Reflections

If something that comes to mind while outdoor photography is using reflection to provide a great deal of impact to your photographs. Where ever you find reflecting surface you can think of reflecting ideas. Now , think about it, what about reflection is so attractive. Its the symmetry which makes these pictures so lovely. You have to focus on getting the body , which is being reflected , and the reflection in same amount in your frame.

Capitol , USA.

This is one of the pictures I took in Washington DC. I do not like much because I don't have whole monument in my frame. Its because the water source to reflect the building was limiting my angle. I had to keep my camera on floor ( which I hate to do ) to have what ever I have.




Now for this you don't even need DSLRs to get these output. But obviously you cannot crib about the picture quality then.

Musse Du Louvre, France.

Well, I did not want to show this piece of reflection and run away. If you are reading this you are spending time. I value time. Now , while I was in Paris I was fortunate enough to photograph Musee Du Louvre. The ambiance of a spring night here is something I cannot even begin to describe , but that is for my travel blog if I am able to write someday.

Lake Eibsee, Germany.

Lakes, on a clear sky day , can provide you amazing reflections. Just keep an eye for it. But again compose your frame to highlight the symmetry in your photograph. This one is in Germany. There is a place near Berlin where I took this picture.













The scope with reflection is unlimited. The picture below is from Lake in El Fayoum. It is in Egypt about one hour drive from Cairo. The building being reflected by water provides an amazing picture. Without reflection there is nothing much to say in this picture.
