The I Have To Shoot WHAT?! Challenge for Week 22: Starts with the letter "P"
I've been trying for a few years to find a decent reflection within a puddle and finally found one!
That is the reflection of the sky in my mobile. (not a collage) I feel lucky to have captured this moment...
Taken out in Co.Clare late last evening :) The reflection is not created by water!! :) but off the roof of the car!!
Experimenting with Lee Friedlander's techniques, from a suggestion of Paul Ewing's.
Paul had suggested I look into Friedlander's work, especially one of his reflection self-portraits, Wilmington, Delaware 1965, and try to figure out the technique.
Here are a few notes I made while studying this piece:
Friedlander is standing on a concrete sidewalk (squares) facing a furniture shop window.
Sunlight behind him reflects the furniture into the camera and the sidewalk.
The bright mirror-like seat-back is tilted somewhat upward, brightly reflecting the light (overexposed) but also seeming to separate his head from his body, leaving mostly legs below. He may have been holding the camera mid-torso so its reflection would be obscured between the seat and the back.
Note the lines of the concrete squares. They show through the furniture, but not through his reflection.
The brick pattern may be the interior floor as the furniture shadows are cast over it. It seems the floor is brick.
The bottom extension of his legs is actually his shadow, cast by the light reflected back from the window. From his shoes up is his shadow cast by the sun directly into the window.
