When photos are shot beside, or on water, reflections will soon be noticed, which present an opportunity to produce images with an enhanced composition and content. Reflections can be observed on rivers, lakes and the sea. They are also to be seen in puddles or even on wet pavements. Another form of reflection may be shown in the external glass of a building or a shop window.
In an extreme case, a tower block clad in mirror-like glass can result in a huge reflection. All of these are examples where the reflection can be horizontal or vertical, leading to variety that presents the ability to exploit the phenomenon in many diverse ways. The result will always challenge understanding and interpretation.
Normally reflection is considered as casting back of light or heat but could also be present when a wind is reflected by an obstacle such as a building, or large vehicle. In these examples the reflection of light is easy to see, the reflection of heat is more difficult and the reflection of wind can only be seen by the after effects, such as the erratic directions of the ongoing air movement. For this blog I am using reflections in water as the subject.
