Reflection is the Change in Direction

Reflection is the Change in Direction of a wave front (spirit) at an interface between two different media so that the wave front returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of Light, 

Reflection is the Change in Direction

We sometimes take Light for granted. It turns out that, with a bit of persuasion, Light would show us things we thought we would never see.

The Light tells us this

You are from the Father, little Children, and you have conquered them. Because the One who is in You, is Greater than the one who is in the world.

    1. Thank you very much Eromonsele, yes, sometimes our Father speaks to us in so many different ways. I see His hands in everything around me. 🙂

  5. Beautiful reflections of the birds on the water Sandra – I love to see the reflections and you have said in the past that the tranquil waters give the best reflections. The heron does not even look the same as a comparison in your two pictures. The egret looks so very regal, as does his reflection.

    1. Thank you Linda, yes there is one spot on the river where I go that stays pretty calm like this most days. So it is fun to try and photograph the birds there.

      1. I was at the Creek one morning and there is a large dead tree there. It was a gray day and the tree’s reflection on the water was just amazing. You could not tell the tree from the reflection. I hurried up and got the camera out and just then a couple of ducks landed nearby and made ripples. I waited forever for them to paddle away, but it never got quite as calm as before.

  7. Sandra, your pictures are mind blowing. The detail in all of them blow my mind. Just wow!! I feel like I’ve just touched by magic. THANK YOU!! xo

    1. Thank you Amy, I truly appreciate that. The more we believe, the more He reveals, the more we see. Blessings to you and your family.

  11. Great shots! I always love getting the reflection photos but composition is always a conundrum for me. It seems reflection photos always have to break the rule of thirds and/or splitting the photo midway with the horizon. I’ve seen others crop the photos square and it looks good. Tips or suggestions appreciated! William

    1. Thank you William, Yes, reflections are so much fun to do. If I am trying to capture the complete reflection of the subject, I normally put the water level right down the middle. Unless, like with a bird, if I want to just capture the wing tip or tail feathers right at the water, I will cut most of the reflection off except what is touching the water. With birds, I like to put them at the left or right of the rule of thirds, depending on which direction they are looking. That leading line of eye sight gives a photo a little more depth I think. But the rule of thirds is also just a suggestion, it can be broken. If I want to showcase the feathers on the back of the bird and there is nothing else in the photo, I will put them right in the middle and bring the subject close to the viewer. Because I want them to see only the details of the bird and nothing else. Does that make sense? And with birds, as you know, sometimes you just have to take the shot, not always time for composition 🙂

    1. Thank you, these are sure strange times going on and it is easy to be distracted by things that are not always in our best interest.

    1. Thank you, and yes, I do ware camouflage now. I never did when I started years ago, and then I read how even sunlight reflecting off of our skin on our hands can spook a bird. So my first day out with camouflage was amazing, how they did not spook as much and came so much closer to where I am sitting.

    1. Yes, the one with his back to the camera. Sometimes the camera does not pick up all the colors of these birds. They do have a blue color to them more in the spring.

      1. That’s not the problem. I’m amazed at how clean this heron is compared with the scruffy look when he’s wet. 🙂 They are in fact very beautiful birds.
