Reflective - Thematic Photography

We have had some domestic problems this week with cars and bathroom electrical cord-pull switches, but at least I can reflect on some good fortune in winning our kitty on the lottery jackpot ball.

For a reflective photographic theme I have had to chose some shots from within our home.

Mirror, mirror on the wall

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks

Multiple kitchen reflections, inside and out

I'm not sure that Joshua Reynolds would have said to find a window 'in' his painting - 

Even if it is a copy

Van Gogh on the other hand would just have said of his sunflowers - 

'What's this ere?

I leave you to think of the reflective gentlemen depicted in a drawing of an industrial scene which hangs on my office wall.

Perhaps, 'It will never work!'

Reflective - Thematic Photography

Glass, metal and water give unexpected opportunities for 'reflective' shots.

I had to crop out the vehicle's number plate in the first shot at the driver's request. He thought it rather strange that all I was interested in was the reflection in his windscreen - he thought I was an undercover cop!

Reflective glass

The Mini in my next shot has featured in the earlier 'logo' theme.

Metallic trees

Before anyone comments, my next shot is not upside down.

Water soaking up the trees

The ground was too soft on the other side of the puddle for me to stand there.

Today I'm trying to catch some reflections in the rainwater streaming down the outside of my office window - I wonder whether a video will work.

Feeling Reflective - Thematic Photography

I have tried several things this week without success, even experimenting with a reflective shower.

Shower cubicle

On second thoughts that has shown quite enough. 

Whereas on our recent visit to Detroit Zoo a lion was well worth a second look.

The glass enclosure produced a whiskery effect. It was difficult to get a clear shot that was not reflective in one way or another.

Pensive (reflective) lion

If you remember our recent 'Treaured' theme, perhaps he is pondering why the lioness had the best seat in the house.

On reflection perhaps reflective may take on a different approach. How does losing on a slot machine make you look?
