Newtown, Pennsylvania (reflections of a car and trees in a puddle)I was all set to take a picture of the reflection of the trees in the puddle when I heard a car coming. At first I was a little annoyed but then I thought this is something I haven't tried before and even if it doesn't look good the original photo idea will still be there. I was in the middle of trying to make up my mind when the car entered the puddle so I took two fast shots and hoped for the best. I liked the results and I like them even better in black and white and rotated 180 degrees. As you can see I was too close to capture the whole car in one frame with my 50mm lens. Always be ready for unexpected photo opportunities! :)

I hope you weren't driving while shooting! Beautiful captures!
Nice puddle reflection James ! The B & W is really nice choice on those one...
So sharp! Amazing.
What a creative idea!! Reflections are amazingly clear! I hope you didn't get water spray.
Have a great weekend!
Stunning!
Happy weekend.
Zoom, zoom. Great idea, it pays to make lemonade out of your lemons.
wonderful reflection James!
Totally cool! I would never have realized it was a reflection.
Have a great weekend.

I was also thinking I was glad you didn't get splashed.
This really is a unique and wonderful reflection!
Now that's a puddle reflection extraordinaire!
Amazing shot!
Love the black and white! Awesome reflections James.
Have a wonderful weekend.

B&W is perfect!
I love these shots
they're disorienting in a really good way :)
Very clever composition, I like the reflection of the reflection of the wheel!
Neat puddle reflection, James!
Oups ! J'ai d'u regarder à deux fois, avant de comprendre que tu n'avais pas jeté ta voiture à l'eau ! Great !
You did it very well James, brilliant pictures, the car reflected on the puddle looks perfect, a mirror reflection!And the reflection is so clean, I like a lot! :)
Hugs and happy weekend,

It took me a good while to even realize it was a reflection!
We never know where we will find reflections or how they will look when we download. The photographer must always be alert to the possibilities.
Terrific! And isn't it fun and sometimes surprising where we find them!! Martha is right, we do have to be alert to the possibilities! Hope you have a great weekend, James! Enjoy!

Very cool catch with the MOVING car. Great idea. I suppose had the shot not worked, after the puddle settled down, you could have gotten your trees just the same. Glad the unexpected happened.
Love that wave!
You remind me I don't experiment enough. These are cool, James. The first one especially turned out interesting, and I can believe the effect is better in b+w.
Deffo brill work James.
Excellent! An action reflection and the reflection is sharper than the direct image.
Cool photos, James! Sometimes the most unexpected shots quickly become favourites...:)

Great shots!
I like it, pretty cool James!
These are nice and clear for a moving car. And you did get some nice trees in there too.
Puddles create strange and eerie realities, bending the usual into the unique! These photos are wonderful!
What I like is that you're willing to try ANYthing!
Thanks for the explanation - I would have gone crazy ruminating about what that "little reflective streamer"(haha) hanging from the tree could be!
Really unusual shots! A good reward for your quick and daring thinking.
That's great! And you had the trees too;o)

Have a happy weekend****
I liked the second photo a lot.
I was not able to connect with your linky. It doesn't move .
you are good ! 2 shots and you have caught the front and the back of the car ! well done !
Great shots!
Have a lovely weekend!!
That was fast thinking ! And fast shooting ! I wouldn't want to have to participate in a duel with you...
:-)
Love the angle of the first shot James and yes, B&W rules! Nice work.
Interesting photos. Thanks for sharing.
All the best, Boonie
Very clever photos, James! Thanks for taking them and sharing.
Incroyable ! Great work!
You were in the "wrong" place at the right time! Creative!
The water has to be cold and pure to offer a possibility of such a perfect and clear reflection!
This is really cool! Honestly, I first wondered how you did this until it dawned on me that you must have rotated the image. Love the idea, it turned out great.
Very interesting angles.
indeed interesting, ive never thought of a compo this way! it rocks!
Fascinantes ces photos. Je me suis amusé à les tourner dans tous les sens, ce qui à chaque fois leur donne un sens différent. Bravo
I'm really, really late! I hope some of you will stop by anyway!
