Weekly Photo Challenge: Reflections

One of my favorite things to do when I shoot! My submission for this week’s WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge.

URBAN REFLECTIONS

Day 177 – Walk-about color and a little street photography

Surprisingly, I got a decent amount of photography in today. I was reasonably productive in the short amount of time I was able to shoot. Other than grabbing my camera bag when I left for work this morning, I didn’t even think about my camera until nearly 4pm.

I took a late afternoon walk around and outside our grounds.

Instead of my usual left-turn, I took a right and walked past the side of our building that faces the employee parking lot.

I headed down the walk and paused to snap this rusted rebar.

This pine cone looked lovely with the afternoon sun illuminating it.

Across the street, these meters caught my eye. Black and white seemed the right treatment for them.

On the way home I got in a little “street” photography.

More.

A third shot.

On the road home (one hand on the wheel, one hand to press the shutter).

Pulling in to the driveway I was happy to see that our yellow dahlia has started to bloom.

Day 120 – Wine glass illusions

I’d set these two wine glasses on the counter after taking them out of the dishwasher and kind of forgot about them.  I worked on printing most of the day so hadn’t given much thought to my photo of the day. I’d been snapping some photos of the kitties (more shallow depth of field stuff) and happened do walk by the two glasses on the counter. I snapped a quick photo (I love shiny glass) and then noticed something interesting. I could see the second glass through the first one.  Well, one thing led to another   . . .

There are all kinds of optical illusions happening in the various planes of glass.
