Long Bay reflections by maggiemae

Long Bay reflections

I can’t believe I got all this in one photo! I turned around from our deck outside this wonderful seaside cabin and photographed what I could see! There seems to be three images here which we can’t explain The bedroom is obvious, the sunset is reflected but on the side, we have a wheel that seems to be ‘Sadies” …our Mercedes! Which is way outside the area!

I think I've managed to do a multiple exposure which I didn't believe possible with my camera!
Three good things:
1. I forgot to recharge my camera but it seemed to be Ok with the GPS going when I was in the most amazing places in the world (called my home territory) In the top of the Coromandel where the access was a winding road, gravel and very narrow!.
2. We picnicked in a beautiful wide and sandy beach where there was one couple walking on the beach and it wasn’t us! Our GPS told us that we were the most northern land area on the Coromandel
3. We picked the best lemon on the bush outside our unit - a “meyer” and so juicy! It went with our cocktails while viewing the sunset - hey - try vermouth with blackcurrant liqueur! I’ll have to think of a name for this one!
Love that you have been able to capture the reflection of the sunset here, it looks like very interesting place

Looks like a lovely cosy place. Very clever to get the reflective sunset.

Wow, lots to see here.
October 27th, 2015  
How gorgeous, and very cool!
October 27th, 2015  
Beautiful light, colors and reflections!! Kind of a "natural" collage!!

Sort of posh camping Maggiemae, it all sounds very exciting & so different to sleep in a seaside cabin. You must have been like a couple of children camping out in the garden! This is a brilliant photo to see exactly all round you......the setting sun gives a cosy glow!

@happypat Really luxury, Pat - the bed had a fluffy duvet, the sheets were lace edged, thick carpet and a view to die for!
October 27th, 2015  
Well done, wonderful pic!
October 27th, 2015  
This looks delightful and it sounds like you are enjoying your travels
October 27th, 2015  
Interesting photo. Lots to look at!
October 27th, 2015  
@maggiemae A bottle of wine in the fridge perhaps too?
October 27th, 2015  
Perhaps the film didn't wind on - lol - those were the days! I love this shot - what a place!
October 27th, 2015  
Very neat composition - especially the two views of the sunlight.
October 27th, 2015  
Wonderful capture,all in one image! Your trip sounds fabulous- what an adventure! Fav!
October 27th, 2015  
Must be a magical place! GreAt shot with lots to see.
October 27th, 2015

Interesting...
October 27th, 2015  
Neat, clear reflections
October 27th, 2015  
There's so much to see here! I am now wanting to visit NZ!
October 27th, 2015  
white wine with blackcurrant liqueur is called "kir" so since vermouth is a main ingredient for martini, why don't you call it a "kirtini"? :-) fabulous shot you got here. are those windows behind the bed or framed artwork/photograph? i love that the setting sun and the water are reflected, too! did i say it's a fabulous shot? i did! because it is!
October 27th, 2015  
I love reflections, can make you dizzy trying to figure some of them out! Great photo!
October 28th, 2015  
@summerfield What an excellent idea, Vikki! I will now find a competitions for naming cocktails and win it! Kirtini!
October 28th, 2015  
Very cool effect to see the reflections and the interior.
October 28th, 2015  
I guess this is the illusion you had after your cocktails.
October 28th, 2015  
@yaorenliu You just might be right, Yao! I do know now what my camera did - it wasn't anything to do with me!
October 28th, 2015  
@judithg Almost the same thing, Judith - its the processing that I got caught up with but what the hell - who doesn't want flowers beside your bed!
October 28th, 2015  
This looks like a comfortable, delightful place! How wonderful to be able to pick the lemons. We used to make lemonade from Meyer lemons when we lived in Florida ...They are the best lemons that I've ever had.
October 28th, 2015  
Very nice composition. Love the reflection in the glass. The light in the room is so warm and mellow.
October 28th, 2015  
That looks very pretty but there is a lot going on in there
October 28th, 2015  
This looks the perfect place to unwind , comfort and beauty.
October 28th, 2015  
this picture is a delightful puzzle.
October 28th, 2015  
This is like a puzzle for sure. I just love how you captured the sunset and the lovely cottage at the same time!
October 28th, 2015  
Such an interesting shot. There's so much to look at. I like it!
October 28th, 2015  
Lovely capture and clever reflection of the sunset.
October 28th, 2015  
@dsp2 Thanks - I realise that is the way to spell, Meyer! Mine didn't look right!
October 28th, 2015  
@maggiemae Oh, I hadn't noticed that we spelled it differently! Funny how the mind reads things as we expect to see them!
October 28th, 2015  
Wow! This is fabulous! One of those random reflection shots that work so very well!!
October 28th, 2015  
Such a sweet beauch cabin
October 28th, 2015  
Looks a great place to stay and the multiple shots add an interest or a question mark!
October 28th, 2015  
So much to look at - looks like a lovely place to stay
October 29th, 2015  
Love this, it seems to cram into itself such a lot of your pleasure in the different things you have seen and done. Fav.
October 29th, 2015  
Not only you got the wheels of Sadie in there, but also some jean clad legs (!), and a curb with bright pink flowers in your bedroom!! Love the unintended multiple exposure....so much to see here, and I keep finding more random objects the more I look at it!! And, yes, Meyer lemons are the very best! I had two of those trees in my backyard when I moved into my house in California, and no other lemon has ever tasted as good....they are sweet and sour at the same time, and very thin skinned!
October 29th, 2015  
@panthora Thanks Osia, yes there are lots in this multiple exposure that was not intended. The lemons were actually thick skinned but very tender. Don't know enough about lemons - tried to grow them but they don't want to know!
October 29th, 2015  
Very curious.
October 30th, 2015  
Nice capture. Love that you caught the sun set, as it is beautiful.
