Title: Why Can't I see Myself In a Photo Of A Mirror ?
Post by: neilep on 18/07/2007 20:48:00

Dearest Peeps and Mentors of Me,

As any decent mirror collector knows taking a pictorial record of your mirrors is vital.

But why can I not see my reflection in a photo of a mirror?..I mean.....it's a mirror isn't it ?...why should a piccys of one not reflect ?



On reflection....I conclude this to be a silly question and not up to domestic sheep standards ...but me will leave it as it may turn out to be in fact one of my better efforts !!

Hugs

Because the it is now a picture of a mirror not the actual mirror! LOL what a trick question you sly sheepy you! LOL

I still don't know why, but unless you take the picture with you reflecting in the mirror at the time of the piccy you are not going to see your reflection! LOL!

It is an interesting thought though!
