Day 20: Fun With Reflections

Self portrait in the rain Day 20 of the 30 Day Photo Challenge was an overcast and rainy day here in Southern California. I was out of ideas for what to photograph when I came across this cool mirror art installation. I decided to try out some reflection shots while the rain had stopped for a little while. The light was diffused from the clouds and the grass was wonderfully green from the rain, so it made for some good photography conditions.

Shattered in the rainI found out that rain drops make for some cool texture in photographs. And I also found out that broken and disjointed reflections make for funky photographs.

I can guarantee that I’ll be looking for more reflective surfaces to photograph in the future!
