Drapery folds and Distorted Reflections Through Old Glass
Mar 20, 2015 08:34:59 #
It would almost appear as if the white lines were designed to look that way ....... but it's a single white edge on the building across from the window. Old glass making techniques resulted in glass that is wavy compared to windows today, and it creates some wonderful reflections.
This also represents a cross-over moment. After years shooting exclusively with Canons I broke down and bought a Nikon p&S (P600) which beat the socks off my Canon SX60 in an online review. I had to see for myself. I was favorably impressed and in my estimation, it takes better photos.
I haven't change out my DSLRs however.

This is a very enjoyable photo. The colors are soft, the effect of the glass is really cool and it is a great composition. Yummy.

Thanks Cwilson. That blue/green color in the drapes is what first caught my eye, but when I drew closer, the reflections of the white line only added to my delight at having found a subject worthy of capturing with my newest camera.This is a very enjoyable photo.

The right window is really interesting too. Are those curves also from across the street?

Aha, the double entry monster got you too jarwalker - it happens to me quite frequenty. As far as I know, the roofline was straight, so it must have been the angle to the glass that caused the reflection to bend down so in the right window pane. I've wondered about that too.The right window is really interesting too. Are those curves also from across the street? Sorry, I did not see I had already responded once!

Thanks Randy. The view was a holdover from some TV show I had been watching, and someone said "You have to look up." This is a window I have passed many times, but it's at top story level and I never really paid it much attention before (until I looked "up" ). Interestingly, I tried several different perspectives, trying to get rid of the "slant" - but couldn't see the reflections at that angle.How on earth did you ever spot that?!

You were so lucky to catch this shot. I looks like photoshop work. I saw a seminar on how to choose a DSLR camera and your Nikon p&s was discussed. I think that for what its worth, my opinion is it will take a better shot of only some subjects. The kind of Macro or closeup photography may not impress you as much.

Thanks Corolyn. Like any camera the P600 has its limitations ...... but it records beautiful colors and the focus is spot on. For that alone I'm delighted. You were so lucky to catch this shot.

Supposedly it has a superzoom capability but one would have to have it mounted on a tripod with a remote cable release before even thinking of trying it for a valid capture.
