puddle play


Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
~ Soren Kierkegaard

There are many great things about rain to write about. We'll save them for another post ;)
One of the best things about rain is the puddles it produces!
Puddles mean reflections.
Reflections add a unique element to your image
and are a great source for a creative photo opportunity!

Tips: Get low to the ground and close the water's edge:
this gives you more of the subject in the reflection.
Morning and late day are great times to shoot reflections - when the sun is low in the sky,
and you're able to get warm light to contrast with cool water tones.
Ripples provide an abstract element - and don't forget to play with long exposures!!
Avoid glare by looking for the light to fall on the subject not the water.

Think outside the puddle (fun examples of reflection photography)!

I think this set of three puddles will be a constant source of entertainment for me
as the rainy season continues.
