Headlight self portrait, a photo from Rhone Alpes, South

Photographer's Note

The Object
I took this photo in a car museum in the outskirts of Lyon. The reflection is on a headlight of a French vehicle from 1905. I guess you can’t compare the performance of those cars to modern cars, but what I really like in those old classic cars is the beautiful features.

The Reflection
If you look into the reflection than you will see me upside-down while the background isn’t. That’s because close elements were reflected on the internal surface of the headlight while far elements like the trees and sky were reflected on the external surface.
