Photographing Reflections

Photographing Reflections

Saturday 30 August
Ventura - 10am - 2 Hours
Ivy Hyve
We will be using natural water reflections and seeking out man-made reflective surfaces in the area to explore how we can use reflections to add depth and intrigue to our images. Reflections can help us to show our subject from an unusual, or from multiple, points of view. We can use reflections to abstract our subject or to make perfect mirror images. We'll even have a look at how we can create our own reflections when there are none around.

    This was one of several images during a New Moon last month. The time was about 11 PM, before the Milky Way was visible. The lens was a Sigma 14mm, f/2.0, on a Sony A7rIV, 10 seconds, ISO: 3200. The illumination comes from lighting in the city of Tonopah, Nevada. The "green" was real, with some increased saturation in LRC.

    Darkness comes in many forms ? grief, fear, uncertainty. But it doesn?t last forever. Sometimes, the simple act of hoping, of reaching for peace, is enough.As Dumbledore wisely put it:?Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.?Let that be your reminder today.You don?t need to have all the answers. You don?t need to feel strong every moment. What matters is that you keep going ? that you choose to believe there?s something bette

    Title or Location: Ellis Square, Savannah, GA
    I met young Miles at Ellis Square while he was doing some rather gymnastic break dancing. Luckily, for me, I was using my Nikon Z7 which allowed me to switch from raw to jpeg giving me 9 frames per second on motor drive. I was shooting aperture preferred and used f/8 the resulting shutter speed was 1/1600 of a second. 9fps sounds fast but I only had 6 nicely composed shots out of 120 exposures.

    I had spent the better part of the day moving silently through the edges of the chase looking to photograph deer. It was one of those days that seemed perfect on paper: overcast skies that softened the light, barely a breath of wind, and a camera battery at full charge. But nature is nothing if not humbling. The deer remained ghost-like, unseen despite hours of quiet patience and soft steps.By late afternoon my hopes had dimmed so I began the slow walk back to the car. The path wound through

Engine 9350 is a Diesel/Electric Locomotive which was built in February 2012 by General Electric and produces 4400HP which is capable to propel it to a top speed of 75mph. I love to photograph trains whenever I get a chance. To me they are iconic.
