Long Exposure

I really like the mood in this picture. The photographer has used a long exposure of 20 seconds, which gives enough time to create the misty effect on the water. The low angle shot makes the front rocks seem dominant, with the rocks in the background providing a ‘trail’ into the sea. The cloudy sky adds to the mood of serenity in the picture, and keeping the image in black and white makes the image feel much more moody.

Lakes

I saw this photo online and loved the composition of it. I really like how the trees reflect so well in the lake below, and how there is a definition between the green hills in the foreground and the big mountains at the back. I wanted to try something like this myself so i visited the local water resivoir and captured the photo below.

Unfortunately it was a bit of a dull day so the colours aren’t very vibrant, but i managed to get the reflection in the water that i wanted. I tried this photo from a couple of angles and this one had the best composition, from this angle the banks connect well and provide a good natural frame for the lake.

More Reflections

This one is also a good example of how reflections in the water can really make the photo. The deep contrast between the building and the ground shows up really well in the water, This photographer also uses a low angle shot, this time to capture the reflection on the curved building in the puddle.


I really like this photo for the variety of colours in it. I like how the cobbled floor provides a great natural frame for the puddle, and how the orange colour of the buildings contrast really well with the ground. Although there isnt much composition in this photo, it just seems to fit together well.

Reflections

Photos like this one show the great reflections you can get from puddles. I like this photo because of how the puddle seems to stretch all along the length of the gates, therefore giving a reflection of the whole front of the gates. The photographer has taken this one from a low angle, making the gates seem much bigger and more dominant. Also, he has captured this one so that the puddle of water seems to fade off into the background.


I like this photo because of the variety of colour used in it. I like the fact that there isn’t an actual subject to the picture, yet the photographer manages to make a good photo out of it. The reflections from the water make the colours much more vibrant, and these blue and white colours contrast really well with the dark tarmac.
