The december challenge is a bit easier, coming up to christmas where everyone is so busy.
But on reflection (ha ha) this challenge might be easy to take an image, but it does require some thought and some planning.
So first the challenge:
To take an image of yourself in a reflective surface
The reflective surface can be a bathroom mirror (the most obvious), but try different things like a window, shiny car bonnet, still pond, or be adventurous with your mirror images - use a handmirror in different locations, take advantage of public mirrors. The other thing to do is to use the mirror to reflect not just your face but memorablilia that might add to the story.
Take a look at these websites for inspiration:
the mirror project
flickr mirror project
mirror mirror - heather champ
Technical info:
online photographic magazine has some tips for self portraits
for a good shot in a mirror - don’t use the flash, you can have the camera in view or not, you can be the main subject or the background, you can use a tripod or handhold the camera.
Some examples:
I like this image at the mirror project taken in a aeroplane toilet cubicle
This image is a reflection in a dolls eye
I like this one - blue bathroom mirror
using mirror in a shop
reflection in a window of a wig shop is inventive
I love these older pics at port2port bedroom mirror I love how there are books and memorabilia that add to the story and public bathroom mirror use of different places and spaces.
I hope you all like this months challenge and can find some time in the busy lead up to christmas to continue to participate.
