Reflections

Definition

This is a section that many of us are familiar with. Water reflections are very popular. Reflection photography is also known as mirror photography. Its basic premise is capturing an image that also has a reflective surface that is echoing the surrounding scenery. It can be in a setting as huge as the ocean, a puddle or as small as a raindrop. As long as there is a reflective surface, magic can be made.

Be creative, and think differently. Try portrait or animal reflections, Abstrast designs that are symmetrical are also good to try.
