How to Photograph Reflections

Late light of the day, Adam sets up before the calm, clear lake with aspen trees as background elements. He uses a polarizing filter to add warmth and, at first, shoots only the lake reflections. The result is a photograph that could be a painting. As an alternative, he composes wider images, the shoreline in the frame’s lower third. You will learn to shoot several different frames to take advantage of the golden light.

Join professional shooter Adam Barker for tips on how to photograph reflections.
