Lens Artists Photo Challenge #354 – Reflections

Posted in Birds, Photography, SunsetTagged , ,

Anne’s challenge is Reflections. She shared many beautiful examples of reflections and also shared some good advice on how to capture a reflection. Thanks also go out to Leeanne Cole for sharing her tips and images.

I often find reflections in water. I’ll start with a gallery of birds reflected in water.

Mirrors are a great way to photograph reflections even if you didn’t mean to get a reflection of yourself.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my first Lens-Artists challenge. The topic was stormy and I had a lot of fun reading all the responses and seeing all of the amazing stormy weather images from around the world. Next week Ann-Christine is leading the challenge so be sure to look for her post on Saturday, June 28 at noon Eastern Time. And as always, please remember that Every Day is a Gift.

Many thanks to Anne for this challenge Lens-Artists #354 – Reflections

  6. Loved your choices this week Beth. I agree with Sarah that the cypress trees are amazing and beautifully captured. I also loved the wine glass and who could resist that photo of you capturing the tree’s reflection?! Perfect response 👏👏👏

    1. Thanks Tina. I wish I could say I planned the reflection in the wine glass. I think I just got lucky with the light being just right. I wanted a picture of that Mardi Gras tree and that was the best I could do in a small room with a lot of people. Glad you like the cypress trees.

    1. Egidio, thank you! I love it when I can capture a reflection, especially in water. We were in New Orleans the end of February to begin our Mississippi River Cruise. The city was getting ready for Mardis Gras. As our ship was leaving the port I grabbed my camera when I saw the purple bridge. I almost missed getting the reflection.

    1. Terri, thank you! The wine glass seems to be a hit! New Orleans was getting ready for Mardis Gras when we were there the end of February. I’m glad my camera was handy when I saw the purple bridge.

    1. Rebecca, many thanks. The wine glass was a fun capture. My reflection in the mirror was an accident. I couldn’t get the angle I wanted on that tree because the room was filled with other people so I took the picture anyway.

    1. Many thanks! I confess – the wine glass photo wasn’t planned. When I set the wine glass down and saw the reflection of the palm trees I had to take a few photos. So glad you like it.

  13. Beth, such a fantastic reflective journey! From birds to bridges to a dash of Mardi Gras magic—each photo seems like it caught a little poetry in motion.
    Loved the mix of nature, color, and surprise mirrors! Thanks for the visual joyride 🌅🪞🎭
    Bird clicks, my favourite!

  17. A great selection, Dawn. That first shot is very creative (and I would never have thought of it).

    I particularly like the Yellow-crowned Night Heron as I’m a fan of Herons here is Australia.

    I was highly amused by your last shot too.

    ( How many times I’ve been doing food photography back in 2015 and found me in my PJs reflected in a spoon on a plate is priceless).

    Everyone has such great and creative ideas on reflections.

    I think that’s what I love about following photographers and nature lovers around the world – the wide variety of subjects and ways of photographing those subjects.

    1. Vicki, many thanks! I have to confess – I didn’t plan that first shot with the reflection in the wine glass. When I saw the reflection I grabbed my phone to take a few photos. I’m glad you liked the yellow-crowned night heron. Thanks for commenting!

    1. Ritva, I love taking reflection photos but I hate to admit that I didn’t plan the wine shot. I noticed the palm trees reflected in the wine after I set the glass on the table. I had to get a few photos! I’m glad you like the way it turned out. The Louisiana Cypress trees are one of my favorites, too.
