Upon Reflection

Uploaded: April 20, 2008

Description

This image is the combination of two separate photographs.
You are looking at the front of a grand hotel in Orlando.
The reflections are created by layering this hotel front over a shot of sky and trees taken in Denver.
I used different transparencies, more opaque in the front windows and less as you go back to the upper windows.

Entered into DD.

Exif: F Number: 11, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1000 seconds, ISO: 640, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 300.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D
