Reflections - Answer

The chrome ball is the top of our paper towel holder. I was putting a new roll on it when I decided it would be a good shot for James's meme.

Reflections - Chrome ball

A curved surface makes for some interesting. This shiny ball reflects the rest of the room and me. Do you recognize this common kitchen device? Answer will appear Sunday.

Reflections - Reflected sunset

What is reflecting this sunset in the shadow portion of the image? It is actually a reflection inside the lens called a "lens flare". Bright points of light in the field of view and slightly outside get bounced around by the lens elements and provide an extra image on the sensor (or film). When the light source is outside the field of view, it often provides streaks of light across the image (see my Turkey Vulture on Wing post. The effect can be used for striking effects or can just leave us puzzled by the unintended bright spots where we did not see them before snapping the shutter. For another view of this sunset visit my Sky Watch.

The sun returns!

As promised by our local weather prognosticators, the sun returned this morning (actually a little ahead of schedule). We can now look forward to the early bulbs flowering and leaf buds sprouting.

Reflections - Red snow

Our red front door gives a red cast to the snow reflected in our storm door last month.
