The June 2012 theme for the Viewfinders challenge was "reflections". I wanted to try getting some repeated reflections from several mirrors, so I made this shot. I used three 12" sq. mirror tiles taped together to make a equilateral triangle box, open at the top and bottom. I set it on a white board and took the shot from the top. The target is a small silver-colored hippo that is about 3 inches long. The only concerns I had were keeping the camera out of the shot and getting enough light into the box to offset the loss from multiple reflections. I put a desk lamp above the box and used a wide-angle lens to get a wider coverage and greater depth of field. A photoshop adjustment of brightness let me add some light to the far side. I am fairly well pleased with the outcome. Comments welcome.
