    Light in the sky
    I shot this on a 14mm focal plane from a distance of 9"
    Note that this pane of glass was rather dusty, the reflection is somewhat muted.
    I liked this for the unusual see through effect while still maintaining the reflections. You can even see the ceiling fire sprinkler next to the "Light in the sky" Interesting enough?

    1250 x 840 size in my gallery.

    Thanks

    14mm: Unedited. 1/125 @ F/6.3 ISO400

    Rick,

    This is a very cool shot and I'd like to know more about how you did it. Is this inside a building looking out and the light is reflected? Nicely done.

    Thanks,

    Thank you!,
    This is outside of a building looking in...The building you see(in the reflection) is 90 degrees to the glass, behind me-> to my left.(does that make any sense? It was unusual lightplay to say the least. :thumbsup:
    Thanks again,
    Rick

    Thanks for the explanation and yes, it does make sense. Although this could be done with PS, I think it's better when you can catch it "live".

    Isn't this in Mountain View/Palo Alto?

    Hi Rick,
    I like your exploring approach; it is inspiring. By the way, is it a flying blanket with modern LED gadgets? ;)

    I agree I was waiting for the aliens to come out of the shot. Good capture.
