I always try to get mirrored photos, and I'm never really happy with them. This one happened totally unplanned. I've got the best dog ❤️
Finally got a reflection photo I'm happy with! [OC]

Really great shot. Really. You can sell this.

I'm super happy with this one. So glad Bowie helped out.
I do a calendar for Christmas, I think this would make an awesome addition for 2025.

Hell yeah. Great calendar. Could probably get a good price on the dog, too. Handsome feller.

Bowie knew what you were after, he's got your back

He even got the composition right. I was at the limit of my zoom at the other end of the pool, if I was closer I would have probably made the image too tight.

At first glance it looked like a dog on a stick.

Oh heck. I usually have to shoot around 1/800th of a second to avoid a blurry dog. Indoor I'll go as low as 1/160th because Bowie is better at posing.
To even out water I'd need to shoot a 1 second exposure at least 😄(I've tried these in the past) it's not happening 😁
Though... I do wonder if a 1/160th would be enough to even out the water a little 🤔🤔🤔 because you're right it's pretty jittery

Honestly it's just hard for me to think about exposures and camera settings when doing Bowie photos, I tend to be pretty reactive.

Another, more Photoshop heavy solution is to take multiple photos in burst mode (say, 5x 1/800) and then load them all in a single Photoshop file, align them, and do median blending. This should smooth out the ripples as well I think, although I'd only apply this to the bottom to ensure you don't get artifacts on doggo.

Interesting! I did shoot this in burst. Gonna jump into lightroom to see how many I took with this pose.
Thanks for the tip!

Now rotate it 180° and put it on the wall.
