research for HIGHLY REFLECTIVE SUBJECTS

use macro for reflective. also anything else that has the same effect as reflective material such as metals( buildings ) glass water (still water puddles bubbles) mirrors so on. be on the look out!
a few ideas an inspiration.

ABOVE  idea ; go to manchester mini waterfall. near Selfriges. and Urbis

ABOVE again you see more coaches in manchester (nearest city) need a nice sunny day prefrably.

ABOVE again a nice sunny day so to test both this and previous on the same day. pair of sun glasses in the beer garden on wood table.

ABOVE  i could easily reacreate this image if it was a sunny day. this looks like my back garden. I also get amazing views of the clouds from my back garden.

maybe i couldnt pour oil into a river but could try the effect in a deep puddle? instead of using matt objects like the one above to bend the reflection in different dirrections i could use something reflective and see what effects i come out with.

ABOVE if i was going to recreate this photograph i would like to bring some more colour in the reflection of the bubble. using photoshop or lightroom. making it the main focal point

ABOVE this photograph has made me think about turning the camera angle when photographing my reflective subject. reflection can be a trickery and deciveing even when you look at it from normal eye angle. it would be interesting to turn the angle to make it even more confusing.

ABOVE AND BELOW again the city is full of tall reflective buildings such as these. i will have to go to manchester look around and see what i can find.

ABOVE to reinvent a photograph like this i am going to have to experiment with the colour of eyes that i choose. I think a dark brown would be more reflective, the darker the better. i would also like to choose a grand location such as this one that has been reflected in the eye. a location like this would be more effective due to the mass being reflected into such a small reflecive area.

an opertunity to take a photograph like this wouldnt be hard. as a day hardly ever goes by without raining. the bus stop i wait at in the mourning is glass so i will try to recreate it there. i will also try it in black and white, dulling the background would help the eye focus more on the actual reflection.
