1. Master the shooting Angle

Every evening after raining, you can see a group of photography enthusiasts shooting on the floor in each big scenic spots, the reason with such exhausting shooting position, because of the reflection and shooting Angle, as long as the fixed camera Angle and surface, you can change the reflection in the appearance of the image. Shooting guard palace, for example, camera, the more close to the surface of the water, the security guard the reflections of the palace will be more complete, in simple terms, the reflection of the picture how many viewpoints that is inversely proportional to height. In addition, the amount of the reflecting surface will be affected, for example, because water covered area is limited, the need to actively looking for suitable shooting angle, the screen can render over hearts.

Reflection in landscape photography, the surface is very often used elements, after the rain water, in addition to the mentioned there are lakes, rivers, ports, and the pond... Etc., the reflection can be seen everywhere, it is no matter what kind of the surface reflection film, the camera must be close to the surface of the water? Actually otherwise, because consider the distance between the reflection and the photographer, the farther the distance, reflection and is almost the same proportion of real viewpoint height won't cause too big effect, such as shooting, culture museum, there is no need to adopt a low Angle, which can make the reflection and include her. And distance, but also relates to the choice of lens focal length.

2. The tripping system framework

Mirrors reflection material, very often USES symmetrical way, we will split screen in two, present a neat order aesthetic feeling, also to strengthen the momentum of the image. Sometimes it can jump such a framework, try to change action and reflection in the proportion of the image position, you will have unexpected harvest. As to how to allocate proportion, depending on why the emphasis, the position of the focal point, too, if you have special requirements, focusing on the reflection is also having not cannot. In addition, photos can also be turned around, reverse the actual situation is the pleasure of dealing with such subject matter. The reason to do these usually came from several considerations, for example, because of the reflecting surface material, so the reflection on the vision than real interesting. Or because we need to express an abstract conception, the nature reflection looks better than the real scene. Reflection is another possible, keep the details of the more than live, because the reflection exposure is relatively insufficient, part of the picture highlight is not blown out too easily, so would choose photos reversal, let the body more abundant details.

3. The story of the show

It can quite a lot form the reflection of the media, such as car body, window, glass curtain, me tope and ground water, smooth, and even eye pupil, as long as the order, out to find interesting reflections, even captured images of a story. Sometimes also need not and reflection in the photos of real reflection could be as a foil, to echo other topics. Lost records such as wedding photographing the bride fan can be a little attention to reflected on the window of family, bring it into the picture can send more the emotional atmosphere.

When reflection than real interesting and meaningful, it focus on capturing the reflection picture is ok. Sometimes found that the main body of seemingly insignificant, appears in the form of reflection is special eyes, may be because the body silhouette in reflection became more attractive, the outline form or because reflector to filter out the clutter background, let the viewer's visual more focus. In addition, sometimes only present a discontinuous partial reflection, such as ground water, can't see the real face of the full, it can add a lot of imagination and fun. Water is usually very good play, is easy to present a virtual world, dreamy and in different light environment can present different visual effect.
