I’m exploring ways to turn simple forest reflections into fine art photographs. The photographic process is really quite simple; start with an interesting reflection and turn the image upside down. That simple step yields some very interesting results that can leave you scratching your head trying to figure out the image.
In this image the sun is coming from the right side where trees are casting shadows across the surface of the swamp. The result is streaks of light and color. Add in some floating leaves and the illusion is quite extraordinary. It looks like a Photoshop trick or a double exposure, but it’s really just a simple image.
