Title: Reality and Reflection
Post by: Slobodan Blagojevic on March 01, 2021, 11:39:49 am: "How well photography reflects reality" comes to mind, mostly due to a stream-of-consciousness associations. My mind works in mysterious ways :)

While I was shooting bridges last evening, I took these two images 2 minutes apart, with no intention to match. The realization that they do came later.

A proof that the original was not written in the sky. Probably added later.

I sympathize.

Both shots are full frame, however.

But I agree that you have to work on making a wiggly signature for the lower image.

Very cool.

Well in my case I believed that Slobodan added a touch of humor with his "reflected" signture.
I added mine with the comment about the ripples. The reflection itself doesn't match either :-)

It was well meant. Sorry :-[
