Reflection Work Dairy

Reflection Work Dairy
In this lesson i made an image bank on reflection and then went out to shoot reflection. I found it fairly easy as reflection can be shown in many places however i was unable to take a image where the refection is distorted.
Here are my two of my most successful images.

 In the first image i took a self portrait in a glass window, this was effective as the reflection was clear.

In my second image i though it was effective to have the object in the image as well as the reflection.

If i was to continue with reflection i would try and capture some images where the reflection is distorted such as the reflection in a car.

Reflection image back

This first  image is showing the reflection of flowers on to water. The brightness of the flower makes the reflection clear and easy to see. Also the fact that the water is still, the refection is not distorted.  In this second image, the funfair is being reflected on to water aswell. However the fair ground wheel appears to be stretched making the reflection appear distorted.

In this image the refection of the bird is not as clear cut and sharp as the flower reflection. This is because the water is moving which is causing the reflection to be distorted.
In this second image the reflection is created by a puddle. All you can see is the reflection which is different from the other images as they contain the object and the reflection.

In this image the reflection is almost separating the sea and sky. All of the reflections in this image are black which contrasts the bright sun in the background.
 

In this last image it is just showing the reflection of a small section of the tree in a puddle. You are easily able to distinguish what the reflection is a the water in the puddle is still.

This photograph is showing the reflection of a can of drink in a puddle. Puddles are one way of creating a reflection. In some cases the reflection from a puddle does not come out as sharp and defined as other reflection however in this case the can can be seen clearly due to the plain dark background that it is contrasting against.

This photograph is showing the reflection of a black and white feather on what looks like to be a mirror. Using a mirror to create reflection is one of the simplest ways there is. The reflection of the feather appears to be blurred and not as sharp as the actually feather. This makes it easy to separate the different between the reflection and the actually feather itself. The black and white stripes are also easily defined in the reflection due to them being simple but bold.

This photograph is showing the reflection of a green scenery which is being reflected on to the lake in the photograph. In the reflected scenery some of the elements appear to be longer than they really are. The fact that the sky is also reflected onto the lake it makes the lake almost look like it is not there and that it is actually the sky.The lake is still meaning that the reflection is able to look sharp and almost real.

This is photograph is showing reflection in two ways. The first way is the reflection on the lake that they swans are in, and the second way is the two swans being opposite each other which almost shows a mirror reflection. The dark water makes the two swans and their reflection standout even more and therefore they appear much more sharp and defined.

My definition of reflection is throwing back of a object.
