Location

The photo was taken on LaSalle street during mid-afternoon on a cloudy day. Literally it was taken on the street

Time

This unique image was taken during Mid-Afternoon on LaSalle Street in the loop area of Chicago. The cloudy day cast a perfect light for reflections.

Lighting

The cloud covered sky was the perfect natural lighting to capture this image. the clouds cast a light that turned the puddles of water into mirrors on the street ground.

Equipment

Sony A7RII. FE 50MM 1.8, FE

Inspiration

A photographer for 10 yrs, i'm always looking for unique shots that are different. Saw the puddle that looked like a mirror and saw some pedestrians going across and it looked just perfect. The shot was there so I fired up my camera and captured this shot.

Editing

The image needed something to make it pop out and stand out. Therefore, I used Lightroom to convert image to black and white. The Black and White made the shot look more clear and captured the mood of a rainy day in the city.

In my camera bag

I usually carry my Sony A7RII camera, FE 35MM 1.8, FE 50MM 1.8, FE 85MM 1.8, AND FE 55-210MM 4.6-6.3. Sony, External Flash with Wireless Radio Control.

Feedback

On a stormy or rainy day don't be afraid to go out and look for bodies of water on the ground, look for your perfect mirror and capture your unique and magical view. There are mirrors all over when it rains.
