I think as human beings we are all attracted to shiny things – oh look squirrel! Just kidding.
But they go grab our eye. However, photographing them can be a bit trickier. You have to watch out for reflections, or maybe use them in your composition to your advantage. But you have to be intentional about it as a photographer.
In these images I found of shiny things let’s see how some other photographers handled this tough subject:
