photographic reflections
by wastefulspace on April 23, 2008
I noticed that I’m a sucker for reflective surfaces the same as my photographer manager friend. Although I seem to have a very close relationship with puddles.
If you remember this post, it was a wet morning and it seemed like the perfect opportunity to create beautiful mirror scenes of nature.
Canon AV-1 + DNP Centuria 200
you can create such odd and curious looking photos like this one. It was the usual Hardware Committee meeting and I had my camera around. All I did was took pictures. My notebook and pen was left behind. I remember it was the first few times I carried my film camera, everybody was still in awe. Now, it’s an old hat.
Anyway, back to the reflective surfaces. I had my Vivitar UW&S in Greenbelt and I took some reflective photos from their nifty water holders. Here’s how they turned out.

You can look at one structure in so many different ways. This is the New World Hotel in perspective #1.

and here’s perspective # 2. All the shapes and angles made this photo look different from the first. Even if they’re just the same subject.
And here’s the last of my reflective series from the roll. I was lucky since this particular water pond has fountains every so and so seconds…one wrong timing and I would have ripples.

Anyway, I was pretty lucky :)
Enjoy the series!
Stumble it!
Nice! The first photo is really one of those “decisive moments” you captured the fleeting moment, and turned a static subject into an interesting photograph. Great captures, you have a keen eye.

HEllo, wow, I was wondering whether you need a certain technique, or film to capture reflections. As you have done such, in the water, or glass/

Hi Stace :D thanks for dropping by the site, The only technique for water is that the water shouldn’t be rippling to get a mirror effect, and everything else (film, technique,etc) is up to your imagination :D
