Using Reflections
Photo: lukes.photos
Puddles, shop windows, car bonnets, mirrored buildings, sunglasses. Reflections give you two scenes in one frame - the real and the reversed.
The technique is in balancing exposure between the reflection and the subject. Expose for one and the other goes dark. Sometimes that's the picture.
Watch for: your own reflection. Unavoidable sometimes, occasionally brilliant, usually a problem. Position yourself at an angle.

Expose for the reflection or the subject — commit to one. Spot meter helps.
