@Helveticum - reflections are a gift for the street snapper. Madrid - barrio Huertas I think. Winter light. Rangefinder and film. Cheers - I.

@Helveticum - Evening H. - 'how do you usually meter those shots?' - Sometimes I carry a hand-held meter and just measure the ambient light as I go along. Almost all my personal cameras are fully manual and need to be adjusted as appropriate. For reflection pictures - if you are just using the camera meter - expose for the highlights and the shadows will look after themselves. With b&w I over-expose the film by a third of a stop as standard. So - with FP4 - the meter would be set at 100 iso. You get a 'thicker' neg that scans better. Hope that answers your question. Cheers - I.

Interesting, I was under-exposing mine by a third last time.. Will try the opposite and see how that scans, thanks for the clue!

@Whitefiver - that's an excellent example of the genre. Reflections are also interesting if it's the subject that is reacting to a reflection - one that can't be seen by the photographer. Young man on his way to work checking his hair in a shop window - no oil painting. The unfashionable back-streets of Malaga - early in the morning. In the rain. Rangefinder and Voigtlander 40mm. Cheers - I

@Helveticum - not a reflection in sight. Sea birds over the Bosphorus. Looking towards the Prince Islands. Rangefinder and film. 35 or 50mm - not sure. Yellow filter. I.

Farol Beach in Mosqueiro Island in 2014.
This is a river beach, sweet and warm water.

A colourful garden, very nice.

A colourful garden, very nice.

Oh thank you
There is a good place. Plants grow fast.
Black earth and lots of rain.
The temperature is between 25 and 30 celsius year-round.
And the rains that usually fall at 2:00 p.m. and 5 p.m. refresh the weather.

It sounds wonderful but too hot for me!
