My get pushed challenge from Gabi @gabigabs - I would like to see a photo of reflection.
Pixie and Skye just had to photo bomb. I took a few shots this morning but I like this one best (despite my photo bombers!)
I'm from Tulbagh, Western Cape, South Africa. Tulbagh is a small farming community.
Get Pushed Challenge: I have been doing this challenge on and off...
Nicely done. I really like Pixie and Sky photo bombing the shot. They make for a nice foreground... and I totally can hear they planning to jump in the water to ripple up that perfectly still reflection you found.
Lovely reflection. I like the dogs in the foreground. A fun variation would be to crop just above the dam (which would also eliminate the overexposed sky - the exposure on the dam and reflection is spot on!)
@ericdibosco I toyed with doing exactly that but left it as I quite liked the fact that the top half of the shot looks over exposed and the bottom half not. I know it's not ideal photographically but at times I like to break the rules!
@salza :) I once heard that a reflection is more or less 1 f-stop less exposed than the true image, which is exactly the way you have it here. When processing images and manipulating exposure selectively in different areas of the image (as I often do!) one must always take care to preserve that difference.
Cool reflections
