Robberfly, U, side, MA, Cape Cod

Detailed Description

Experiment - Thanks to the person for suggesting looking into one-way glass to eliminate double reflections in shots taken on glass. In this case the robberfly was photographed on a piece of glass that was coated with the mirror finish one-way film that you can buy in the hardware store for to add daytime privacy to your houses. It worked in the sense that there is only one reflection and the lighting is good, but if you look at the reflection the quality is low...almost certainly due to the quality of reflection from this mirror film. Interestingly, quality decreases with distance in that more distant parts are fuzzier...So, a useful approach, but am now going to try and track down some quality one-way glass somewhere...suggestions are welcome.
