    Being Reflective

    Adobe Photoshop is fantastic and I have used it to create fake reflections; a routine image becomes something else entirely.

    Adding a reflection to an image I had taken a few years ago when staying at Edinburgh, Scotland.

    I was inspired by the painter Turner to make my moon reflection a little more painterly, at the same time it has become rather spooky.

    Adding a reflection and then experimenting with Color Efex 3.0 Pro to enhance the colour a little more.

    I think this fake water is becoming an addiction. Here is another one.

    Playing about with my fake reflections again. I also warmed the tones of the image up slightly.

    Castle Eden Reflection 2

    Adding an oil paint filter and also boosting the curves and tones a bit more.

    Using the oil paint filter in addition to a monotone conversion

    Flower Reflection

    A more intimate experiment in creating reflections; I used a macro shot of some flowers.

    A Reflective Conversation

    Using an image taken of the Conversation Piece found at South Shields, time to add some water.

    Wingwalkers Reflection

    Another experiment. I think the reflection adds impact. The 'water' almost looks tropical compared to the water they usually fly over along the coast at Sunderland.

    Red Arrows Reflect
