Actually, the speed of light is a tad delayed in the reflection, as it travels there and then towards your eye/camera lens - the reflection is then delayed whilst the actual event is not.
I hope youre joking because it was half a meme for a while, but pretty sure SOME people believed it.
Light travels at 3.0*10^8 m/s. In this scenario the light has to travel maybe 10cm more in the path from the reflexion compared to the direct path. So it would take the light an extra 3.0*10^-10 seconds. Thats not even a BILLIONTH of a second.
The speed of light, baby
