Image Bank - Reflection

Internet Images

From the images above, we are able to see the reflection of the trees, in the windows of a building. This image looks eerie and mysterious because the trees' branches look like hands reaching out. The reflection doubles the intensity of the unsettling feeling. Also, we can just about see the reflection of the clouds in the sky, in between the tree branches. 

This photograph definitely displays reflection. This is because we can see the reflection of two people, in a wet puddle. We are able to see their reflection because the water is shiny, and therefore reflects their image. However, we are only able to see the peoples' legs and shoes as the photo cuts half their actual body off the image, but we are still able to see their full body in the reflection. 

I like the photo above a lot because of how colourful it is. In this photo we can see a fairground with lots of bright and colourful rides. We are also able to see the reflection of the fairground in the lake that it is next too, and this makes the photo even more vibrant in colour because it's like two images in one. The reflection is blurred because there is too many colours to reflect, and because the water must be distorting it. 

In this photo we are able to see the reflection of the photographer and their camera, in somebody else's eye. The reflection in this image is far more discrete than in the other photos that i have also included, and this is because the photo is in black-and-white which makes the eye darker, making it difficult to see the reflection. But also, the lens of the camera is circling where the pupil of the eye should be, and therefore blends in with the photograph, so it's less noticeable. In the other photographs the reflection is obvious and attracts all the attention, but i think this technique makes the photo much more interesting.

This image displays a more regular reflection, as it shows the reflection of lights on a wet path (assuming that the light is coming from lampposts in a street as the light source isn't shown). This photo attracts our attention because of the colours from each light, and of course from how bright they are. I chose this image because it solely focuses on reflection as there isn't anything else shown in the photo.

Lastly, I chose this image because I like how the photo is split into two different photographs, one reality and one reflection. At first we see the reality, an actual image of a girl leaning against a wall, but as the wall is shiny, we are able to see her mirrored reflection, as well as the reflection of the floor, lights and ceiling, showing two of everything.
