Reflections

Water, glass, polished surfaces all give us an opportunity to photograph in an indirect way to show the world in an oblique way.

 

Lakes, rivers, puddles, mirrors, car bonnets, glass, chrome, not forgetting Modern office block windows, shop windows, this will be a challenge for me hope you all enjoy the challenge.

No restrictions on processing work.

Great subject - drat it, I shall not be able to enter.

I'll look forward to seeing the outstanding work I'm sure will be posted when I get back from my hols. If I can find an internet cafe I might even vote.

Good luck everyone.

Howard.

Good choice Steve. Can you clear one thing up though - does it have to be reflections from something reflective, i.e. mirror as you say - or can it be expanded in a more general sense to say include 'Reflections of a time gone by' etc etc? Hopefully you get my meaning?

or maybe reflection as in near symetry and therefore balance?

Oh now then, I do get your meaning totally, my idea was of an image from a reflective surface mirroring the things around them like mountain  reflections in a lake or shoppers reflections in a shop window, so ummmm (Cat amounts the pigeons) I would say from a reflective surface so as not to confuse issues.

okey dokey - or however it's spelt

Great idea Steve. Look forward to seeing lots of entries this week, especially as you're doing the poll.

I'll have to have a go at this one, as I can never seem to get a good reflection - so maybe if I try a little bit harder!!! LOL

Flipping 'eck!!! What a subject to choose, especially as I took these a couple of weeks ago whilst on holiday....





The fly landed on the bathroom mirror and was more than polite in allowing me to take a number of shots.

Will have to see what I can come up with this weekend.

Good luck.

Steve
