had died down and it resulted in almost perfect reflection of the epic peaks on Merced River. This almost never happens for me and I was quick to keep clicking and got about 100 odd pictures before the wind picked up and the reflections were lost. Funny thing was that I had amazing reflection shots at three different locations at the valley that day. Felt pretty cool about that. Thanks for visiting and the encouragement. Hope you all have a great weekend.
This is my second Kilchurn reflection shot, of which i have decided to convert to black & white. I like it................hope you do to :-))
A rugged, remote backcountry lake basin | Sequoia National Park
Not really going to say too much about this one other than the fact that it was the only good sunset I got on this five-day backpacking trip! It was a total surprise, too -- I was expecting clear blue skies and then some beautiful cirrus rolled on. I wasn't complaining; in fact, I wasn't ready, so I ran down and down in the basin until I could get that nice-looking peak on the left to spew the clouds out!
As always, all kinds of feedback are highly welcome. One of these days, I'll post something that's not a lake/reflection shot ;)
