Mobile Photography StreetWise Sixth Challenge ‘Reflection in the Street’
Hello Everyone!
We are in the process of curating our September Showcase and wanted to thank you for submitting such wonderful images we look forward to sharing it with you soon!
The theme of our next challenge is “Reflection in the Street’
Deadline: September 31, 2016
“A photograph can be an instant of life captured for all eternity that will never cease looking back at you.” — Bridget Bardot.
While walking in the streets there are reflections everywhere, in windows, mirrors, on rainy days, in puddles, on metallic and shiny surfaces, that capture our attention — sometimes we even see our own reflection when capturing a photo. This challenge is to find those reflections and figure out how to capture them that makes for a great photo.
We are excited to view your submissions each month and look forward to curating your photographs for this next ‘Reflection” showcase.
A recap for the rules and procedure for entry:

In street photography, she enjoys the challenge of capturing the unexpected and also the necessity of being present moment to moment with the surrounding environment – whether it is the continual shifting of light and shadows or the instantaneous and fleeting expressions and postures of people on the street.
