One Lamp, Two Mirrors

I love reflections. Reflections from wall mirrors, car side view mirrors, mirrored sunglasses, still water, windows, etc all can become miniature frames within your photo. A frame within a frame, I like to say. Reflections can give you many effects, like multiplication, division, insights, different viewpoints, reversals, and distortion. For example, in this photo there is only 1 lamp. There are two mirrors on the wall joined at the corner. With the mirrors, it gave me 3 lamps total and a line leading up to the ceiling to 4 lights. The 4th light is actually a new reflection from the light shining off the ceiling. Add to that the molding that joined at the corner mirrored and reversed in different directions to itself, but at the same time looking like it was a continuation of its partner, and you get a strange X pattern. All this from 2 mirrors.

When photographing reflections, it is important to move around a lot. Change your angle of view (horizontally, vertically, and diagonally). Change your focal length and either widen or narrow your framing. Don't try to include as many objects as you can in the reflection. Pick something you want reflected and get only that in the picture. The mind's eye will draw the rest of it out.
