A favorite little trick...shhhhh:) This can be done with virtually any camera…
...there was a pond by the house with a nice clearing allowing the sun to hit the water as it set. There are always a few ducks and geese around resulting in small feathers littering the surrounding grass. I decided on a good angle where the sun reflected nice on the water.
Crouching along the bank of the water I placed a feather on the water and blew it into the direction of the reflection. Once it was where I wanted it, I tossed small pebbles into the water one by one out of frame and waited for the ripple to pass the feather…then shot away. This effect can be done with many different objects.
There is another where I placed a stick into the muddy bottom…allowing a small section of the stick to protrude from the water. With pebbles in hand I sat and waited…sure enough…a dragon fly and some damsel flies wanted to use the stick for a perch. It only took a few minutes before they began to use the new perch. Grab a camera and give it a shot!
