View from a bridge

This is another shot of the Raithwaite lake. Railings, parapets, balustrades etc are often something of a hindrance to photography from wheelchair level. In this instance I tried holding the camera up above the barrier and shooting blind. I clicked away for a minute, hoping for the best. Only one was worth keeping - see below. I took the above picture by shooting lower than my usual viewpoint, well at least I could see the viewfinder to frame and focus. I think it turned out ok. The stone pillars actually seem to add something to the shot and the reflection was an unintended bonus.

    A beautiful scene, liked how the colors stay as it is on the reflections.

    These are really nice shots. I love the columns in the foreground of the first. And the second one's reflections are so perfect it takes a moment to see where land stops and the reflections begin. Kathy

    The pillars do add a certain perspective to the view, which I like. but they are also annoying in a certain way!

    I like them both. The framing of the first lends much interest and the colors of the second are wonderful.

    I always have to fight with the kind of picture you took (Nr 1 picture) you did great.
    DIfferent frames in the same picture... nice.
