Reflections and composition

December 11, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

Landscape photography is not always about great big open spaces. Telephoto lenses can also produce nice landscape images. We do not always need large open areas to get decent images. Interest can be generated by reflections and composition.

Here is an image with reflections. The light is nice and so too is the color. The colorful tree on the left serves as the first anchor. The viewer's eyes then go deeper into the image to the bright reflection just to the right and to the back of the image. This helps to create depth. The bright tree on the left is balanced with the tree and its reflection on the right.

          This scene is quite intimate. There is no open wide space. There is no clouds or sky. The whole scene is based on reflection and composition. Let's not just look for the classical landscape images. There is much that can be shot using reflections and composition.
