Title: Water reflection plugin ??
Post by: lephotography on March 14, 2009, 16:56: Does anyone know what plug in is used to make this water reflection? I found alot of tutorials but they are all pretty cheesy looking. Here is an example picture of what I am looking for. dolgachov uses them all the time.

"Flood" from Flamingpear is the plug-in you want.

If used in right places, there´s no chance to tell it´s fake. Well, and then there´s those cheesy looking images...

Not to be a jerk or anything, but do images with that fake water reflection really sell? I dont think I have ever seen one done where it looked "natural" or maybe I have and it was done so well I didnt catch it.

What is the point of taking an isolated photo and adding a ripple? Wouldnt that lower the value of the photo because it wouldnt be "technically" isolated?

Post by: lephotography on May 14, 2009, 11:36: Personally for stock, I would not think it would sell. I agree they are not natural looking. I wanted to find it because I did a model shoot and wanted it for myself for an idea I had. I must be getting bored and just wanted to play. LOL

Oh, they sell trust me. I have several. They simply got rejected from some agencies, but they sell at agencies that accept this kind of images.
