Core Reflections

Our Daily Challenge - Reflective or Reflection

 

I've wanted to do a glasses reflection for a while so when this challenge came up I new exactly what I wanted to do. But what should be reflected.... Me? The camera?........

 

But credit where credit is due. Trevor Williams had the same idea with his two photos Trust me... and buyer beware. These technically brilliant images are two of my most favorite images on flickr. I highly recommend that you check them out. They definitely helped my inspiration.

 

Strobist Info:

 

Me - Canon 580exII 1/4 power in brolly box high camera left.

Apple Core - Canon 580exII 1/8 power brolly box high camera right.

Triggered with Cactus V4

So this apple core would match I had to orientate and light it from the opposite, then flip it in photoshop. Also I waited a day to photograph the core so I would look rotten.

 

The how to's:

There are plenty of tutorials for this but I pretty much did this.

And I used the Topaz filter to get the crazy colour and detail.
