Photographer’s Note

This is a picture of Makhtesh Ramon again (see my former note) this time I took the picture through my vhicle side mirror, after finishing a very difficult climbing.
The picture was taken on the north side of the Makhtesh and you can see the south side on the mirror, now you can see the wall of the makhtesh, the soft light is as usually the afternoon warm sun.
I used my Fuji s602z in this picture, hope you will like it.

Delightful capture Elroyie and very distinctive. I like your use of the mirror and the image you capture is finely detailed. The juxtaposition of the crisp image against the metal of the mirror's frame and the out of focus background is a pleasure to my eye. Well seen and captured.

Very nice effect, Elroyie - the landscape reflected off the rear view mirror is crisply clear and actually this view has an amazing depth to it. Interesting to compare this with the closer-up view of the rugged desert details outside the frame provided by the mirror. Very pleasing result also in terms of light and colors, thanks for sharing.

Very nice capture, Elroyie. The landscape displayed in the carmirror is indeed super clear. The contrast in colours and sharpness between this nicely framed mirrored image and the rest of the pic makes the shot. Fine job.

Nice shot to be compared with the one of Jack Reflection of a road worker. But your show a landscape completly different.
Well done David.

Another original sight of Israel's landscapes, Elroyie! colors and sharpness are very crisp through this outside mirror. Very aesthetic shot.

Well composed, Elroyie. I love the colors of the Makhtesh. There is a strong feeling of freedom in this place, and you well delivered this feeling here. Good shot.

Very nice idea to take the picture of your rear mirror and show us the reflection of a nice landscape. The Dof is also pretty good. Well done!

I have tried taking pictures in the rear view mirror before and always suffered clarity. Yours is extremely sharp and the composure is good as well - Good Shot
