This I took at my first gas stop on my retreat ride from Billings MT when the weather stopped me from reaching the GS gathering at Sandy's back in 2014. It was up in the mountains somewhere. The roads were clear of snow but it was way too brisk out for an old Florida boy to be riding.

Too bad Stator wasn't sitting on the bike in this pic. (not an entry)

This weeks theme has allowed a wide variety of interesting and unique images. Reflections everywhere. Good stuff guys.

Well this was taken on our colorado attempt with the sidecar.

Good Friday Morning! We've got 13 wonderful photos to vote on, so let's go!

First the theme from Justin (Jedz123)

Mirrors
Play with a reflection. It can be water, glass, mirror, heck even a great play with the heat reflection of pavement could work but there has to be a mirroring effect in the picture.

More to follow....

Continued...

And that is it....Don't forget to vote.

I am going to have to think about this one...Nice photos everyone!

Good morning all,
Voting for Baatfam... no surprise, as I'm a fan of low light photogruaphy. Many a night I've seen similar reflections on the windscreen on my 1150, but never took a picture, let alone a nice one, of it though.

 

[Spyder]

I will agree. I too will vote for Baatfam this week.

Tossup for me between Hayabuser and Trevor.
Trevor's pic reminds me of the trip I took to Alaska.
Hayabuser's is closer to home and conveys a hopefulness. I was imagining finding a puddle and setting up a pic like this.

My vote is for Hayabuser​!

Dorkburger for me this week, I really like that shot.

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

voting for trevor's shot of motorcyclists reflecting on the reflection.

I vote for Gustovh �� Beautiful Nevada!��

Side note: Has anyone heard from Charlie G lately? He hasn't posted in a while, I hope everything is okay.

 

[gustovh]

My vote goes to Trevor this week. My picture was taken in Nevada on the way to Colorado.

Baatfams rich saturated image for me.

Several pics that I like for different reasons.

Bob baatfam is a fine shot, and the reflection in the windscreen is clearly the main element. Is certainly one of the top ones in my mind.

And I like the mirror-view-from-the-bike shots. And I like the reflection in the puddle pics.

But I keep coming back to Glen Drk'bgr shot. THe reflections of the lights may not be the main element but certainly is a large part of the scene since he caught it on a night when the reflections were cooperating. Voting for Dorkburger mostly because the picture holds my interest the longest, and I will use that consideration as the tiebreaker in my deliberations.

>>Later note
If anybody is wondering: Yes, my pic is a capture of a refection as it occurred, is light as came thru the lens on one occasion, one shot. Is not any trickery with software and multiple images layered.
I have found if have the reflective (or partly reflective) surface in the shade and the scene behind me in bright sun, then the reflected image of the scene shows up better. (Same technique as used in my face-in-tank avatar pic.)
Next trick (which I didnt do too well here) is getting the focus on the reflected image and not the reflective surface.

Trevor for me. Nice shot!

Voting for dorkburger this week.
A beautiful bike in a beautiful pic.

I'm voting for Hayabuser's this week. I love the feeling of solitude and pleasure of a lonely back road and the pleasure of the ride. The reflection of the gorgeous red Triumph in the puddle just tops it off perfectly.
