The scenery was reflected three times, which should be a mirror image. But when we actually shoot, why can't we see it?

Different shooting angles.

Every evening when it rains, you can see a group of fellow travelers "gathering" at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. The reason why we use such a tiring shooting posture is because the reflection is closely related to the shooting angle. As long as we correct the angle between the camera and the water, we can change the appearance of the reflection in the picture. Take Bao 'an Palace as an example. The closer the lens is to the water, the more complete the reflection of the security palace is. Simply put, the number of reflections in the picture is inversely proportional to the height of the viewpoint. In addition, the number of reflective surfaces will also have an impact. For example, because the coverage area of stagnant water is limited, it is even more necessary to actively find a suitable shooting angle to present an ideal picture.

In landscape photography, the reflection of water is a frequently used element. In addition to water accumulation after rain, there are lakes, rivers, ports and ponds. Reflection can be seen everywhere. Does that mean that no matter what kind of water reflection is taken, the farther the reflection is from the photographer, the reflection is almost proportional to the real scene, and the height of the viewpoint will not have much influence. For example, if you shoot the Lanyang Museum, you don't have to shoot at a very low angle, that is, you can shoot both the reflection and the real scene. Distance is also related to the choice of lens focal length. For example, in Cuihu and Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, a super wide-angle lens must be used to completely incorporate the reflection of the1kloc-0/building and the lake.
