...Capturing the world in reflections.

I fell in love with this 'last tree of Autumn' today. It was outside of a client's home, so I snapped a coupla pics to brighten up a dreary day.....

AnotherLoverToo said:

Holy cow, now that's a tree...

Byron said:

Yeah, if only those powerlines weren't so obvious.....

And I wish my camera had more pixels.....

And if it had been sunny, the array of colors would've shown up way better.....

Ah, well, it's a gorgeous tree one way or t'other!

...

The day before yesterday... while at work... with the camera attached to hip (in a holder of course), really... ~Smile.

I was up on the 2nd level... and... I caught this glimpse as I was passing this window.

1. I immediately saw it's potential...


2. Tried reviving some color... in Hpphoto...


3. Took it to PictureIt... and I absolutely love it!!!


The sections are no trick.

Oh I feel a challenge coming on!

Karen, it's all about sincerely sharing... with a true and kind heart.

...

no need for challenges...

Freespirit said:

MG... ...How exactly did you get that shot? Is that the reflection of the building in the window while looking out at the other buildings??...That, is amazing.

You always were good at capturing reflections...

I think you got the true concept... well...

as you see the solid structure or angle of the building on the right bottom corner... you can figure the window is location at the angle of that building area. I came about this image (rounding the corner) and I faced this glass image... the clouds are coming from a window directly behind me. The rest of the folage surrounding the reflected cloud image is indeed right before me through the glass I face, plus the building structure enclosed. I was amazed how the reflected square image of cloud and sky could over power the physical of what layed directly ahead so dramatically it seems it was placed through manipulation.

Yes, I surprise even myself many times. GO Julie!!!

Ugh, now I only have three hours of sleep before waking for work. I can do it!

Ps~ I removed the flash... and carefully placed myself in a place where I would not be captured in the windows image... so sneaky. ~Smile.

Beautiful Night All.

I didn't even notice the powerlines...

If you have a photo manipulation program, you may be able to punch up the contrast...that tree is full and so healthy..

It really is a stunning image... I like knowing how it came into being...a composition just waiting there to be discovered.

I think reflection and church photos are your calling...lol Thank you for sharing them.

Freespirit said:

Wow, that is stunning. Great work Julie

Here is my entry... It's the train station in Amsterdam on a (you guessed it) rainy day.

Stunning, absolutly stunning!!!. your so talented B...

BabyCakes said:

Hi Byron, I have found one more rain drop pic in my archives... I have tilted the plane of focus so that on one side the reflected house is sharp and on the other side the drops.



C'mon, beat it!

Peter said:

Sh'yeah, right...

I'm lucky to get any photos of rain living here in southern California..lol ..I think you and Julie far, far outclass me when it comes to reflection photos...(and yours is a stunner!! )

Byron said:

We have a lot of rain here usually I'm too lazy to get out in the wet world and take pictures... instead I sit in a warm room and

Thanks, Byron.
