Exercise 13. Shiny surfaces

For this final exercise of the assignment I chose to photograph a spoon that had reflective properties.
This is the spoon taken from above with no filtering of the light.  I am reflected in the spoon along with the camera.

 I then used a cone of the baking/tracing paper around the lens to try to filter out some of the reflections.

Here are the results:

After varying degrees of success starting with the first shot where the cone was not close enough to the spoon I managed to remove quite a lot of the reflections but never quite managed to get rid of them all.
