Light in the Dark - Reflection Hunters Contest
Hello lovely Hiveans !
Today I would like to participate in the Reflection Hunters Contest that is hosted by @annephilbrick - I chose a picture of a water reflection for this purpose. It s a reflection that was recorded during the night walk of 3 lantern heads in a water puddle - I hope you like it 😉
The Story Behind the Reflection
A few days ago I went out for a extended and quite long night walk. Also night walks are nothing that usually suit to a the vast majority of people, I am kind of a big fan of them ... When the streets and roads are deserted, when there are no cars and other people around, and you are the only person out there the whole time, it creates a feeling of serenity and comfort that helps really a lot if you are planning to sink deep inside your head for a thoughtful night. This, combined with a couple of beer on the way, is nearly something that comes close to a meditative state ... 🚶🚶🚶
I was already quite a while outside and back on the way home, having thought about life and my situation within ot up to date. I am still experiencing the aftermath of my last, and second, shoulder operation and cant move my left arm well yet, which really annoys me. In addition I still have not found a new job yet, but already completely depleted my bank account. Overall, I was in a rather depressive mood and had my had and eyes hanging down to the ground a bit. This is when I discovered this scenery here 😲
As you can see, it was not only a night dark out there, but also rained for a while before I ventured onto my night walk. This kind of reflected my mood in a way. Seeing these three light balls being reflected now, popping out unexpected of the nothing, directly cheered me up. It reminded me instantly that all what seemed so depressing right now, is just a temporary circumstance and that all these things will pass and make place for a brighter future ... My shoulder will heal, a new job will come too in a while, and some coins will be there too, that I can finally spent to go out on a happy adventure with my family or my wife alone ... It was also so suiting that there were a total of three puddles present and three light balls appearing in the reflectio 😁
This scenery cheered me up instantly and left me in a happy, positive and optimistic mood for the whole rest of the way back home. I was sleeping really good and woke up the next morning with a big smile ... That is the magic of a beer accompanied meditative night walk. You have the time for sinking deep into your own mind, feelings and wishes, and experience it from many different angles during the course ... This picture of the reflection burned itself deep in my mind and I choose it for my motto of that night. I also like to dedicate this whole post and little story around this picture 🤗

Thanks 😉 .. hehe, full-time giving would be an awesome job indeed 😁 .. blogging and reading about nature for a living sounds like a dream job, hehe ^^
It may well become a reality, especially with the current market trends :) But you might have to relocate from Germany to a cheaper destination to really be able to live off your Hive earnings :D
Hehe, when I started my journey in Hive, which was Steem back in the days, it was at a coin prize of 9 cent .. These days I started out of interest and love to the whole concept .. I would have never believed that it makes such a jump up so quickly 😱 .. but to be fair, the whole crypto world did and gets more popular every day. But yes, depending where you live and how the life expanses look like, full time Hivean may be a suitable income ^^ .. I would be happy if my Hive account would be able one day to pay all the education cost of the children, hehe, this would be awesome 😉
Nice! Black and white photo and street lamps reflection! Wish you luck in the contest. 👏 😎
Thank you very much ^^ .. let's see if I manage to get a winning place with this post 😉
Nice shooting
amazing picture what filter do you use to take b&w pictures?
Hi there @aiovo ^^ I actually use no special filter for this purpose. When I rework my pictures to black and white I open the Photos programme on my laptop and simply remove the colour from them and crop the pictures if necessary 😁 .. my mobile phone has several filters to use, but I never use them .. I prefer reviewing pictures on my laptop instead
What software do you use on laptop
By the way I have windows 10 operating system
It's the standard software of windows 10, the preinstalled one that is just called Photos ^^ .. it's has a runner, called colour, which can be used to increase or remove it gradually
ok let me try
The top picture is an excellent entry to the contest! A great idea to make it black and white!
Thank you @olgavita ^^ .. I actually really like night pictures in black and white generally .. most often they already are close to it anyway 🤣 .. thx for stopping by ;)
Thanks a lot @callmemaungthan 🤗
