Shroom trip continued...
HDR rework of an old shot of mine. Probably the best mushroom refraction I've gotten. Still digging in my archives, as you can see.
The dew drop acts as a wide-angle lens, and because there is only one lens it inverts the light passing through it, which turns the scene upside down and reversed. Think of all the light as converging and crossing over inside the dew drop. It is not a REFLECTION. It is a REFRACTION. Reflection is when light bounces back. Refraction is when it passes through and is altered. Clearly the light here is passing through as the mushroom is behind the drop.
Check out our refraction group for lots of discussion on this topic, how-tos, examples, etc.
