Shadows and Reflections

This project we focused on taking photos that had reflections and shadows in them. The idea if this was to not only practice taking and developing photos but to also to work on searching for interesting photos that have different points of view by using reflections and shadows. The photo I took was that of a manakin in a mirror. I like the way the mirror reflected what wasn't facing the way I took the picture. I also liked the way the drawings of the other faces would been seen above the head of the manakin. One thing that I liked about this photo was the way the light reflected off the chin and face, it added some contrast between the shade of the face and the rest of the image. A few problems I ran into over the course of this project was I getting the images focused on the reflection and not the background that is another reason I liked this image. Another thing that I found challenging was getting the aperture setting right, it took me a few prints to get a light value that looked good and added more artist value to the image.
