Digital Mirrography. [Project 365 - 2015. 21/365]

I was playing with mirror reflection shots of different objects around the room this evening when I decided to take a photograph looking directly at the mirror. After placing the mirror on a few different surfaces, I came to the conclusion that I wanted the photograph to be in black and white. To obtain a good contrast between the mirror shot and the surface, I knew the surface had to be white. I opened Notepad on the laptop, maximized the window, and placed the mirror on the laptop screen. I proceeded to take the photograph, ensuring that I was shooting directly over the mirror, but also framed the reflection into the centre of the photograph. The white "blank" space is the laptop screen, and I have not cropped this photograph to make the mirror centralised. For added artistic effect, I applied vertical grain to make the photo look like it was from an old film movie.
