Reflections
Reflections can be seen in the water, of course. But, there are other ways to get reflections. Here are a few ideas to get you started 1. A large black shiny tile 2. A mirror 3. Windows, especially at night 4. Glass surfaces 5. Sunglasses 6. Puddles 7. Ice 8. Crystal Ball 9. Software As you can see there are lots of choices other than a huge still body of water. This is excellent for you if you live far from the water. Black Tile/Granite I went to a flooring showroom and bought one big 2’ X 2’ black tile for $12.00. There is enough room to do some really cool reflection photos on small objects. Maybe you have a black granite counter or tile floors that reflect well. My favorite subject to shoot on tiles are flowers. White works great because the contrast is excellent. You can use any kind of lighting you have for these photos. Personally, I use the utility clip lamps with the LED light bulbs, because they don’t get hot. Point the light right on the subject
