Official BimmerPost Photo Contest #47: "Reflective, Transparent, Translucent"
transflectent? reflucent? reflectarucent? refluscaparent?
BACKGROUND:
Reflections: the property of a propagated wave being thrown back from a surface (such as a mirror).
Transparencies: light passes through almost undisturbed, such that one can see through clearly.
Translucencies: allowing light to pass through but diffusing it so much to cause a degree of opaqueness.
THEME:
For this contest, submit your photos that contain Reflections, Transparencies, and/or Translucencies. MUST contain at least two of these, or all three. Any photo that doesn't meet that requirement will not be included in the poll.
No Multiple Exposures! No post-trickery! You may want to utilize a Circular Polarizer, but it is not required to achieve these properties.
Transparencies must be able to be seen through to some imaginatively-identifiable content.
Translucencies require light passing through a plane that is at least somewhat opaque (subjects on the other side may need to be very close to the plane or a reflection on this plane that also allows some transparency still qualifies.
Reflections are pretty easy to achieve.
Reflected or pass-through content/subject matter is NOT REGULATED.
If you can get all three, you are awesome. and you are entitled to vote on your own image. but we'll still throw internet tomatoes at you. in the face.
***EDIT***
alright, i think i need to clarify. i'm expecting to see images that are focused on these properties - not images that happen to include them. i want you to use these properties in an abusive and manipulative way - just like my ex-wife. no, i've never been married, i'm just kidding.
***EDIT***
Examples:
The first three images contain all three properties.
not the best photograph, but an example of 2 out of 3:
