Critique Welcomed Tabletop Reflections

[Kev Pugh]

I really did want it to rain properly this evening but sadly it just wasn't heavy enough for what I had planned, you can always trust the British Weather to do the opposite to what you want...oh well I'm sure I'll have other opportunities during the summer

That first one is a bit clever Kev - great idea, and nicely done

Do you have an ND grad filter in your kit?

You could shoot the same shot, ND grad on the top half - and get an even more imposing reflection I think

Thanks Chris, yes I do have ND grad but didn't have it with me as was travelling light good idea that...

Id say rain in this country is a pretty fair bet Kev............ I was hoping to get out this weekend but the forecast is not a happy one........... and I don't like getting wet

Great idea Kev. I like them a lot. A couple of years ago I saw an exhibition of photos of Prague all shot as reflections in puddles. When I'm back in Potsdam I'll look up the link for her.

 

[Kev Pugh]

Thanks Pete look forward to seeing that

I have always had an interest in reflections, and the opposite in fact, something to do with the way how I see people behave. Most look at the ground when bumbling along their way,no eye contact, no looking ahead, no vision, just the few paces ahead of them, so it's sort of natural for a reflection to give a view of how they see the world around them. The opposite being to show them what they are not seeing by looking at the ground as they bumble their way around...the roof lines and things above the eye line...if that make sense?

It does indeed Kev. I wish I could remember her name. Blanka Lamprova or similar. I have a link on my computer in Germany. I really should synchronise them!
