Week Seven - Reflections

Once you know what this picture is of, it's completely unremarkable. However, I found it pretty cool. This is a picture of my florescent kitchen light reflecting off of my counter top. Because the counter top is out of focus, the outline of the light cuts through and makes it kind of look like two floating squares. This picture made me think of gobos and shutter cuts how we use them in theatre. It also made me think of how important angles are in lighting. It's interesting to think of a reflection as a main light source. Also, I think this picture shows the different things you can do with focus, texture, and frost.
