The key to getting dramatic photos of reflections is to get your camera as close as you can to the ground.
I am using the same technique I mentioned earlier when photographing mushrooms in my yard. I am using LIVE VIEW with the Nikon D750 and flipping out the LCD screen so I can compose my shots.

I also used this same technique to get photos of the shells on the beach. I set the aperture to ƒ/16 and focused on the shell closest to me.

The beach was just wonderful this evening and I was able to capture the clouds catching the last bit of sunshine as the sun dipped below the horizon.

I kept playing with the horizon and what to include or exclude in the photo.

Here I eliminated most of the sky and just captured the reflection of the sky with the waves in the background.

Here I brought the camera up a little so the reflection isn't quite as good. Now I am just getting the hint of the sky in the reflections off the water.
Now you know.

All comments are reviewed.This is done primarily to eliminate spamming. Please be patient, I maybe on assignment and unable to review right away.
But to increase meaningful conversation, sometimes it’s necessary to reduce the not-so-meaningful bits. Here are the kinds of things we’ve been deleting in recent posts. Please avoid these types of comments:
One-word comments like “Cool!” or “Thanks!” While we appreciate the congrats, we’d love to hear more about what exactly you love, and (even more importantly) why.
Shameless self-promotion. Comments that contain links to your site within the body or otherwise encourage folks to visit your blog are a no-no. If you’d like to increase traffic to your blog, there are other places than here to do that.
Multiple comments by one author. We’re glad you want to be engaged, but please give others a chance to speak, too.
Really long comments. Let’s just say that if you need to take more than three breaths to read your comment, it’s probably too long.
