I always try to get mirrored photos, and I’m never really happy with them. This one happened totally unplanned. I’ve got the best dog ❤️

    Probably a large ask of your doggo, but have you tried a slightly long-term exposure? I know longer term exposures will smooth out the ripples and provide a better glass-like reflection, but I’m unsure how long that would be, and whether or not your dog would willingly sit there for that long.

      Oh heck. I usually have to shoot around 1/800th of a second to avoid a blurry dog. Indoor I’ll go as low as 1/160th because Bowie is better at posing.

      To even out water I’d need to shoot a 1 second exposure at least 😄(I’ve tried these in the past) it’s not happening 😁

      Though… I do wonder if a 1/160th would be enough to even out the water a little 🤔🤔🤔 because you’re right it’s pretty jittery
