Mirroring or Camera Rotation?

At the beginning of May 2024 I visited a pyramid somewhere in Brandenburg (D) together with Hans, @stepko and @lichtkunstfoto. @lichtkunstfoto was kind enough to chauffeur @stepko and me there from the hotel. Hans traveled from home in his own car especially for this light painting evening.
In the first two pictures we see a camera rotation of 180° around the optical axis. The shadows of the trees in the top picture reveal that it cannot be a reflection. In the picture below, it is no longer so clear whether it is a camera rotation or a reflection due to the different illumination.

In the third image, it is even more difficult to recognize that this is not a reflection. Here, too, the camera was rotated 180° around the optical axis. First I aligned the camera so that an axis symmetry was created in the center of the image. Then I started the exposure and exposed the scene with a flashlight. The lens was then covered. Geane and Renata on the right and left of the swing changed places and Rodrigo in the middle rested his chin on the other arm. Now the lens was uncovered again and I exposed the scene once more with the flashlight. The close observer will immediately notice the different positions of the beams on the swing and on the fence, as well as the different positions of Geane's and Renata's arms.

Finally, I show a real reflection. I staged the Rakotzbrücke with Hans and @stepko. I described the action in this post:
