1 Apple & 2 Mirrors*
Ric Skilton

To create this image I took 2 identical mirrors and placed them at a 30' angle to each other.
I then hung an apple by a thread (which I have cloned out) .I took a number of shots at different angles and with different settings before deciding on the final image.
I found that the reflection from the flash on the apple gave an extra dimension to the end result .

Sony Cybershot
1/800s f/8.0 at 18.1mm iso100 with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Ric, this is really a clever idea and a neat effect to view. I too like the added interest of the flash reflections. The choice of a green apple works well here too. Good one. MFC

Floating Apples! How cool Ric! Clever idea and well done. And yes, the strange reflections, on the apples, add interest to the shot. Very nice, I like it. bottles
