In a mirror, in a puddle or on the surface of a perfectly still lake, reflections offer new perspective and make for especially interesting photos.

Reflection Photo Tips
- Adjust your gaze. You’ll be surprised at all the reflections you can find once you start looking for them. A puddle is just a puddle until you notice it’s reflecting the blossoming cherry tree above it. Look for reflections in everything from shiny cars to storefront windows.
- Play with composition and angles. Try different ways to compose your photo and a variety of angles. Depending on your approach, reflection photos could be symmetrical or otherworldly and surreal.
- Plan ahead. Sunrise and sunset are peak times for reflections. Double the color!

Hi,

Hi Jim, 1MB is the maximum file size. Thank you! Looking forward to seeing your reflection photo.
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately my files are to large & when compressed don’t look good.
