Reflection Pool - Tips and Photographs

[@tmeeten3195]

What a great idea. Would love to see any other images you capture there in the future. This would be ideal for bird photographers that can't "get out" anymore and they could do this in their garden.

Glad it was enjoyable.

That was really lovely Darrell! Glad to see the juvenile Robin can still fly. Beautiful images.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Many thanks!

Brilliant pool Darrell, love the images and the quality of them too. Look forward to seeing more in the future.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Many thanks

Another masterclass ..might have to think about building a pool here in Spain might get some nice visitors

It was a relative simple build. this video is a few years old but this is when I made it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHy8lGahd7N7hdE

Glad you enjoyed it

Perhaps the solution to the leaning forward and tipping the hide problem with a shorter lens is to add a 5" monitor on top the camera. I have such. For me, it makes for much better composition than peeping into a tiny viewfinder anyway.

Hi I'd like to know where you got that pop up hide from, I'd like to get one myself! Thanks

[@davefreeman4680]

Can you post a link for the hide you use please

[@jonathanhardwick1353]

Excellent and very informative as always , I seem to be having the same issues with my D750 and thought it was the lens but seeing this it could be the same. Where did you have yours repaired if you don’t mind me asking.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

I still haven't taken it for repair, but we have a couple of local camera repair places.

Hi what a lovely video, i bought my husband a reflected pool and what fantastic photos he has been able to take . I loved to see the Robin, i hope it comes back so we can see it's red breast forming. Thankyou for sharing this lovely video

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Thanks June you are welcome.

Hi Darrell, what make is that hide please? Im looking to get another but i think you might have the 2 man version of what I have..I think mine is a Nitehawk...Cheers!

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

I am not sure of the make but this is where I got it. www.a1decoy.co.uk/product/2-man-pop-up-hide-tent/

[@ekrubkramm]

Hello, I’m really keen on building a reflection pool like this, can you please let me know the width and length of your pool? Amazing work! Thanks 🎉

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

It is 3ft wide.

[@ekrubkramm]

@@DarrellOakdenPhotography thank you!

[@denisemann4694]

You’ve inspired me to try to make my own reflection pool! What is the black dye you used and where can I purchase it?

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

The black dye was from Amazon. www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07BQVG7DM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@johndoe-nh9sh]

Nicely done. I would move the pool/table further away from that hedge though to get a smoother background.

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

I did consider this but I didn't have a lot more room and I like the slightly less completely out of focus background.

[@wildlifedreams2537]

Have you photographed in Estonia

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

No I haven't. When I go abroad it is with my wife on holiday. These are not usually photographing trips.

[@sleekimagesphotography]

Can you give me info on your chair blind ?

Hi Darrell. Some lovely photos of the Blackbirds. The photos of the birds without the reflection really looked natural. Thanks Jon and Sandra

[@DarrellOakdenPhotography]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@frugeon9318]

Great video! Makes me want to get a reflection pool in my backyard here in Canada. Your shots are awesome!
