Today was too wet and windy to be out and about with my camera, so I had to resort to a rose rescued from the wind, a spay bottle, a mirror and a black background. I usually use black perspex for my reflection shots and I think that it gives a sharper reflection. All of my mirror shots seem to have a hint of a second reflection around the edges of the petals, something I don't get with the perspex.
Oh, this is really lovely -- the execution so well done. I don't know what a perspex is but you've made me curious so I'll look it up. Is it different from an ordinary black acrylic sheet?
@merrelyn -- thanks! I did look them up and had initially put it in my shopping basket, but it seemed to be a brand of acrylic, which I already have. I really need to practice using mine, as I have had it only a short time.
@jyokota I put mine in front of a black blind which stops unwanted reflections from the wall and ceiling. The perspex seems to give sharper reflections than a mirror, but it scratches very easily.
