    I like the first one. I like how you see all the refelections on the front of the lens.

    I would try flipping the picture horizontally so that the writing on the camera and lens is readable.

    Thanks for your idea. I Thought this was a no photoshop challenge. So I did not do that. No big deal.

    I went through about 40 iterations with different filters, flashes, and camera positions. Getting the flash right was a pain as the flash reflected from every surface and often blew out the entire picture.

    This was a fun learning experience. I look forward to more in the future.

    Andy,

    Thanks. I admit I did not pay attention. But, it was a good exercise for me to get the photo I wanted without photoshop. Which I don't even have a copy of :-)

    Love the first one
    That's really cool, and I'm glad you told us how you set it up, and how many different images you took too! That helps me appreciate the result even more. clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    The first shot is excellent! Very well done. The geometry is perfect. The only thing I can think of that might improve this shot is some minor contrast and saturation adjustments. This is a real contender for the win! clap.gifclap.gif

    Thanks folks. Just for fun I am posting some of the others that I threw out for various reasons.

    You can see why working with mirrors can be a pain.

    Oh, and some of you might get this. I considered a title for this one "My god..., It's full of stars."

    I went back and made the suggested changes, is it kosher to resubmit with the changes? Never mind, read the rules :-)
