Ok I put no due date so people don't think they are late. You can post in this thread as often as you like, and when ever you like.


This assignment is "REFLECTIONS". Now what we are looking for is unusual places to find a reflection. Use your imagination, and keep your eyes peeled. Have fun, and I am looking forward to your entries.


**Especially you DIO!!!***

Saw the post with night shot water reflection above and remembered I took these about 3 years ago when in the US. I hope they are not inappropriate to post here. Taken with my old 2mp sony. Longest exposure is 2secs, just long enough for these to have worked.

Thanks BB. With them being photos of a place that has brought so much pain and destruction to so many people, I didnt want them to bring back those memories for anyone on here.

Hello all. This is my first post here. Here are two shots of the River Liffey in Dublin. The other three were taken in London, Bruges and Malaga. Any comments or critiques would be most welcome. I look forward to chatting with you all and seeing your work on this forum (and learning from you). Cheers . Barry.

A waitress that had just stepped outside for a quick smoke, she looked tired and i had to take a snap (As i was attempting street photography). Not the most imaginative reflection but i think it conjurs up the way she was feeling, or atleast puts it into some sort of context. Wasn't sure whether to post this on "Shoot Without Looking" or "Reflections" as it was shot from the hip..

Lol shoot from the hip. Well she probably wouldn't aprieciate you taking her picture so it's a good thing that you didn't use the viewfinder, she would have noticed that.

K_Pugh
05-18-2008, 03:41 AM
lol yup well she was facing me at first and i looked back and she was turning the other way otherwise i would have made the effort so i just took a qquick snap and moved on.. wasn't being pervy it's just not easy pointing an SLR in someones face!

Nice Pics, I love the Quays of Dublin

My attempt, its kinda abstract I guess, Its a water drop on a CD, so you have light reflecting off the CD and into the water, there are also the reflections of the lights I was using (a reading light) in the drop.

I had an idea to do something with a sink just this afternoon. I don't think it will turn up a reflection though, so if and when I take it, I'll post it elsewhere.

I'm liking these challenges! This is just what I need to practice with!

This fountain is at the Shelter Insurance Home office in Columbia Missouri. My wife works there. It is real tricky because the lights and the pattern keeps changing. Out of 10 shots this is the only one that was not just white. I kind of got lucky and will go up this weekend for more practice to get just the right timing.
Thanks for the words.

It is in Millenium Park on Michigan Ave. The whole park is awesome. I think is actually supposed to be a cloud. But we, the unwashed masses, think it looks like a bean.

It is supposed to be a cloud? I don't see it. I would have to agree with you in saying it looks like a bean or maybe a water droplet.
Either way it is way cool!

Its called cloud gate or something, but its the bean, nobody would know what you were talking about if you didnt call it the bean.

Anyways heres one I took for this thread, but by the time I got the film developed and scanned I forgot about it

I'm having trouble deciphering the first one's reflections. Were you shooting from inside, through a window to the car outside, so that we see some reflection of you (or something) toward the left side of the photo?

I really like the smoothness of the out of focus background of the second one. With what were you shooting and at what settings?

chondamx
06-22-2008, 10:17 PM
The first is actually shot at my girlfriends car window(bathing suit and purse visible, ha) while standing next to it and the reflection of the miata is projected...along with the reflection in the car mirror and door. The second was shot with a Canon XSI with a 55-250 Canon IS lens. I really don't remember what I had everything set to, though. Thanks for the comments!

I see what your saying but i can't really decide either. I looked up reflection and it could go both ways. They say reflection is to bounce or return light, heat, or sound but then it all so says to bend or change direction of such wave. Which it is bending the wave but its not really changing the direction.

In the end i think I'm going to deep in to this and don't really know what to think. :confused:

I think the 'bigness' works for this image, letting us better see the reflections in the drops. This shot would have worked as well for the shallow depth of field assignment. Pretty cool. I like how the stamen (??) is not on the half line of the image, but above it. Was it captured that way or did you end up cropping?

Wow. This was a technically difficult shot! How did you end up metering for the watch and its reflection versus the bright sky background? I believe I see grains of sand on the wrist. Was there sand near the head of the person being reflected in the watchband that might have acted as a 'reflector' bouncing light toward the watch? This could be a 'product' shot for a catalog. Nice, nice work.

It lends itself to a variety of different crops for varying effects/moods, and so could be 'mined' for more images than just this one.

This image itself might change in mood with a curves adjustment layer for accentuating contrast. The top of the structure becomes a bit lost against the sky. This isn't necessarily bad, but is it achieving the effect that is wanted?

zandman, I was trying to figure out where you could have been shooting what I thought was your third photo, to get the fetus and the fish in the same shot. Then I realised that the fish are in a separate photo, just along side the other, rather than under the other. Talk about optical illusion.

And it was originally shot like that. I think I had originally wanted it in the middle, but my shaky hands moved it up a bit. And I do see why it looks better a teensy bit above the center.

93formulalt1, your photos are nice. You might consider the next time you post, putting a bit of space between them. For example, after inserting an image, press the return key once or twice, then insert the next image. This will provide a bit of space so that those viewing can better visualize each image on its own merits.

I liked your first image most, with the borders of the canal acting as lead in lines to bring the eye further into the image. I also like how nicely focused and exposed it is.

Sorry about that, I always forget to add spaces. . . In time, I'll make a habit of it.

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it. I have to be honest with you though, I really have no idea what I'm doing with this camera. It is so much more capable than I am at present, and I still can't get the hang of changing the settings and what values to change in certain conditions, etc. I'm still working with it, and the pictures that have turned out really only did through pure luck. I'll get the hang of it, I'm trying to find a "Cheat Sheet" to use for the technical stuff, the rest will come with practice. That's why I'm jumping into these assignments feet first.

Thanks again!

I'd found myself a bit frustrated with the skimpy manual which had come with my 40D, and found an entire book devoted to it. It was quite helpful. I just got the 40D this past spring. I'm not having to refer back to the manuals as frequently now. I'm having to stop less to think about how to go about setting the parameters I'd like. But this learning curve is all part of the fun, eh?

Hm...

I don't have any private messaging options available to turn on. Perhaps I don't have enough posts yet?

I'm familiar with vBulletin driven sites so I know what options should be where, but they're not there. :(

ETA: Since I don't have PM capabilities in my profile, I activated the ability to send me e-mail. If you click on my username, it should have a "Send email to Pugs" option.

EATA: I'm loving this site so much that I paid to be a subscriber and "LO"! I have PM capabilities now. I guess subscribing overrides the post-count requirement. The "Send email to Pugs" option has been removed.

I like how much of the image is taken with the tele lens. And the grass that's reflected in the lens itself is in focus.

Actually, I was using a (advanced) point and shoot, with no additonal lenses, but I use a convertor, to use that lense.

Plus I was just in one of the scene modes taking the picture, but I was able to pull up the EXIF data, and the aperture was 2.8

When I hit Quote to respond to your post and question, I see that you have entered the url of your images probably by having clicked on the Insert Link icon above the message window.

I'm not familiar enough with pbase to know how to locate the url of the particular image, but in flickr, we can click on our image and be brought to a page where we can click on 'All Sizes.' We then scroll down to see and copy the url of the size we want.

Once that is copied, here at the message window, click on the Insert Image icon and paste the url that was copied at your site.

I attempted to right click on one of your images at pbase, but it's protected,so I couldn't show by example. Sorry.

If that's not confusing enough, PM me so I can confuse you more! :)

Your first image shows this as the address between the IMG brackets:

Your second (and third resembles it) looks like this:
