In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his reflection, though it ended in a tragedy can we really blame him for seeing such great beauty? Or just like Mulan, you may struggle to find your real self in your reflection.

This week’s gallery will prove  that looking at reflections is indeed very hard to resist. Most specially seeing objects in perfect symmetry and stillness will definitely make you lost in your thoughts.

Oh, just make sure you do not forget to drink while viewing each  lovely photos, we do not want you ending up like Narcissus. Scroll on!

Above: Night Flight – By Alan Comer

I call this image “Night Flight”, it was shot in Colleyville, Texas in the late evening after sundown.

Shot in West Sussex, UK in October 2017 when I visited with my partner and sister. Taken at sunset using a long exposure of a couple of seconds, the light was just right and the water was fairly still. Flickr name tjar46.

Above: Lake Wanaka – By Franz Scheurer

Laka Wanaka, New Zealand in the early morning light

This photo was taken on August 11th 2018 at Arnold Pond, ME. That was my reward for getting up early. The photo was taken with my phone, a Samsung S9. I love taking photos while the nighttime fog is still present. I used the driftwood in the foreground as a leading line. If you look closely, you’ll see a log cabin in the upper right corner. This image is not processed. I like the B&W-like contrast with the Color vegetation in the front. The diagonal brings a bit of ” je ne sais quoi ” to the shot.

Above: Treasures of the Ocean – By Gillian Steyn

This was taken, not in an exotic location, but in my living room! I was experimenting with reflections and it was really fun. I called it Treasure of the Ocean.

Above: Sparks Lake Sunrise – By Steve Peters

The last sunrise of summer here in central Oregon turned out to be pretty interesting. I reluctantly drove out to Sparks Lake before dawn, thinking this would be a bust. My forecasting app had downgraded the chances of a colorful sunrise from 80% to 20% during the night, and it was windy at my house, so I figured there’d be no chance for calm water and nice reflections at the lake. But I don’t get that many opportunities to shoot, so I decided to go anyway and drove 40 minutes to the lake. To my surprise, the water was glass! While the best light was in the east, a nice cloud band did stretch northward toward the mountains I wanted to shoot. The illuminated cloud and its reflection look to me a little like outstretched arms. One person on social media said at first glance she saw a guitar, which I thought was a great interpretation! Glad I went. The app forecast may have been a little discouraging, but if you don’t show up there’s a ZERO percent chance you’ll see a good sunrise!

This is my image of the Oregon Coast using Breakthrough ND filters doing a long exposure. It gave a nice reflection of the sun and the colors.

Hi everyone!I thought I’d post this picture of the Golden Temple in Kyoto because even though I posted it on Instagram in my Autumn series for its foliage, most people commented about the reflection

I used several techniques to get to this result… There’s of course some bracketing involved and luminosity masks in PS but you might recognise the use of Kodak Aerochrome to achieve the bright colours in the leaves.
Again, this is shot with my Fujifilm X-T2, with the 10-24mm lens. Somehow I must have missed I had turned the ISO dial because it’s shot at ISO 400… Anyways, hope you like it.
