| Notice here how the masts reflections start at the base of the object and come towards your base (your feet). |
 |
| Here it's noticeable in the mooring posts as well. The left mast is not perfectly vertical, that's why the reflection isn't angled back to your base as the mooring posts are. |
 |
| The camera lens distortion is very visible when the photo above is compared to this photo. Look at the curved line formed by the base of the boats here and the straighter line formed above. The fact that the masts and mooring posts reflections are coming toward your feet can still be seen in each photo though. |
 |
| The farther away the masts or buildings are the less noticeable the angle is. The angle back to you is still there though. |
 |
| This is single point perspective, the horizontal distance in the foreground is equal to the small horizontal distance in the background. |
 |
| This drawing is the top view of the above photo.
The camera is at the bottom of the drawing, the two outside angled lines of the drawing appear as the straight sides of the photo. Two things are happening. One, the photo has made the lower blue line between the angled black lines appear as large as the top red line. Two, this apparent distortion has caused the distant buildings reflections to be less apparent. |
 |
| This last photo is a mirror reflection of objects up close. You can see the objects reflections converging. That's one of my oil paintings in the background. |
