Hexaglow
Another spoke reflector, shiny and new (yes, I bought it for the theme). The honey jar lid (I don't know how it is in your countries, but in Germany, we often have specific honey jars with lids that are either printed with a bee picture or have a nice 3D hexagonal honeycomb pattern) was easier to photograph but I somehow was set on the reflector.
As you know, the typical cat's eye-style bicycle reflector also has a honeycomb-like structure that is best seen when photographed straight from the front. When you slightly turn the reflector to the side, however, these hexagons turn into cascade-like cubes which is almost like an optical illusion. And this is what I aimed for. I wanted to show this peculiar optical illusion, and include the cube shapes.
I tried to "place" the transition from hexagon to cube in the center diagonal line (bottom left corner to upper right corner), and I think it (kind of) worked, but I have looked at this image a tad too often today to see the forest for the trees. So I hope I don't give you a headache with this image ;)
HMM, Everyone, and have a great week ahead!
