Week 5: 

This week, I took more photos with reflection. I tried taking pictures that I felt were harder for me to capture with good quality. Taking pictures at night and indoors. Below are the pictures that I took  
 




I also did a little bit of editing in photoshop to make my pictures look more brighter and happy. Below are the two pictures that I edited in photoshop.







I plan on taking reflection pictures outside during the day with bright light. I want to practice taking more pictures indoors and at night. I find them more challenging but I plan on practicing in those environments.

Week 4: 
This week I took pictures of reflection with my cat. I took a mirror outside and had help trying to keep my cat to stay still on the mirror. I also took pictures of him waiting to go outside and put a mirror by his feet to create a reflection of him.










I also tried some things in Photoshop this week. At first I took a picture of my cat that was on the wrong white balance setting and the picture came out too blue. I took that picture and tried to make the lighting look as natural as possible. I also tried to merge two images of my cat that contained reflection.

Merged Image



I want to try taking pictures of the sunset and sunrise and merge them, or the moon and sun. I also want to take a picture of a river or stream and merge it with a picture of the sun or moon and see how that turns out.

Week 3:
The images below are my best 10 images from the past three weeks.

This picture was taken on the side of the fish tank
reflecting the fishes on the glass on the other side. 




In this picture, there are a whole bunch of cups plants.
I took a mirror and made a reflection of it and I really
liked the way the plant in the back looked brighter
than the rest with the sun shining behind it. 


This is one of my pictures from week 2.

This is also a picture from week 2.

This is a picture of a dinosaur reflecting off of a
car window. There was a flag inside the car that
was a distracting object in my picture so I used
Adobe Photoshop to edit that out. 


This is one of my pictures from week 2.

This is another one of my pictures from week 2
although; I changed it in Photoshop making the
mood of it darker and gloomier. I thought it
looked better like that because it looks like this
picture was taken in an alley or somewhere dark and scary. 


I took this picture using the stream on Indian Creek.
I held the branch up near the water and created a
reflection of it in the water. 


In this picture, I took a mirror and held it up to a rug
to make it look like the rug is the same on both sides,
and since the circles carry on to the edge of the page,
it gives it a look as if the rug goes on off the picture.

I took a phone that created reflection on its screen. I set it
up in such a way where you can see behind the camera and
what is being captured in the front view of the camera.
