June 10 2004:
Street Scene

This is Walton Road in Woking, one of the poorer neighbourhoods in my town. Spotted this roadside mirror and thought ‘Why Not?’ And that VW Polo driving by – a blue two-door one, just like mine…


Photoshop:
Cropped and Resized
Applied Gaussian Blur 24 to area beyond the mirror frame
Framed using Colour Pantone 196C

Canon EOS 300D Digital Rebel
1/200s f/25.0 at 52.0mm iso800 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Well captured Ray

well seen ray, those mirrors get seldom stuff here. I made such shots once when they where on allmost every street corner.

Are you sure it WASN'T YOURS!!! LOL Like the use of the mirror Ray!

I like it...and for a poorer area of town...it looks a lot better than DC

this mirror shot makes you look like a twelve year old kid =)

This is so well done, with the 'port hole' mirror looking at the traffic. Very creative work.

Since you said a poorer area, I am hoping you did not turn around and find it was your VW. :) I really like the reflectiona nd photo

Intriguing shot; certainly drew me in.

COOL! Look at you in short sleeves!! It's SOOO cold and foggy today! Funny to see the different weather all over the world!

Well done Ray - I've been trying to do a similar shot at "my street corner" - made several attempts with inferior results. Your dark, blurred background really makes this one !!
Guest 10-Jun-2004 20:03
LOVE this one, Ray!! So two self portraits in a row for you, eh, along with tomorrow's?? What a treat for all of us!!

I love this mirror..! and what's reflected is excellent. So.. what do you think it means? a car like yours driving by just at the right moment. Maybe, someone took yours? lol
