Reflecting on reflections – a favorite subject.

Bold reflection of the Fernandina Beach Post Office. Taken with a Fujifilm X-A10 with Canon FD 24mm f2.8 lens.

I think I enjoy the challenge and the opportunities presented by reflections when composing difficult shots. Should both subjects be in focus or only the primary subject? I think of photographing reflections as creating double exposures and I also view reflections as a way of seeing something new in an otherwise ordinary image.

Subtle reflections in a jewelry store window. Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Florida. Taken with a Fujifilm X-A10 with Canon FD 24mm f2.8 lens.
Fujifilm X-A10 with Canon FD 24mm f2.8 lens and Fotodiox adapter. There’s even reflections in this shot which I love to see.
Centre Street, Fernandina Beach, Florida. Reflections in a classic doorway.
Reflected buildings in the late afternoon sun. Amelia Island, Florida.
Natural reflections – the best kind. A summer sky over the salt marsh, Amelia River, Florida.

If only we could see through walls, life would be…

Easier? Harder? Less private? Fun?

Which do you think? I pick…

There we go. If only we could see through the roof think of all the clouds we’d see.
A plane but not much else.
Move closer, change your perspective – see more.
The way some people see the world.
That’s better. Take a wider view of things – be more open (you’ll see more and be happier).
Peaceful sunrise along the Northeast Florida coast (Atlantic Ocean).

Fun!

Everything good in life starts with a solid foundation.

November 2011. Taken during a rough period in my life both physically and mentally.

A walk in the woods is a good place to get your head on straight.

My garden fence.
Almost ten years ago now. Where does it go?

Thank you for stopping by – wishing you inner happiness and a peaceful day.

My one quarter Irish ancestry wishes all a very Happy St. Paddy’s Day! My roots… Irish, Scottish, German, Slovakian, and Long Island!

Vultures at the drive-thru!?

Chris and Carol 1 Comment

There’s fast food and then there’s buzzard food. These guys were hanging out at the dumpster at the local Burger King drive-thru. They look hungry.

Buzzards hanging at the dumpster. Must be something “good” in there.
Takin’ a break from dumpster diving.

Right after we placed our order at the drive-thru we noticed a few other local customers enjoying the dollar menu.
