Thanks all. With the drought going on over here the brook I've been walking is low enough to walk up either side and in some cases across. The low water has made it possible to try for shots of things below, on, and above the surface all in one shot. Its a fun subject for me. It will be interesting to see how things look if / how much rain we get from the hurricane down South. Apparently I'm being sent to some of my regular sites next week so I may have to wait to find out.

Interstring how the reflection is only in the shadows..... and I think the shadow are of the tree trunks that see in reflection ! !

Great.

Ha
Reflection shots are usally seen looking away from the sun, so sun is on the objects not the reflective surface.

Definitely interesting. I've noticed that if the sun shines directly on the surface of still water it kills off any reflection, and illuminates the bottom, but areas in shade will reflect whats around. The set of two pics I recently put up on IG and FB are a perfect example of each scenario, in the same composition.

Riding by that bike would kill me. You know that most gsr members could make that buried bike run.

Marbles... technically out of focus, but the shapes from the partially stopped down old lens were too fun not to make an image of.

Saw this at my mothers today. All I could think of was, this bird needs a biger house!

Right after the picture, it swooped down and grabbed a field mouse and flew away!

Intersting.

And another posting where you added some marking on the tank.

Sunset this time of fall getting close to being inline with the pier. In an other couple weeks it will be inline with the pier.

Great pic Dave.

Goofed off a bit today at work studying shape and shade.
The cool shades are from daylight shining in a nearby window. The warm ones are from an incandescent light. The shapes, shadows, and lines were just fun.... i was laying on the floor looking up.

I haven’t particularly been trying new things, but scenes, yes. It always a crapshoot. I walked along the river not particularly excited, but the around just one more curve mentality was in play and it paid off. I failed to capture the absolutely spectacular light in that last river shot. It was overcast but bright, and the brightness was filtered and diffused down thru the trees. Hard to describe, but it was soft yet crisp and the green going yellow leaves cast a lovely tint on the whole scene. At least if I get back there I can head straight back to that spot. Photography after work is generally a rushed proposition involving a bit of planning and quick work. On a good day, I can bang out a few nice shots if I’m lucky. If I’m exploring a new area, it’s usually a learning experience for the future.

ANd then went to see it manouver to tie up at the docks.
Saw crew member climb down ladder into a small boat and then go tend to the mooring lines, then back in small boat, and back up the ladder. Little boat pulled away as soon as the guy stepped on the ladder.
