Reflections of Lake Oswego
Photographing Reflections: More Than Meets the Eye
To answer that question, we’ll dive quickly into what a reflection is… or rather, what it is not. Contrary to popular knowledge, a reflection is NOT a mirror image of whatever it’s reflecting. It may show the same subject, but the truth is it’s showing that subject from a completely different angle. Most of the time we are oblivious to this difference because it’s small. If you stand close enough to any reflective object (like a lake) your perspective is typically such that the light from the object you’re looking at, as well as the light from its reflection, hit your eye at roughly the same angles. So the things look the same
