reflection ideas
on: November 02, 2010, 17:12:20 PM
i need to take some reflection photography. The weather isnt good so pretty difficult to get any water reflections because of white skys & no settled water.
I need to improvise & all I can come up with so far is


any ideas for 3 others?

Ive always wanted to do something with mirrors and a laser pointer to see about getting some elaborate pattern going in the dark.

Could always try light painting against a mirror, or doing something along the lines of those mirror shots where half a body/object is reflected?

Something like this:

I like that. It would be quite funky to get a reflection of a sunny landscape on some sunglasses for the irony value.

I thought about the sunglasses idea, but we dont have a blue sky, or any good scenery.. Its a pity because theres a glass building close by, but with no decent
blue sky & white fluffy clouds there is no photo there.

Depends, if you get your face reflected in the spoon it can be both...
