Reflections

Reflections… For this project you don’t want to capture the image like you normally would, you want to focus on capturing the image in a reflection. This can be done by shooting any type of reflective surface and focusing on your subject not the reflective surface. This will usually throw the reflective surface out of focus and your subject in focus.  If you focus on the surface then that is all you will capture. So what types of reflective surfaces are you looking for?  Water, puddles, shiny glass buildings, mirrors, a side or rear view mirror, glass windows, metallic items,  etc… anything that you see a reflection in will work.

Over the next week, make 20-30 images using the ideas presented here for working with reflection and choose one image to share with us. Carefully consider how the use of reflection adds to the image. How does it impact the viewer’s experience of the final image? How does the reflection influence the way the picture feels? Look long and hard to find interesting and unusual reflections!
