I photographed the clouds in the window of our minivan. You see part of the mirror and part of the window frame. The reflection slightly distorted the clouds on the left hand side and you see partially through the window.Enjoy and happy photographing!

I created this reflection with the help of my good old guitar. The black shiny surface is a great reflector and I used a rose that I picked from my backyard.

enjoy and happy photographing!

Many times glass reflects and also lets you look through it. You can create nice images with this double function in mind. I shot this image at dusk. I cropped part of the outside lamp to let the viewer focus on the window.

Enjoy and have a great day!

In an image your eyes will automatically go to the brightest spot. This is important to consider because the original is many times brighter than the reflection. In order to lead the eyes onto the reflection it is necessary to use other elements. In this image I did not include the light skies in the image. I only used the red of the sunset and the dark tower that is reflected in the water. In addition I included rock on the front right side which as a single point draws attention to itself and the reflection in the water. The rock also gives the image quite a good depth of field.

Enjoy and happy photographing!

If you open your eyes and look for reflections you will find them at in windows, water, metal, mirrors etc. Photograph these reflections where the reflections fills at least 50% of the frame.

I photographed at a pond real early in the morning. There was a duck swimming in the water that created some light ripples.

Enjoy and happy photographing!
