Point & Shoot Competition #60 - Reflections

RoxnDox · 11-19-2012, 11:58 AM

I dug thru my archives and found a couple... Most of my good reflections images have been taken with my K100D so it was a bit of a search to find good ones...

These are from my old Canon Powershot A80 - I really wish that thing was still working, I loved the results I got from it and it was built like a Pentax K1000 for durability!

Entry #1, sunset on Hauser Lake, Helena MT. Hazy skies from local forest fires makes for a nice sunset, captured from out on a waterskiing boat (driven by the director of the office I was visiting for a triennial inspection)

Entry #2, a view of the lakeshore, same day Figured I'd play a bit with this one...

RoxnDox - I love the 2nd lakeshore.

I had a canon a80 & loved it as well, I think my older brother still has it.

It took this pic, which doesn't count as a submission 'cause it's my contest:

Okay, I will refrain from continuing to enter photos into my contest

Unix - way to rub it in that I didn't get a galaxy s3, I wanted a big keyboard and just got a motorola that has a crappy camera. But it's got a keyboard!

I like the first best, and now I can stalk you whenever I'm in WAldorf...

RBefly - I think I like your 2nd the best, but maybe try a tighter crop on the 3rd - a bit less sky & a bit less foreground.

Nice to see you, Erik!
And on time!
And with great entries. Creative!
Impressive as the pano is, my favourite is still the first.

I know, right? I think I'm finally back in step. Maybe next time I'll even use a film camera. Unfortunately right now I have a bit of a backlog on my film development....by which I mean 20 or so rolls waiting for me.

Everyone's put in some good work this month!

Jim, Great!
I especially love the 1st one.

Catriona stealing the show

and her own show at that. Fine composition.

20 rolls of film... Fun times for those dark winter evenings ahead, Erik.

Good idea as this ones a show stopper! but really..... more is sooooo much better!

And with the clones of Erik now showing up are they each allowed to enter 3 images???

Immunogirl · 11-20-2012, 02:05 PM

No, I am indecisive. It might fry my brain trying to do Erik clones x 3.

I used to be indecisive too, but now I am not so sure.

Be careful, I spent a significant amount of time on the water. Which means probably about 3/4ths of my pictures have reflections in them. Even if they are often trite sunset shots. Asking for more is just asking to be inundated.

Inundate away

Some of us love sunset shots

Of course that shot of the Water Lillies would be a great candidate for the PP thread.
