This spring, I again immersed myself in the world of colored reflections in puddles. This is a separate frequency, unlike anything else, it's a different world and I really like it!
I already know where to look for reflections in puddles and how to do it.
But I still had difficulty finding plots.
As always, it all comes down to finding the puddles themselves near the bright signage.
Usually, where there are puddles, people do not go, and they try to get rid of them near the shops.
But I remembered that the best source of bright colored lights would be a digital banner with a changing picture!
They usually stand near roads where there are puddles on the sidewalks or roadsides.
And I don't need huge puddles, small palm-sized puddles are enough.
A single color source is only suitable for one or two images.
Multi-colored reflections require a lot of signage, and these are just shopping malls.
Fortunately, one such shopping center turned out to have a huge puddle with mud.
By the way, you need to try different textures.
For example, for the first time I photographed reflections in puddles of mud and even in the grass.
Last year it was mostly a snow porridge.
The textures of broken asphalt look best.
The reflection itself is not interesting as a fact, it is the junction of water and soil that is needed.
Therefore, I usually look for such plots on the edges of puddles, where the earth begins...or ice.
I'll have to try it in the summer or fall.
