Upon Reflection

On Monday Evening, I had the bright idea to visit Riverside Park at sunset. I was hoping to get sun reflecting in the temporarily flooded ponds that I also showed here the other day. For the most part, we were a little late for that, at least where I was. I went mostly right while Sue veered to the left. She caught more reflection that I did. Since she got the better photos, I'll show mine first, two of which included her in the frame.



My two fav photos, the one immediately above and the one below didn't involve water or reflections at all. Go figure. I love how the setting sun lit up the grasses.


I did get this one with some reflection and a bench, but I had to do some editing to get it looking as good as it does.


I tried to avoid direct shots of the sun as the variation in light can really throw-off a photo, but Sue managed those, as well as reflections, very well.

  1. OOoh, I also like the grasses color with contrast to the huge tree trunk silhouettes.

  2. That second photo of Sue shooting. That says it all. Who she is, who and what you both love. And the lighting is perfect.

  9. Glorious sunset. That's one of the joys and the bonuses of longer evenings, if that makes sense. (I'm not sure it does, really . . . )
