The idea is pick up the colour of the ground in the angled mirrors to enhance the illusion of the floating carpet - in these photos I think it is working pretty well.

The Tiniest Carpet with Mirrors
Have added the 'invisible car' trick to the model using a tin foil baking tray - the actual acrylic mirror I hope to use on the large version has much better optical properties (i.e. is more mirror-like).

That is awesome, I reckon the mirror will work superbly on the desolate playa.
ReplyDeleteThat looks great, it picks up the ground colour nicely - only problem I can see is that the mirror edge is quite clearly framed by the shadow of the carpet, but that's always going to be the case and won't be as much of an issue if viewed from a lower angle, I think...
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean - but a nearer to vertical mirror might minimise it - am experimenting with the angle.
DeleteLuckily midday is freaking hot, so AB is not as active as late afternoon/dusk when things tend to be most active... and then the shadows would be really long, or non existent.
