Mirrors

You see quite a few mirror shots. I decided to give it a try in my bathroom. These images are my first attempts. My objective is to get a 5 mirror shot.

The first attempt only got to three. I was using a flash which caused all sorts of problems. But for the first try, it had interesting results.

The second try was successful. I gave up on the flash and shot it at 1600 with the available light. Canon doesn't do well with tungsten white balance, but I wanted to make it work and didn't worry about that. Another problem was the autofocus which got confused. I could do it manually next time. I also used a laser pointer to work out mirror positioning. This was fun, but not sure that I will do much more of this. It was a good challenge.

Well, I decided to give it one more try and had a great success, getting up to eleven (count'em eleven) mirrors. The third try was the charm. If I wanted to refine them I would look for better ways to handle the flash and to handle focusing. Now Ginny can have the bathroom back!
