JACK LARSON PHOTOGRAPHY
Family Room Reflections
Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 2 June 2009 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
This one is for Florence and Karine. It's a shot from inside of our family room. And coming from Jack (and not an artist with this style), it seems perfect for Silly Tuesday.

This is lovely. At first I didn't read your description. I was going to ask how you processed this. I think it is a beautiful image.

@Cricket-Tammy: Actually I did next to nothing with this shot. It was totally for fun.

Oregon is a silly place to have a Tuesday. silly...bow!

I think you are both silly and creative....I really quite love this shot!!!! Thank you again Jack for becoming Silly Papa whilst I'm away. I will try to visit every Tuesday even if I don't manage to post!
Take care my friend and 'Go the Silliness' :-)

@Linerberry: Again, have a great trip.

Hi Jack ! Gives the impression you're living on trees ! Must be great but a bit risky, no ? ;-)

I think this is lovely. Interesting and great colours

@MrsAmber: Thank you.
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
Excellent! I love the capture of the reflection. I don't understand why it is silly though.
2 Jun 2009 10:50am
@Craig: Because it is so unlike me. I just don't do that sort of thing. The only reason for this shot was because it was all in the capture; no manipulation whatsoever.
Nicholas from Shah Alam, Malaysia
Lol was a bit confused then I got it. Binoculars for bird watching as well?
2 Jun 2009 11:25am
@Nicholas: The binoculars was a sheer stroke of luck.
@bluechameleon: Thanks; it was fun.

A nice reflection, indoors and out, shot. Nice to see your lush view out the family room window.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
L'interférence entre l'intérieur et l'extérieure donne une vision magique, un peu comme si la pièce avec les meubles étaient disposés directement dans la nature. Etonnante mais séduisante idée.
2 Jun 2009 2:52pm
@Evelyne Dubos: It was all by luck; nothing really by design. I noticed the reflections so vivid in the window and I wondered how they would capture; so I fired away.
Ajay from Pune, India
I find it quite creative than silly. But yes, as you said it doesn't match your style of shots with no room for imperfections.
2 Jun 2009 4:12pm
@Ajay: What I meant was that I don't do composites. Plus, I am not nearly as creative as I would like to be.
Anthony Morgan Lambert from Bielefeld(old Pembroke Dock boy,Wales), Germany
I´m havinga hard job finding this silly !! It´s far too good for that !!

Tough to figure out what's what in this one. Silliness rules!
2 Jun 2009 5:43pm
@willow: "Tough to figure out what's what" - now that's the story of my life.
baobab from Cambridge, United States
I love the inside-outside feel of this shot - somewhat reminiscent of Rabbit's Alice In Wonderland style. from the reflections it is clear that you are at home in the woods.

Steve Rice from Olympia, United States
A beautiful shot. The reflections are amazing of course.
2 Jun 2009 5:59pm
@Steve Rice: It was a Sunday morning, and I remember how dumbstruck I was when I saw the reflections in the window. The results turned out better than I had even hoped.
sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States
Really nice through the window capture. The colors and clarity are exceptional.
2 Jun 2009 6:55pm
@sherri: Thanks, Sherri. Wish that you were on Am3. The shot on your blog right now is perfect for Silly Tuesday.
@kisskool: Thank you.
Sarah from Switzerland
Ooh, I do like this a lot! It's like inviting nature into your livingroom - something I'd love to do! This is a very cool shot.

Oh ! I didn't notice (read the caption), I blush & say Thanks J@ck* :)
2 Jun 2009 10:42pm
@k@: You and Flo do such a great job with that which pushes the edge of the envelope.
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
I think it has worked really well, the binoculars add a funny dimension in the way they are placed
2 Jun 2009 11:21pm
@Richard_Irwin: Wish that I could say that the placement was intentional.
MysLykeMeeh from Toronto, Canada
wow...greenery effect! soothing in our eyes. Wonderful shot!

Toni from Eastern Washington, United States
Oh my, but you had me puzzled at what I was looking at, at first. I love reflection shots and this view through your family room window is great, silly or not. =)
