wow, love your photo technique. The ‘floating castle’ really brought a smile onto my face!

Thanks so much for your generous sharing!

Thanks for the great write-up! Really intriguing results from this seemingly simple but oh so creative technique. So there’s a use for phones in photography after all (jk)! Looking forward to expiriment.

Wow – there you go – I thought the shots where photoshopped. So cool how those shots are done. Thanks for sharing.

Exciting, have fun trying it out! You don’t need any extra software or tricks to make it work. Once you’ve lined up the reflection properly and shoot with a wide aperture it’ll blend together nicely 🙂
As for editing photos, I use Photoshop and Lightroom, both work well! I use Photoshop for more intricate adjustments and Lightroom for simple colour toning or consistency.
Good luck!

This is so cool! I’m gonna try it next time I’m on the road.

I have a quick question, do you need to do any extra editing to blend the edge of the phone to the image? (except from using a wide aperture). And is it possible to edit it with Lightroom, or only with Photoshop? Thank you!

In reply to Rome. Haha that's so good! I've definitely bent awkwardly over the car roof or bonnet before to attempt a reflection, I hope he got a great shot too!

A few weeks ago I was back home in San Diego. I saw this dude leaning over the top of my car using the sunroof to get reflection of the tall buildings. Immediately thought of you. I hope he got a good shot. These here are remarkable.
