This thread is for posting images of subjects with their reflection on water (or thin ice), or just the reflection.
-
All very nice. I especially like the second one. Where was it taken?
-
At a state park near Sarasota, Florida.
-
Hello Arthur,
The first 3 photos were taken just south of Salonica in Greece. In a relatively small distance you find the outlets of 4 rivers.
Nice area for many kinds of photography.

Elias, this seems to be a promising thread. I'm looking forward to see how it develops.
-
Akira, I am, also, looking forward to see how it develops. Meanwhile another post.

I will do my part to help!

Very well done Oivind.
-
Øivind, the images of the ducks are beautiful, so peaceful.
-
Jaanco,
The second one is my pick. I like the lighting.
-
This will be a great thread. I enjoy reflections very much, but I try to take care to now be too obvious about the way I use them.
This one shows a famous reflecting pond.

Thanks Carl.
Hope we can see some photos from you in this thread.

Jack, Number 2 and 4 for me.

I like number 4, Jack, looks almost like swirls of ink in the water.

January 27 2017, morning, outside temperature 6C, at the delta of Evros river. A sheet of thin ice has been formed on the surface of the water.
Some birds have been trapped in it, some walk on it.
-
Correction: temperature -6C.
-
Very well done Oivind.
Øivind, the images of the ducks are beautiful, so peaceful.
Thanks Elsid and Tim for the enthusiastic comments. The reflections that paint the water are (as probably guessed) from a couple of buildings near the pond.
Nice flamingos Elsid, both on the first page and in the last post!

Well done John and Oivind.
Here are a flamingo and a duck.

A couple of brown pelicans

elsid, I love the one with the flamingo. Looks a bit like a cartoon character after an explosion ;D
Arthur, great capture of the pelicans, amazing how low they fly.

No, off my trusty D200 - you can see some of the new span construction going on at the right of the image.

Do you still have the original D200 files (NEF/JPG)? Maybe their EXIF data might give you the date?

Robert, these are impressive.
-
Wow, Robert, thank you for sharing the night shot of the Kelpies! I've seen and have been wondered by them through the images of Dave (David Paterson), but never known how it is lit at night.
Considering their sizes, the scenery should be spectacular.
-
Thank you Elsid, that was the first time I had seen them.
Thank you Akira, they are huge and framing is a challenge despite it being a large site, I have to admit I erased the power lines in the background because I find them so distracting. I think the 16mm fish could be one answer, esp. for a sunset. I try to arrange my visits to Scotland so I can detour that way, they are so different depending on the time of day, the light and the sky.
I visited again last year intending to make a combined star-trail and night time image of them but the ambient light was way too overpowering. As far as I know they are on all night, it would perhaps have worked if I had combined image of the Kelpies and then after they were turned off some darker sky images of the stars, but there is a lot of ambient light from more distant sources so I gave up.
Last year when we arrived there was a fashion photo shoot in progress, multiple photographers and models, soft boxes and lighting stands with a large crew. They eventually wandered off and left us to it.
As before, D3 but with Nikkor 24-120 f/4.0 at ISO 1250, 200 and 1600 respectively. They were exposed at 21:30, 21:33 and 23:35 hrs on 17 July 2017 I had planned to stay until 3am but the sky showed no sign of darkening by midnight, it was almost impossible to see any stars on a pretty clear night so we packed up and carried on to Lindisfarne which was another fiasco! But that's another story.

#45,,,Nice one, Lars. What focal length was used(assuming Fuji X cam)?

Thanks Keith,
yes, Fuji X-E1 with XF18-55 at 18mm, f8.
For this shot I used the XF14mm, f8.

The more reeds .. more reflections :)

I was after some "Jesus bugs" on the pond, which as one can clearly see were not cooperative, but I ended up staying for the water.

Beautiful pictures Bob,real mirror reflections.

Great high key and duck reflections Bob!
The wood frogs should soon be out of their frozen winter state and show up in ponds. Assuming the title implies reflections on a water surfaces, it should be valid to also include those seen from below. It was captured a couple of years ago with AW1 and the 10mm f/2.8 with Olympus fisheye converter. I happy that this capture is currently displayed at about 20x30" print size size in the lobby of our institute - it illustrates a research project on the frogs.

By the way, it was your photos with the Angenieux 35-70mm that made me order the lens. Arriving soon.

Uncunny Robert

Bob, Am I correct in assuming that an overcast sky is required to get this super clean white field? It's a great look.
-
yes... it may have been a little too overcast and dark but i managed to pull these out.. fog helps as well for these high key shots.. an example without a reflection taken in fog.. http://www.pbase.com/bobfriedman/image/162179534/original.jpg (http://www.pbase.com/bobfriedman/image/162179534/original.jpg)

Thank you for the details of the place. Just googled La Caleta. Was the image shot from "Tenerife"?
-
My pleasure. Maybe I'm missing your point but it is nowhere close to "Tenerife" unless there are more than one. GPS coordinates of the shot are: 36.5282750, -6.3088624
You walk past the "peña flamenca Juan Villar", through the gate and there you are :)
It is possible there are more than one La Caleta beaches.
P. E.: there are!
