This shot was taken while leading a group of six and seven year old children on a spring nature walk through a wooded urban park. One child called our attention to a tiny water strider walking along the surface of the water, a lesson in water surface tension itself. I noticed the vivid reflections which appeared particularly brilliant and unusually colorful as a backdrop against the radiant verdant tones of the bright, fresh, leafy vegetation. The contour of the beech in the right foreground created a serpentine focal point. The bed of soft textured moss provided yet another of nature's nascent enhancements. The effect reminded me of an impressionist painting, an observation that shall be shared with the children as a entry point into that art form. I had set my Olympus E-510 on its "Vivid" mode which helps to account for the brilliance in those backgrond reflections.

Used the Figge Art Museum as a base for this shot. Flipped the image (more dramatic looking down than up)
and then layered in a nice sunset.
The seaport city of Nampo is one of the larger cities in North Korea. After Pyongyang though, everything seems small and quite different. Located just 50km southwest of Pyongyang, Nampo is more industrial. If Pyongyang were San Francisco, then Nampo would be Oakland, just a bit further apart.
Angkor Wat is the world's largest religious monument, built in the early 12th century during King Suryavarman II's reign.
The vast temple was built in honor of the Hindu God Vishnu.

Actually I don't like the floor in my flat so much. The fake marble pattern can look quite dirty and distracting in pictures. But in the recent Galleries 263, 260 and 254 I've noticed in some images there is a nice shine on the floor. So I have tested different lighting settings to achieve the best mirroring and gave the floor a thorough cleaning with a high-gloss floor detergent. The mirroring is still weak, therefore the shadows from my body must overlay the reflection in order not to fade the mirroring. The only way I could handle this is to face the flashes agains the walls behind me and not to light up the mirror image too much. After some tests I think this is the best I can do. The reflections add another interesting component to the images, which I really like. What do you think?
Stay safe and healthy!

REFLECTIONS
October 9, 2008
A DOCUMENTATION
The photos collected here are a small part of a larger series of “Reflection” photos I have been collecting for two years. They are close-up images of reflections found on the surface of the ponds and streams located within a short distance from my home outside of Logan, OH. The collection displayed here represent the photos taken during a two hour period on the afternoon of October 9, 2008. Viewers can refer to the time charts found along with the display to follow the sequence of the shoot.
As this project has developed I have begun grouping photos into set of three based on similarities in different formal, objective, or time based elements. The selection process has no specific rules, but is based more on personal editorial vision. The sets are the primary way in which the reflections are typically displayed.
In this specific exhibition, I have chosen to give a more general overview of the variety of images I might find during one shoot, rather than showing only selections of my personal editorial choices.
