I have chosen to include these images and the show the range in reflections that can be produced. I think they show you natural reflection and relfection that has been altered by man to create the image they want. They can be used to express different emotions alongside the use of colour and tone. These pictures also show how reflections can be distaughted or an exact copy of whats being reflected.

 

My defintion: Reflection is a copy or replica of and sound or image shown at the same time.

Work diary - reflection:

In this session we was given the topic of reflection. I found this topic quite hard as I found it hard to find creative pictures that show reflection, I found my self taking pictures that were quite repetitive. I also found my self getting bored during this topic as I felt that once I had shown on reflection they would all be the same. If I could re-do this topic I would look for more original pictures that show reflection in a more creative way. I would also try to take a better quality of pictures as I think my pictures have been better in previous topics.

I think that the photo above is one of mybest pictures because I think it shows that things you dont neccessarily associate with reflection, however this picture clearly shows that there is a reflection taking place. I also like this picture because the reflection is not your steryotypical reflection, usually when you think reflection you would think of your own reflection in a mirror, but in this case its the light thats being reflected. I also think that the photo below is one of my best pictures. The picture shows your stereotypical mirror reflection however that fact that its out doors and in a environment yoou would usually expect it to be makes it original. I also like this picture as you can clearly see whats being reflected in the mirror without seeing th view twice. There isnt a part of the phot that shows the area thats being reflected by its self you can only see the reflected image.

I have chosen to include the picture above as it shows a natrual reflection taking place. The image of London is being reflected by the river. This picture shows that reflection can take place in natural setttings and does always need to be manipulated by man. I have chosen to include the image below as i think it is slightly simular to one of my images. This picture is not showing you the sceen and then the scene reflected, it is just showing you the reflection of the scene just like one of my pictures above. This shows that you dont always need to show what your reflecting of it to be a reflection sometimes its best to just show the reflection.

I have chosen these photos because they clearly show the element of reflection. I think that the photos that I have chose all show a range of ways that reflection can be shown. Typically when I think of reflection I think of things reflected in a mirror not the other ways that they can be shown. a reflection doesn't need to typically show a exact replica of what is being viewed behind it a can show a refraction which will leave a distorted image. I.e my first image. I think that these images can help to influence my reflection work as they have opened my eyes to new ways of shooting reflection.

In the two images above and below, reflection is show by holding at reflective surface to the camera and photographing the reflection that it creates. In the image above the photographer has photographed a relocation through a wine glass. This idea is creative as a glass is not always the expected item to use for refection. This also makes the idea of reflection more fun and original. In the image below mirror are used to show reflection. This is creative as in the image you can see the person multiple times and in each a mirror is held up. Mirrors are a easy way to show reflection.

In the image above a object has been placed on  flat surface and to show the relocation. The sunglasses are picking up a reflection that is taking place outside the view of the camera. This is an interesting way to photograph reflection as you are able to see the object from the actual reflection alone instead of along side the object. This makes you see a distorted view of the object that is being photographed.

In the image above the reflection is place directly next to the thing that is being photographed. In this image a cat is laying on reflective surface.  The photographer has then got to the level to be able to photograph both of the elements. This is effective as in this image the thing being used for the reflection is not the main focus but the actual reflection itself is whats most important.
