Awesome Reflection Photography

If we are to give a scientific definition of the reflection, then we’d say that it is a change in direction of a wavefront between two different media so that the wavefront returns into the medium from which it originated. So basically, a reflection is the image of an object mirrored on a shiny surface.

Reflections are commonly used by experienced photographers to create stunning pictures and even optical illusions, when one can’t distinguish the real image from the reflected one.

This post is all about this wonderful art of reflection photography. We’ve assembled a unique collection of photos that count for sure among the most beautiful reflection photography out there.

Art Found in a Rice Field

Art Found in a Rice Field

Stunning Crop Art has sprung up across Rice Fields in Japan. But this is no Alien Creation - the designs have been cleverly planted.

Farmers creating the huge displays use No Ink or Dye. Instead, different Colors of Rice Plants have been precisely and strategically arranged and grown in the paddy fields.

As summer progresses and the plants shoot up, the detailed artwork begins to emerge.

A Sengoku Warrior on Horseback has been created from hundreds of thousands of Rice Plants, the colors created by using different varieties, in Inakadate in Japan.

The largest and finest work is grown in the Aomori Village of Inakadate , 600 miles north of Toyko, where the tradition began in 1993.

Napolean on horseback can be seen from the Skies, created by precision planting and months of planning between villagers and farmers in Inkadate

Smaller works of Crop Art can be seen in other Rice-Farming Areas of Japan such as this image of Doraemon and Deer Dancers.

The farmers create the murals by planting little purple and yellow-leafed Kodaimai Rice along with their local green-leafed Tsugaru Roman variety to create the colored patterns between planting and harvesting in September.
