Playing with Reflections - Bellevue Downtown Park - 10am - 2 Hours
Using water, windows, mirrors or any sort of reflective surface can change an image into a work of art. The wonderful thing about using reflections when taking photos is that they can completely alter the image from something fairly straightforward to something richer or abstract or otherwise more artistic.
The Downtown Park, in the heart of Bellevue, is a one-half mile promenade, bordered by a double row of shade trees and a stepped canal, with a 240-foot wide waterfall that cascades into a reflecting pond. A ten-acre lawn area has Bellevue’s skyline and Mount Rainier in the background. Time permitting, we may also venture into downtown Bellevue to explore reflective opportunities provided by the many tall buildings & office towers that make up the Bellevue skyline
