Bradley and other manufacturers make all metal (stainless steel) mirrors to be used in schools and and other aplications where glass may not last. Maybe this will work. I love your images. Regards, Guillermo |

I love the result You've come up with.
Nice work. I guess you have to know about ferrofluids capabilities to figure out how to come to this result. |

Holy moly, beautiful images - I was just looking at some of this stuff on the internet yesterday. I thought if I bought some for my husband for Christmas, then I could borrow it to take photos of. :) Now I've made up my mind - cool stuff! |

I don't know if they're big enough, but the mirrors in SLR's are front-silvered to avoid the extra reflections of a glass plane. Get an old broken SLR on ebay and take it apart for the mirror. Maybe get a medium format for the bigger mirror.
Or order one from Edmund Scientific:

Great picture. Reminds me I need more flashes. |

Thanks for the explanation - it's a very interesting shape and terrific lighting. Oh, and thanks for exposing me to the concept of a ferrofluid. I might have to buy one (some?) myself!

Shiny things lend themselves well to b/w. Great job with the lighting and exposure. Would've cropped out the bottom OOF portion, don't think it adds anything to the shot. (no vote) |

I think I would have cropped out reflection that looks like a third thing (whatever this is!) at the bottom... but it's wonderful even now. |

What an interesting sculpture. You've done well to blend the surface it is on into your background. |

What is that? Whatever it is, it's very cool. |

Beautiful use of symmetry, reflection, cones, tones. An engine part from the Starship Enterprise? |

the lighting is so perfect it looks like something created out of a 3D modelling program. Quite stunning. |
