heres another reflection photo fromthis past weekend. lisa and i were hangin ornaments when i got the idea that became this photo...

i thought it was cool.

the_marq · 11-29-2004, 10:23 AM

Very Escher.

I like it. Gonna do the same thing when we decorate our tree later this week.

abel · 11-29-2004, 10:24 AM

ESCHER <-- exactly my inspiration!

i may try a few more but be more focused on me rather than the entire room

That was a really cool effect! It's interesting because everything has a golden glow

I love the fact that the photo is very monochromatic in colorscheme with the exception of parts of the background.

Very lovely ...cool perspective as well

you've got <i>your world</i> in your hand!

that'd make a hot christmas card.

apeman · 11-29-2004, 11:52 AM

nice ... and reminds me of the classic ray-traced scene with a sphere that reflects the whole world.

abel · 12-01-2004, 04:54 AM

thanks guys....

may have to retry that one in order to make a christmas card... hmmm. i think that would be very cool...

joeb1 · 12-01-2004, 05:15 AM

I really like it.. Great idea!

Love the colors and the angles.

*sets beer down..........stands...........applauds loudly*

man is that a cool shot........

powerclown · 12-02-2004, 08:53 PM

whoa! large golden orb alert...

cool shot.

abel · 12-03-2004, 04:58 AM

thanks again...

now that u mention the gold orb... it kinda reminds me of the movie The Sphere

they had a huge golden orb in that movie...

rahillard · 12-03-2004, 06:18 AM

You should hang the ornament where you were holding it, sit down with your girlfriend and have someone else take another pic from behind the tree where they wouldn't be seen.

Just a thought.

uncle_el · 12-06-2004, 02:54 PM

very cool photo indeed.
simple concept = great photo!

I actually like the fact that a hand is seen holding the ornament with the reflection of surroundings. It\'s like someone said before, your world in your hand.

Very cool picture.

thanks for the compliments...

Quote to put in said card:

"Merry Christmas, from our world to yours!"

saltfish · 12-09-2004, 05:00 PM

Stunning...

Amazing....

Worthy of a 21" print!

Worthy of publishing!

Exceptional work!

You're right. It is cool.

You know what you could do? Try to balance it on top of a small cylinder; a pencil or something maybe?

then you could take the picture so only the orb is showing.

I like it. I like it a lot.

sapphire · 12-09-2004, 05:54 PM

I think its a very cool idea...good job!

Shpoop · 12-09-2004, 07:18 PM

very awesome photo. if somehow you could get it to look almost exactly the same as it does now but without your camera, so its just a fisheye reflection of you, that would be stunning. stunning as in i would pay to have it on my wall (well, if it was me at least)

dont know how youll do that tho

abel · 12-13-2004, 12:47 PM

we're gonna try to do a few versions of it tonight for Christmas cards...

ill post the final version here... im gonna try to get it without the camera in the frame... gonna be fun!

abel · 12-14-2004, 06:06 AM

heres what im looking at now...

what do u guys think... the other method was so much harder to get...

inharmony · 12-14-2004, 06:09 AM

I love it! So original, very cool!!
