I like the following better because the reflection is easier to "read".

Nice picture, Martin. What is the Eye reflected in?


I use fotopic too and the code to embed in this forum is
"http://images.fotopic.net/?id=xxxxxx"

Type everything between the quote marks (but not the quote marks themselves) with no spaces. Replace xxxxxx with the fotopic id number for your picture.

Hope that works for you.

Sorry for the scrambled reference. The code is
http://images.fotopic.net/?id=xxxxx
Put at start and at the end.

[acurtis]

I give up. Every time I try to send the before and after code it thinks I'm trying to put a picture in.
Before the http thingy put img in square brackets and after put /img in square brackets. Leave no spaces.
Anyone else can explain this easier?

It's reflected in the top of one of those stands they use to section of areas to control (or lengthen) the huge queues you have to negotiate to get up there!

And, thanks

Thanks Howie,

It's a tricky one. Getting that much reflection was hard. It was handheld with not much time and moving around whilst getting plenty in shot was tough. It was one of those kind of rubbing your tummy and patting your head moments. Getting the best angle on the post moved the reflection out of the way. Then, the reflection itself is upside down so, it kind of looks wierd and as you say, is difficult to "read." Still, after being there and seeing it, your edit kind of takes away some of the integrity of the shot for me.

I wish I could have got something else in the shot to add further reference but then, the reflection got tiny and besides, there wasn't much else. Now though, I think a hand on the rail might have made it! As it is, it's not obvious what the shot is of which is a bit of a loss...

Thanks for your interest...

Oh, and I think I get the "code" right in the post to embed a fotopic image... Howie, how did you manage?

Thumbs Up To
*Reflections are great, I was thinking of shooting hundreds of photos of reflections.
*I know it is such a pain to try to get the angle you want in a reflection without trying to get yourself in there.
*Exposure inside the reflection is PERFECET!

Thumbs Down To
(Not to much bad)
*I would of liked to of seen more of what is causing the reflection, maybe 1" more on each side is all it would need, at least to complete the round part on the bottom.
*And a little nit-picking, you may want to adjust the levels in photoshop to fix the colors, it just BARELY needs it, but the colors are just a little flat, it needs a little boost.

Overall, great!

Hey I like this! :)

I never take this kind of shot my self because I am too left brained in my thinking. Its very cool.

The upright stand thingy is by the way called a "Stanchion"

... this one looks to be part of a railing? which is not the norm.

acurtis, :)

I had the smae trouble! How to explain the "embedding" trick.

Someone here illustrated it quite well like so;

Type the following

[ img ] http://images.fotopic.net/?id=1735851&outx=600&oq=0 [ /img ]

BUT DON"T LEAVE ANY SPACES!!!!

and you get this;

Your code worked fine the 1st time for me -- don't ask me why!

And I agree that my rendition may not be authentic! In fact I forgot that the reflection would be upside down!

I have heard a lot about this wheel. Well done.

[martcol]

Thanks for all your comments! (CDS you are a cyber-god!) I love this forum and seeing my image in it (especially as I think it's my best ever) is soooo cool. Now all I have to do is get the hang of it myself.

I wish I'd learned computers at skool.

Anyway, back to the image - I agree with all those comments.
