In a reflective portrait mood...

Looking at reflections on a sheet of black glass (an old TV table) for an attempt at some still life photos, I decided to ask Rachel (my daughter if you didn't know) to lie on the floor and across the edge of the glass to see if I could get a reflection of her that works.

Here is what we ended up with, and I think it's quite a respectable take on a portrait theme.

interesting idea! I like it.

did you try one exposing for the reflection?... I'd be curious to see how it compares. I imagne it would be a bit washed-out looking, but if you have one, it'll save me setting up for this myself, heh.

I love this idea! Gotta try it someday!

I used single shots and let the cameras evaluative metering do the exposure.
