Conical Mirrors

Investigating further with the help from the link that Mr. Edington's sent me I have fond that light doesn't reflect off of the mirrors the way I though it did. Light reflects off of the mirror equal to the degree of the mirror (Illustration below). So I suggest that we either use a larger mirror (left) so that the camera would be able to see what is on the side of the car or we can use a smaller mirror (right) but we would have to put it upside down which will probably work better. (Here are a few to links http://dasl.mem.drexel.edu/Hing/tutorials/omnicam/homebrew_omnicam.htm and http://www.exo.net/~jyu/activities/conical%20mirror.pdf )
