Congratulations again to @srahman sofian abdul rahman for winning technique challenge 3. Since Sofian chose not to host, Kathy @myhrhelper invited me to host the latest edition of Technique Challenge. After reviewing past challenges here and from other themes and competitions, I wanted to find something that has not been done much before, is fairly easy to do, involves creativity and gives the opportunity to look at and present the world a little differently. Thus I give you "Flipped Reflections".
The challenge is to shoot a reflection so that the reflection fills the frame, or at least splits the frame. Then rotate the shot so that the reflection is flipped either right side up or I suppose even sideways. In any event the reflection should be the featured image in the photo. Depending upon the clarity, color, lighting, etc., of the reflection, the image may range from appearing "almost normal" to dreamy to a water color painting. So have fun and be creative. I post below some of my photos as examples of what I'm talking about.
To post a photo on this thread:
1) Go to your page that has the photo you would like to post.
2) Find the code located toward the bottom right side of your page. The code is on the right side of the word "share". Copy that code and paste it in this thread.
TAG your photos “ technique4". All photos must be taken within the challenge dates starting Wed May 8 and ending Sat May 18 midnight. Enter as many photos as you like. Voting will last about 3 days. The winner will host a new challenge (or invite someone else to host it).
Kathy if I left anything out please jump in. Have fun everyone!
At 38.5 weeks pregnant I make no promises about doing a current one to enter in this comp! But I really liked the idea, and found this one of mine from a shoot done in 2011 for the cover of Australian Yoga Life mag:
I will try to give this a go! I love this idea! @michaelelliott I Thank you so much for teaching this one!!
You have to try this one! Even if this is a technique you have done before we can get some real creative and interesting shots. Let's see how creative you can get - I dare you! Please tag anyone you know for the challenge too.
I thought I would give this a go. The results of my first experiment are certainly not in the same league as others posted here, but I feel that it has a element of crude charm and hopefully will encourage others. The tree reflection is from my car's windscreen. The windscreen wasn't particular clean and has leaves and other debris scattered across it from the storm that just passed by. Excuses I know :)
Just a quick one from yesterday on the local pond. I think it could do with some paint filters, and I'll look into that later perhaps. I'll post up several more from the rain puddles later in the day.
@espyetta - yes reflections can be found in hard shiny surfaces and all kinds of things. Not just puddles or lakes. Look around and see what you can come up with.
Tweets ahoy!
