swing around reflection Photo

Photographer’s Note

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Reflection is the abrupt change in direction of a wave front at an interface between two dissimilar media so that the wave front returns into the medium from which it originated. Common examples include the reflection of light, sound and water waves.
Reflection of light may be specular (that is, mirror-like) or diffuse (that is, not retaining the image, only the energy) depending on the nature of the interface. Whether the interfaces consists of dielectric-conductor or dielectric-dielectric, the phase of the reflected wave may or may not be inverted.

This was a little joke, but to be honest to you all, I like the joke very much. This is a photo turning on his head. I hope you like it to.

Mooi plaatje Jaap, grappig die omkering.
Je weet de plekjes wel te vinden. Mooie kleuren, vooral in het water.

Groeten Gerrit

Beautiful. This is really well done!!!

Given the subject, though, you might consider matching the top and bottom of the frame exactly. (Preferably, just to the top of the trees both in the original and in the reflection. If there's not enough space, then you could crop the top of the trees off the one side).

MarekP (4744) 2006-01-19 13:24

Hello Jaap,
When I first saw this photo, I've said to myself: "Wow, the reflection is so sharp, that I cant recognize, what is the top and what's the bottom"... And then I've read your note :-) A good joke and a good picture!

Thanks,
Marek

jafadabret (39731) 2006-01-19 13:25

Jaap, c'est vrai qu'à première vue on ne sait pas où est la réalité et où se trouve l'image. De toute façon c'est une photo qui a beaucoup de qualités et surtout une grande beauté. Du très bon travail !

Dag Jaap,

vooraleer ik je note gelezen had, wou ik al twee dingen opmerken : dat het bovenste deel niet horizontaal was en dat het een perfecte weerspiegeling is... De eerste opmerking valt dus weg, en de tweede blijft eigenlijk... Je had mij bijna in het "ootje".

groeten,

Luc.

besnard (30732) 2006-01-19 13:47

Bonsoir Jaap
Superbe composition avec de magnifiques reflets.
Merci pour le partage.

weswang (18223) 2006-01-19 13:51

Hi Jaap, I guess we live in a reflection world. I enjoy the fun you have to turn the picture upside down. An almost perfect mirror image. I like the deep blue sky better, if I have to choose between these two sides. A very well taken fun image. Well done.
I have put this photo into the them “inverted reflections”.

danyy (68887) 2006-01-19 14:11

Bonjour Jaap,
j'avais moi aussi au tout début de ma présence sur TE, placé une photo à l'envers, avec les reflets sur le dessus.
Mais elle n'était pas évidemment aussi belle que celle-ci.
L'eau est ici si calme qu'il est vraiment difficile de faire la distinction.
En ne regardant pas le bas, on a l'impression d'une photo prise en soirée.
Superbe.
Daniel.

peck (2779) 2006-01-19 14:15

Hallo Jaap,
Very amazing photo! perfect reflection and form of image :))) Well done!!

best regards
Gregory

Juice06870 (185) 2006-01-19 14:28

wow, very sharp photo with lots of detail. the reflection is perfect. there is a ghostly looking building on the left under the evergreen tree, but not in the reflection. I like how the sky is a dark blue but it's reflection is a lighter shade.

nwoehnl (120) 2006-01-19 14:56

Good idea with the 180° rotation, Jaap - it amplifies the reflective effect even more than if you had shown it without this step, I think. The frame is a well-chosen one with the rural building surrounded by the trees, and the whole scene dipped into a fine, even warming, December light.

chinchini (27627) 2006-01-19 14:59

Bonsoir Jaap,
Que c'est réussi, que c'est beau. La réflexion est parfaite sur cette surface sans rides.
Bien sûr que j'aime cette photo. Mes félicitations !
Pierre

isabela_sor (42175) 2006-01-19 15:57

Stunning picture! Simple composition,the colors are great, the reflections on the water well captured, so perfect!
Thank you
Regards, Isabela

Xalkida (11740) 2006-01-19 15:59

Wow Jaap! That's the absolute reflections! Great framing. I like how you include the reflections in your composition. Excellent work my friend.

Rossignol (2289) 2006-01-19 16:34

Hi Jaap
Brilliant shot. I was looking at it and thinking something looks a bit surreal, but can't put my finger on what. Then I read your note and understood that it's upside down. Excellent composition.
Well done
Peter

Beautiful composition. Perfect reflection, colors and light. Thanks for sharing,

Dag Jaap,
Dat is dann ook iets geheel anders!
Prachtig en creativ werk met een uitstekende reflectie,-een echte favoriet.

Hi Jaap.
Amazing composition. It's hard to tell which way is up- thank goodness for your note! Great reflection. Nice detail and vivid colors.

singuanti (15240) 2006-01-19 22:36

Hi Jaap. You know I was looking at this wondering if this was upside down. Follow TE user PJE does this once in a while too. I might have tried to get the trees in their entirety for pure symmetry. Excellent shot Jaap.

Graal (58065) 2006-01-20 2:46

Hi Jaap,
excellent view with the reflections. Good composition and colours. Interesting the old building. Good capture and job.
Rgs, Aleksander

tjanze (5674) 2006-01-20 2:56

Hi Jaap!
Beautiful reflection.Hmm interesting...Clouds in water is brighter than on sky and details on roof is more visible in water.Mysteryous light efect.Bravo!

bertolucci (11976) 2006-01-20 3:42

Goedemorgen Jaap, dit is een mooi spel van een beeld en woorden. De kleuren zijn prachtig en het massieve volume van de boerderij zeer goed gebruikt. Als je hem onder had gecropt was de symmetrie helemaal perfect geweest maar dat was wellicht te. Heel goed werk Jaap!
Goed weekend,
Bert

Albrecht (11098) 2006-01-20 3:51

Hoi Jaap
Prima compositie en mooi symmetrisch.
Goed van kleur. Hele leuke truck die werkt.
Groetjes Albrecht

Great work
cheers
greg

markstaples (15670) 2006-01-20 6:11

Hi Jaap
Wow! What can I say? Are you sure that you didn't plant a giant mirror in front of this cottage?? The reflections are just perfect! How did you achieve this? What a great composition ... a beauty!! -- LOL You had me fooled!
Best wishes
Mark

jhm (82629) 2006-01-20 6:14

Goedenavond Jaap,
Ik waakte u reeds deze avond al en tijdje, ik had een voorgevoel, maar ik heb mijn punten reeds op gesoepeerd, maar morgen kom ik terug.
Dit is een beeld waar technisch gezien voormij een grote waarde aan verbonden is, van een spiegelbeeld gesproken, ik heb deze foto eens omgedraaid in een WS Jaap, het enige verschil is het hemel kleur, de kenners moeten hier komen kijken en absoluut warderen.
Geen tweede Kerstmis beeld omdat het geen winter is, maar voormij een 10 Jaap!
Groeten uit Vlaanderen.
John.

hdl (6735) 2006-01-20 7:34

Ha Jaap, je had me bijna liggen. Een uitzonderlijke reflectie; heel goed gedaan.

ChrisJ (70293) 2006-01-20 7:50

Hello jaap

Stunning reflections, & a good decision to invert the image. Wonderful color & sharpness. Tfs!

feather (49862) 2006-01-20 8:12

Excellent! Well your joke nearly fooled me. I was wondering why the sky was paler in the reflection and the house apparently slightly out of focus. Now I know. Brilliant!
Kath

Cricri (43132) 2006-01-20 10:21

Bonjour Jaap,
Voilà une idée original, qui fait tout son effet,
superbe couleurs et beau travail, Félicitations
Amitiés
cricri

john_c (24635) 2006-01-20 10:59

Hi Jaap,
A superb image and very successful prank! Like Wes, I prefer the deeper blue sky. The rich hues and tones are amazing in the reflected area. Your tight cropping and framing enhances and ensures high impact. Well conceived and executed, Jaap.
John

jrj (34779) 2006-01-20 11:12

Again the good eye and the steady hand behind the presentation of this building. Good work, excellent result. Very carper...

Didi (36172) 2006-01-20 14:19

Waw Jaap !
On dirait un grand miroir qui a été déposé sur le sol.
L'effet est saisissant.
De plus j'apprécie la couleur du ciel.

capthaddock (28640) 2006-01-21 11:13

Great idea Jaap - the reflection is just as clear and detailed as the real thing, it is even more defined.

rosaline (0) 2006-01-21 15:23

Jaap
Nice composition and the reflection works well. I'm intrigued as to why the reflected sky is so white, but it works all the same. The effect of the line of trees is impressive to. Good work. And thanks for 100.
Aubrey

Tue (25608) 2006-01-21 19:05

Hej Jaap,
Weerspiegelingen die zo helder zijn dat je ze moeiteloos op hun kop kan zien, vind ik altijd erg leuk. Deze foto is ook erg goed met -vooral in het weerspiegelde deel- mooie, diepe kleuren. Goed werk!
Groeten,
Lars

Philippe (11775) 2006-01-23 16:26

Dag, Jaap. Het is echt moeilijk uit te maken waar de weerspiegeling zit. Ik denk dat het te maken heeft met de kwaliteit van de foto en het feit dat u uw beeld zeer scherp hebt geknipt. Zeer goed werk.

jmdaoudal (82) 2006-01-25 3:33

I was firstly annoyed by the position of the Horizon, underneath the water :-)), so I had to put the glasses on and read the note.; This is a very amazing one, and looking at without thinking of the technique and the nice joke is a good moment.. Quality, colors all is good.and a great place
I like it
Jean Michel

starbug (6924) 2006-02-09 5:23

hi Jaap, you have a wonderful collection of "reflection" photos, this is just as good as any other in your gallery but i suppose i'm going for this old hut here- it's fantastic. the reflection is unbelievably clear, and the tight cropping somehow fits here perfectly.
best regards
A.

Good evening Jaap,
I like the reflexions and this is superb.It's a perfect reflexion.I can turn over this image without problem!Very good colors and light also.
Excellent shot,all my congratulations!
Regards
Christian

jdwyer264 (1082) 2006-11-21 17:27

Great shot Jaap.
I like the way the branches appear to be the roots of the tree. A beautifully captured shot, so still. The image could be sharper, but as it stands is very nice.
See what you think of my recent reflection post, also my photos from Holland.
Have a nice day.

Budapestman (42056) 2007-02-08 8:31

Hi Jaap,
This is a stunning and fascinating impression. I like the beautiful reflection. Impressive POV and very nice composition. Details are picturesque and rich. Very good sgot!
Thank you, nice days
George

riclopes (33005) 2007-06-22 1:17

He,he,he, this is a funny one, Jaap. And I think it worked, since the reflection is so perfect. Spectacular mirror effect and well composed tight composition. Diferent and beautiful.
Groet,
ricardo
