About the Reflections Series
The inspiration for the Reflections in the River Ouse series came to me on the Cliffe Bridge where I paused early on a glorious mid-summer morning to watch the river flowing slowly, languidly out to sea. The air was still and the reflections in the river unusually clear. I pulled out my camera and started shooting, capturing only the reflections in the frame.
In contrast to that first morning of calm waters when I shot reflections of the West bank, the wind was blowing strong gusts the evening I photographed the East bank, making the water quite choppy and the reflections more abstract.
All ten photographs were taken at dawn or dusk – the golden hour – when the sun was soft and warm, and in all cases at high tide.

This is great work! I’m a big fan of reflections myself.
Thank you Verena. It looks like you’ve got an interesting project going on with your ‘day at a time’ tagline on your blog. I’ll take a closer look later today, after I’ve met one of my work deadlines!

What a superb post. The reflections are just beautiful, all watercolour masterpieces. Excellent.
Thank you for you lovely comment David. These images were all exhibited, printed at 75cm x 50cm, and they looked really stunning hanging on the wall together in the same arrangement as above — you could really look into the detail of the distortions caused by the movement in the water, which many people found fascinating. I remember one guy in particular staring for ages at ‘Harveys Wall’ (top row, second from left).
What a beautiful series! Dream like.
Another lovely comment, thank you Karen!
Amazing :)
Thank you, much appreciated :-)
Beautiful images! Love reflections. Love their dreamy mood…
Thanks Lucy :-) I enjoyed shooting this series, working with the combined challenges of the tide and weather.
Beautiful! Work of Art!
