I was trying to get a decent reflection shot on my trip to Hellingly Asylum yesterday, but I only remembered when I was at the point of panicking about finding my way out so I didn't get anything.

Might go back there and try again.

Next time you go mate give us a shout. I'd go there with you

Ok nice one. I am supposed to be meeting with another guy called Luke from Talk Photography next time but the more the merrier (I think any more than 4 would be pushing it though).

Either way I'll give you a shout, I'm not going back on my own again!!!

I've added you, although I am mostly on MSN as 'Appear Offline'. A bad habit of mine as I usually don't want to talk to anyone

Entered mine. It's an idea but am hoping to go somewhere to execute a better one soon

if i had a macro lens that was the sort of thing I'd enter as well. I forget now who posted an amazing image of some guys face yet you still saw a reflection in his eye. :cool:

Mr Jones · 7 Jun 2009 at 13:57

Mine wasn't a Macro lens, just great that the 25mm Pancake lens can focus in at 20cm... and reflection in the eye? It's pretty hard to achieve unless shopped... or at least on an orient eye anyway.

It looks like everyone is going for a quite literal representation of 'reflection' so far.

I am going to try and think outside the box a little more

I considered interpreting it in a 'reflective thinking' way, but no obvious impact photos came into my head.

That said, the month is but young...

Indeed it is. I am going to try and go down the reflective thinking route as I have some ideas. Perhaps a bit risky but hey ho

dam. if only my trip to the lakes provided better car parking I think I could have easily won this after a view I only managed to capture with my eyes..

I see your eye reflection picture and raise you:

*there used to be a picture here*

Wait... I can't enter this round? Who invented that silly rule?

Yeah after you posted your topic yesterday about your flash tent I took a nosey around your site and saw that pic there

almost a year after the ocuk photo competitions helped get me into photography and persuaded me to get my DSLR I've finally entered. Despite not being 100% happy with my choice of image I'm so glad to have finally taken the plunge!

I think I might change my image as I don't really think it fits the title *that* clearly. But either way, it's good times

Gouge out your eyes and post them in the forum, who knows you might still win! :eek:

I think he'd only win if he took a picture of himself reflecting on how bad an idea that really is

.

I'm gonna get my camera out soon and see what I can do, hopefully some inspiration will turn up.

By the way, does anyone know when the results for last months competition come out?

The results for last months comp should be up from the third week in june onwards. seems to be averaging out around 3 - 3.5 weeks before the judges make their decisions.
