    Default Reflections of Marshall Point Light

    Taken about 20 minutes after my previous post....wish I had seen this earlier......just to show that you should never stop looking at your subject. I admit that I am a fanatic of reflections and will stop at nothing (including carrying my own water) to try and achieve a reflection shot. This one was easy from a water standpoint.......some was already there.....and all it took was about a 1/4 of a water bottle to add the rest. You will not see any reflection unless you get all the way down! Taken laying down with the camera approximately 6 inches off the ground, hand held, and the puddle is about 9 inches long that collected on the wood and about 1/8 inch deep. Mark 3 with the 28-135mm lens 60 mm at ISO 640 (so I could hand hold) and f22 for 1/100th of a sec.
    As always comments welcomed and apreciated.

    Hey Anita,
    Yes.......you were catching up on sleep...........something we didn't get a lot of! A water bottle would be more than enough from this spot.........which we didn't see the day before because it was dry.........but it rained overnight.........that's why I noticed the puddle! I had not seen it before the many times I was there either.
    Look for the board that is slightly curled up near the beginning of the boardwalk. It should have a dark spot from water collecting there.
    PS No Michael, I didn't try a horizontal as i didn't think it fit..........but i may have to next time!

    It would take a good eye to have spotted this extra special photo just waiting in that puddle, but to create it... Sheer genius!

    Hi Roman!

    What I like in this image is the bending, curvy, "S" shape to the wooden boards. My only suggestion is that it may need a slight CCW rotation, so that the reflection is plumb vertical.

    :) wonderful !
    The reflection in FG balances the top. Liked the way u've composed this frame. Nice to have imagined this scene & executed it so well.

    I really like the composition here. Now you're going to have me carrying extra bottles of water!

    Nice work Roman.

    And Maine Lobsta is the best. Lobsta is not a typo - that's native New Englander speak from this native Rhode Islander or is that Islanda.

    Now thats dedication! Carrying your own water for the reflection! Excellent use of time and resources when you know what you see is all you have to work with. Nice to meet you and look forward to all of your posts.

    Roman, my wife always makes me carry water with me when I go on photo shoots. And here I thought it was for drinking. I love reflections, great find!

    Roman, I just commented on your lighthouse photo you posted today, but I like this one a lot better. It does not have the lovely light, but that composition, with those lines is awesome. Very well seen!
