Reflections are many in my lifetime from the lush trees lining the canal to the lake and rivers. All with the beautiful light reflecting

Reflections of many shapes and sizes colours. The perfect reflection is so hard to achieve with the water needing to so still. A breeze can spoil it, there are so many aspects to it.

Over time I have collected my reflections all with a memory or story of how I came about getting the image.

I have waited some days for a bird to come into view only to be spoilt by a gust of wind moving across the water.

So I find reflections very interesting and there all different with maybe a single subject or lots of objects in the scene.

Turning a photograph upside down and seeing the same image, perfection hardly ever achieved by the photographer’s hand. But when and if it does must be so special.

I don’t think you can plan it and thats whats so unique about the reflection image. It happens in a split second or just by chance, and maybe you see it and don’t have your camera.

Look for reflections and see what you can find, maybe just through a mirror or in a puddle on the ground. Get your image and share it.

Thats your task if you want something to do when your bored. Use your phone there is no reason why everybody that has a phone with a camera on can’t capture a reflection image.

Hope you enjoyed this.

I am 63 years old and and since a boy have had an interest in wildlife and in particular birds. I help my Dad with the rearing of young finches and other birds. I had many small birds as pets and as i got older and joined the Military i purchsed my first Camera, and fold out Kodak. Over a 22 year period i enjoyed many countries outside the uk and observed many species of birds. When i left the military in 2000, i bought my first digital camera a Canon 450D with a Tamron 70-300 and started my journey on capturing images of birds and animals. I quickly learned that there was a lot more to getting a good image of a bird, so i started to research the best settings for my camera in order to capture a better image. Over a 12 month period i realised that needed to invest in a better camera and lens and after research bought a Canon 50D and a 100-400 Lens. It was 2013 when i really got to grips with the setup and came across a lovely Short Eared Owl. From that meeting i started to concentrate on Owls as they fasinated me. From Canon to Olympus i recently jumped ship again to Sony. The variety of birds i have captured over a 10 year period is vast and at present i have a wildlife hide in lancashire where most of my images are captured. View all posts by blackie1957
