I was watching TV and noticed the TV reflected in the window nearby. Then I thought what if I found an old reflection photo from a Walter class and put that on the tv and took a picture of the reflection. Below are 2 photos. The original from years ago, instrumental reflections, and the other is that photo reflected from the TV today. An interesting challenge. The double pane glass creates distortion and the angle compresses the reflected image.

It was tricky getting this reflection just right, selecting the correct lens to get the lighthouse to fill multiple glass panes, instead of just one, and adjusting the exposure to capture the refleciton and not the interior. Another challenge was to frame the picture so the window frame was not chopped off.

Dan started with us about a year ago and dove in deep - completing assignments in composition, lighting, and landscape photography, plus joining us on photo safaris almost every month. Watching him go from learning the fundamentals to earning his Certified Professional Photographer credential has been incredible. This is what happens when you show up, practice, and keep pushing your skills forward. Congratulations, Dan - you earned it!
