YES! I was fretting about today's photo and was getting all diva pouty about not doing much with my get-pushed challenge to create an image with "reflection" in it. So, as I went inside from my outdoor patio this afternoon, I looked up and KaPow! Look at this fella! And his reflection is on the glass. I have indeed a photo that I would like to claim as my own.
Thanks so much @mrsbaldy for the challenge and for making my first experience with get-pushed a fun one. Also, thanks to @squamloon@jyakota@taffy and others for giving me help along the way. This is truly a great place.
Oh, and I'm not kidding, I'm teaching reflective writing this week as a way to revise essays. How appropriate that reflection was my challenge?
Whoa! What a creature . . . and, what a reflection! Well done! (Now, since you've done your get-pushed, will you also figure out how I can do mine? I have to learn how to make a montage.)
@jyokota Wow, a montage? As in a collage of sorts? I didn't see your challenge on your photos (which are spectacular, by the way--I'm running out to soccer again, so I'll try to comment on them, but I LOVE THEM!). I need advice on night photography--it's an area in which I have NO skill! Shhh, don't tell anyone . :)
@darylo -- you're right! (or perhaps, I should say, your commenters are right!) I, too, saw what others said and now I agree -- that is a shadow, as opposed to a reflection. Oh, the things we learn along the way. :)
@darylo -- I need to practice night photography more, but it was my get-pushed challenge one time and I learned to LOVE it. Main lesson: don't trust your camera's automatic settings. Second lesson: Use a tripod if you can. I'd like to do more night photography practice myself. A montage -- still mulling over this challenge.
This is such a crazy creature! Love how you used it with your theme and love the connection to your essays, funny. Hope you share this shot with your students!
@jyokota It's both. I'm sticking with it. There is a reflection of my siding on the house in the most abstract sense at the very least. I even went back outside and my finger produced the same reflection (without light) as the shadow did--must be the double paning of the glass? Who knows. I'm sort of disappointed in the shot now; that's just crazy! :)
