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 ❀️

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 πŸ˜„(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 πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€” because you're right it's pretty jittery

Honestly it's just hard for me to think about exposures and camera settings when doing Bowie photos, I tend to be pretty reactive.

Another, more Photoshop heavy solution is to take multiple photos in burst mode (say, 5x 1/800) and then load them all in a single Photoshop file, align them, and do median blending. This should smooth out the ripples as well I think, although I'd only apply this to the bottom to ensure you don't get artifacts on doggo.

Interesting! I did shoot this in burst. Gonna jump into lightroom to see how many I took with this pose.

Thanks for the tip!
