Photography Project – Reflection

This year I plan on progressing my knowledge in the world of photography.  I have quite a few books to read to get me started but I thought why not create some little projects around things that interest me or inspire me??

The first project I am going to take on for the next couple of weeks is about reflection.

[blockquote source=”Wikipedia”]In geometry, the mirror image of an object or two-dimensional figure is the virtual image formed by reflection in a plane mirror; it is of the same size as the original object, yet different, unless the object or figure has reflection symmetry (also known as a P-symmetry).[/blockquote]

If you don’t look for something then how do you expect to find it?  Reflections are all around us, may it be a puddle, a river, a loch or even a man made material such as a window. If you fancy getting involved please feel free to post a link to your masterpiece(s) in the comments below :). After the mini project has finished I’ll be creating a post in how it went and will share anyone else’s work who got involved.

Preparation

I thought I would head have a little search to see if there were any videos/blog posts that would give me some good pointers, the following is what I found.

• How to Photograph Reflections for awesome results by Jason Row
• Photo tips for twilight cityscape reflections by Juergen Roth
• Water reflection techniques : how to increase the impact of your landscapes by J Meyer
• How to photograph reflections in water

Keep shooting with Bryan Peterson

Influence

The reason this came about is I have seen some fantastic examples on Flickr.  Some of which are thinking right outside of the box.

Plenty more fantastic examples over on Flickr.
