W/NW: Your Reflection


Recommended Posts

Thanks, Dominic.

 

While we're on the subject, can someone explain to me how it is that when I set a wide

aperture, the reflected background in the subject's sunglasses is much more focussed

than the blurred real background? I know it works and used it deliberately in my shot

above, I just don't understand why it works.

Bill: Thanks, but I'm not convinced that's it. I certainly see depth of field effects in flat

mirrors (e.g. the mirrored self-portrait on my community member page). Maybe it's just

that the curved sunglasses concentrate the background image to such a small size that

you don't see the blur, and if you enlarged it to match the size of the real background it

would still be as blurry?
