Summary
| Description |
I've noticed that the reflection of the sun is seen at the reflection of the street light while the sun itself is much higher than the street light is. I've asked Andy Young to explain my image. Here's what he says: "the answer is Parallax . The reflection in the water shows the view as seen from a point that is the camera's reflection in the water -- i.e., as far below the surface as the camera is above it. The street light is much closer than the Sun; so parallax mainly affects the position of the light's reflected image. These perspective effects are *always* present in pictures of reflections in water -- but not often as obvious as in your picture, which is a "textbook example" of the effect." |
