There are no winners or losers here. Just great pictures like yours, and not-so-great, like mine.
I've been silently watching for months now.
This is a great community.
Just wasn't sure if the pictures would be accepted, I guess?
They seem to be though
More then acceptable–excellent!

I have another couple here. In the first one, I like the stripey effect of the shadows across the path; in the second, I like the stark contrast of the shadow with the brightly-lit surrounding area.

I particularly like the way the reflections are multiplied in this.

It was taken from inside a building, through two sets of glass doors, on a very sunny day (in Virginia).
Me too! That is a way-cool picture. I'm extremely jealous of your camera right now!

Lots of great shots, I'm impressed by all of you.
ParkinT, that's a great shot, very weird reflection effect.
And TechnoBear, your great shadowshots reminded me of this picture I took (the same winter as the heron photo). No reflections, not much light, but so much shadow it has become almost a silhouette. I hope it's on topic.

Interesting picture, @guido2004 . I love the patterns of the branches and the contrast between the slender twigs and the rounded shapes of the birds. The dim light reminded me of one I took a couple of weeks ago. (This is turning into a kind of "picture association" thread.) It was mid-afternoon, but very misty and the light was really weird. I've ended up with an almost monochrome picture, with a very faint, ghostly reflection in the water.

That's a really cool photo. A beautiful ship as well. And yes, it's so perfectly monochrome it would be hard to get that perfect with photoshop

The camera is simply a tool. It is the way in which the craftsman uses that tool that makes it art. Admittedly, many of the subtle things you did to make that a GREAT SHOT were instinctive. But you still should not deny yourself credit for timing, composition, choice of subject (just to name a few important aspects).Thank you.
I am a firm believer that you do not need an expensive camera to take wonderful photographs. By the same token, the most sophisticated and expensive camera is equally capable of taking awful photos; in the wrong hands.
That ship looks as if it could be the Flying Dutchman. It's eerily lovely. If these photos (all of 'em matey) are examples of picture association, then I say anchors away. I'm loving this thread! I salute you all!(This is turning into a kind of "picture association" thread.

It certainly is amazing. There is no reflection or shadow at all in that picture, except that it looks like the hill tops have a slight shadow, which is peculiar since it appears there is not even a cloud near to cast one.

That's actually differences in rock/vegetation giving the illusion of shadow. The only cloud in the sky was a little fluffy white stuff out to the west - you can just see a bit of it in the picture.

As my last picture didn't have either reflections or shadows (I only posted it for comparison with my previous picture) I thought I'd make up for it with this one, which has both.
January 2010 was unusually cold, and the beach froze solid for several days. This picture has the houses across the road reflected in the ice on the beach, and my shadow as I took the photo. (It was late evening; I'm not really that shape.

Looks like an amazing area you live in, Lesley. Each time you post a picture I feel I want to go there.
can i submit my photos of the transit of venus?
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/show...us-June-5-2012
no actual reflections per se but definitely imbued with light and shadow, as venus crosses in front of the brightest light in our immediate neighbourhood, and casts its shadow upon us here on earth,
I can merge the other thread, but I do really like that it's featured and has had good response. Besides, there's no prize here. Just a thread to see what our photographer members can come up with. Here's the link for those of you who haven't seen it.: r937's Transit of Venus

It is. We're very aware of just how fortunate we are to live here.
Perhaps I should be on commission from the local tourist board.

I was looking for something else when I happened upon these photos my husband took, and I decided they ought to be shared. (He's quite happy with that.

There are no reflections here but just light and shadow. I took these with my mobile while I was going to work... and the first one when I was waiting for the bus back to my home.
Before asking, do a search... if you don't find the answer, then ask

Took this one morning on the way to work, riding on my bike on the 'taff trail', although I did stop to snap the shot as I used my phone and the popular Instagram app

That is a GREAT photo! Normally, the advice is to NOT split the frame evenly ("the rule of thirds" and all) but in this case I think that is what makes the image captivating.Took this one morning on the way to work, riding on my bike on the 'taff trail', although I did stop to snap the shot as I used my phone and the popular Instagram app
