Smoke and Mirrors


I stumbled across my first camera trick accidentally. Tonight, I was taking pictures of objects placed on top of a mirror. While I was shooting some of these objects, I noticed a pile of shells that I had collected during my brother's recent wedding. I placed one of these shells on top the mirror and took a few shots. I did not expect anything special when I uploading the shots for cropping. However, as soon as I opened the large image, I noticed that I had accidentally created a clam. Even those I had only half of the shell, the mirror created the other half of the clam. Unless you knew the picture was taken on a mirror, you might think the shot is of a whole clam.
