reflection (warped)
Posted by bluechameleon (Vancouver, Canada) on 28 February 2010 in People & Portrait.
From February 12 to February 28, 2010 Vancouver is hosting the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. I welcome you all to see scenes from the streets of my beautiful city during this time.
Along Burrard Street a line up of police motorcycles that stretched for half a city block...a reflection of the Hotel
Vancouver in one of the headlamps.
Check out the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympic Games set at my flickr.

Chris Pereira from San Jose, CA, United States
creative shot, I really like the fisheye effect of shooting something round and shiny!

Seraphine from San Francisco, United States
that's what i like, a guy with a big lens.
it's a very cool photo. (i don't know how
anyone could keep a lamp so clean and
shiny, there's not even a spot on it.)

That's what I call spit and polish. Shiny boys toys. Plus a bonus self portrait. Good that you trusted to steady hands and put your head up. Well framed

Likeable taking. The distortion effect increases the interest. The forms enchant to me that take place.
A strong hug

This feels so inviting to me.. I like the woman in the white jeans watching you...I think she might be with you? or at least thats the story I have made up! :)

Morris Taub (momo) from Montpellier, France
fab chrome reflection, a world in a bubble?...i also like the blurred areas around the chrome...amazing tonal range...kinda reminds me of Man Ray's distortion images...was it him or Andre Kertez?...now I'm not sure...I'll have to do some research...

Yashar from Tehran, Iran

JoeB from Brampton, Canada
A natural fisheye, is that the one-legged-technique of photography.
1 Mar 2010 2:23pm
Jean-Luc from Lyon, France

Great and interesting selportrait of you. I really admire your excellent technique as always...standing on one leg when photgraphing, I mean :-) !

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
Were you standing on one foot? Nice reflection.
3 Mar 2010 7:35pm
@Howard F.: Thanks Howard. No, not standing on one foot...if you look closely you'll see that the other foot is back on the curb :)
One from Açores, Portugal
A magnificent idea and expression, I really like this shot, congratulations !

Ronnie 2¢ from Atlantic Shores, United Kingdom
Somehow, you have made this more fun that it has ever been before . . . and to do so on one leg is truly amazing !
3 Mar 2010 10:24pm
@Ronnie 2¢: Thank you Ronnie :) Actually, I am not really the one legged wonder. Because of the fisheye reflection it's hard to see that I've got one leg back on the curb.
Polydactyle from Montreal, Canada
Hi Sharon. There has long as I had not seen :)) Very nice.

Lorna from Regina, Canada
Very cool shot. Are scenes from the olympics on their way??
5 Mar 2010 2:32am
@Lorna: Thank you :) Yes, I'll be putting up more street scenes next week. It's been a hectic week and I've been sick on top of it all so I've been neglecting things here at AM3 :/
Will from Tokyo, Japan
Very cool shot, this would be a great avatar for you. I love how the headlamp gives a fisheye effect and there you are with cameras hanging off your arm, very nice indeed.
6 Mar 2010 2:28am
@Will: Thanks Will. Avatar you say? Hmm...I never thought of that, I'll have to try that, thank you :)
