Weekly Photo Challenge ~ Part I
Nature, in all its splendor, is supremely beautiful.
Often more so upon reflection.

Reflecting Upon Nature.
These photos are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely adorable work, Jeff.
Looks like paintings… thanks a lot for sharing… 🙂
Thanks Sreejith. That’s exactly the look I was going for, though without the use of post processing to achieve it. Reflections on the water are perfect for this.
Fascinating shots, Jeff!
Thank you Stefano!
Awesome !
TY! 😀
You are welcome 🙂
These are so beautiful..thank you for sharing them with us!
Thank you for the wonderful compliment, and you’re welcome 🙂
Wonderful Natural abstractions!
Thanks! Nature is really amazing, isn’t it?
😉 Yes!
So much like the work of the Impressionists, whom I love.
exactly what i was thinking and feeling!!!!
Thank you both! I was very pleased with how these came out. The day most of these were made, I’m pretty sure I was the only person in New Hampshires White Mountains with his camera aimed at the water the entire day. Which, considering it was Columbus Day weekend, the busiest leaf peeping weekend in NH, must have seemed rather odd to a lot of the visiting tourists.
Odd enough in fact that I was asked no less than half a dozen times if I was photographing fish, or if there are fish in there. 😀
it can be fun to accidentally attract attention doing what you love. 😉
It was hard not to laugh, because they were obviously intrigued by this clown on his knees pointing his camera in the “wrong” way.
i probably would’ve approached you and asked what kind of lense you were using 😉 love it.
A big white one 😉
jealous!!!!!!
If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend any of the Canon 70-200s.
The non-IS F4 version is very sharp, light as a toy, and can be had for about $500-$550 used. Which is a hell of a bargain considering how good it is.
The F4 IS version, which I currently own, can be had for less than $1,000 used, is crazy sharp, with awesome Image Stabilization. Traded a non-IS F2.8 70-200 for it. The F2.8 was heavy, and even though I almost never used it, I couldn’t bring myself to leave it out of my backpack. I buy pretty much all of my bodies and lenses used, saved a ton doing it too.
unbelievably beautiful effect.
Thanks Emilio. All I needed to do was look down at the water instead of up at the beautiful autumn color on the mountainsides, and there is was.
you have such a gift, and we are blessed to have you share it with us!
Both your reflection posts are so so pretty, I couldn’t decide which one to comment on….then went for this one cause I’m a sucker for a bit of impressionist abstraction.
Just gorgeous stuff, Jeff!
Thanks a lot Kat, I’m really glad you like them.
Great to see all these images again and in a Gallery. Second time around and I think I love them even more now. Thank you Jeff
Thank you Lee! These do seem to be a popular series of images, which has inspired me to always be on the lookout for reflections and abstracts. I’ll certainly be focusing an entire day on them again this coming autumn.
You’re like an impressionist photographer! So gorgeous, Jeff. So glad you stopped by my blog again so I could catch up on yours. Your work is such an inspiration. … 🙂
Thank you Dorothy. It was my pleasure visiting your little corner of WordPress.
🙂
I love autumn colours and you have captured them beautifully, Jeff 🙂
Thank you very much.
Lovely colours and a good chance to show off some of your more abstract photos. Love them.
Thanks Card!
I saw part II first and thought the photos were beautiful, but then I saw part I and thought they were even better. I like the removal of the ‘real’ part of the image, leaving only the wavery, watery ripples of reflection. (BTW I love the loon in your header image! I haven’t seen one in 30-odd years, since I lived in northern Canada. I remember their haunting cry echoing over a still lake at twilight.)
Thank you very, very much Elizabeth! I had a great time making all of those abstracts. I won’t say I got tired of “normal” shots of all the great fall color we get here in New Hampshire, but I was really on a mission to do something different.
Thanks again for both the compliment on the header, and telling me which image you were complimenting (the header images is on a random loop). I love that call. I live on a lake and we have had a nesting pair here every year since I’ve lived here, and I’m sure long before that, and I look forward to their return, and that call, every spring.
One of the best captured nature reflections I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing such an extensive gallery Jeff 🙂
I’m the one who should be thanking you for such a wonderful comment! 🙂
As always beautiful captures!
Love the bottom right hand side.. #Stunning
