thanks for the replies, I would like to get some sort of wide angle lens, make things easier, wouldn't have to take as many shots.
only after taking the pictures did I realize I had such great reflections, so I salvaged what I could.
Try to find a lens that suits your needs, but be prepared they can be expensive
About the last picture invest in some polarized filter, it work miracles in reflections, blown out surfaces and the sky.
