Creating a mirror effect

Sometimes it is fun to manipulate an image to give an illusion of something different than what is seen in the original photograph. I came across this article by Rick Sammon and decided to try the technique with one of my Palouse images.

This technique as described by Rick is “creating the magical mirror effect”. I used one of my images that was shot of a wind farm near Walla Walla, WA at sunset. I followed the instructions provided by Rick and created the image at the top of this page.

This was a fun technique and creates an illusion that there is a lake reflecting the original image. Thanks to Rick Sammon for sharing this process.
