as portrayed on previous web page
A photograph taken of the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff using a Fuji S7000 prosumer digital camera is causing a great stir across the globe. The image of one of the main supports to the structure is reflected within the adjoining building which has reflective glass, the photo has been identified by some viewers (at first glance) as that of an aircraft.

Naming the Photograph

I have therefore named the image: 'A Plane Reflection'

Background

Waiting to travel home from Cardiff, I had to wait at least ½ hour or so for the next train; I therefore decided to take a few photos in close proximity to the train station to kill my boredom.
The Millenium Stadium is an amazing feat of modern engineering - my eyes were drawn to a reflection of one of its main supports in an ajoining building which had reflective glass. It wasn't until viewing the image on a computer screen that the image taken provides both reflection and refraction properties.

Synopsis

The Millenium Stadium, Cardiff

Lighting - Natural Light without no Flash

In my own opinion, photography is all about the relationship between the photographer and the subject matter, but what matters most is the light surrounding that subject matter in the first instance.
The weather on this occasion was sunny but overcast, natural lighting for outdoor photography - perfect! (Clouds in the sky also added to the 'atmosphere' of this photo - as per the reflections in the adjoining building next to the stadium itself)

Refracted Light

The reflection of one of the main supports to the Millenium Stadium is refracted thoroughout the reflective glass in the adjoining building due to both the photographers position and that of the building itself being in direct proportion to the point of where the photograph was originally taken and the angle of the adjoining building to the Millenium Stadium itself.
The photograph was taken using a DSLR camera which captured the exact image as seen through the view finder of the camera at the point of its capture.

Refraction - Definition

The turning or bending of any wave, such as a light or sound wave, when it passes from one medium into another of different optical density.

The Photograph - The Synopsis

This photograph of the Millenium Stadium, Cardiff, depicts a reflection of one of the main supports to the structure of the stadium reflected in an adjoining building that has reflective glass within its own infrastructure.
The image gives the impression not only of its intended purpose of a reflected image but also that of the unique and sometimes rare situation of refraction of light as seen within the adjoining building to the stadium itself.
