It reminded me of a Victorian garden in a glass orb -- although I can't remember ever having seen one -- at least in this lifetime. That's the magic of pictures.
Großer Grasbrook, where the well known Pirate Stoertebecker (literally "named Rush-Beaker" *1360 Wismar †1401 Hamburg, both Haseatic League) lost his Head and saved afterwards his crew, the Victual Brothers (Victualien Brüder). They called themself the Likedeeler, what espresses, everybody got the same share.

I have been fascinated by water drop refraction for a long time, always meaning to 'give it a go' but always putting it off. I really admire photographers who have perfected their art in this field. Their images, mostly floral, are so awe inspiring and beautiful, I tended to think "I could never do that".
Earlier this week I was trying to think of a subject to photograph for the start of the New Year. I decided to try water drop refraction and began to look for suitable flowers. That's not very New 'Yearish' though, I thought. Then I had a idea. Why not use an image instead of a flower. I needed the image to be just the right size to reflect in the drop, so I created a Happy New Year image, sent it to my mobile phone and saved it.
The resulting image was created by mounting my phone upside down behind the drop. I took over 1500 images before
I was happy enough to stop. It could be have been improved, with a more suitable lens and better lighting but for now I'm happy with my first attempt at water drop refraction :))
To all my Flickr friends, thank you all so very much for taking an interest in my images throughout 2015, I wish you all a happy and healthy 2016 :))
I have been playing about with water images as part of s challenge. I thought to show refraction through putting the spoon in the jug and then photographing it in my garden.

I was just trying out different Subjects to refract into the droplets of water on my spiral piece of copper wire.
This is a photo stack of 8 images. I did the full stack of 16 images, but that just didn't look as good with everything in the shot in focus. I feel like there has to be some blur for it to be believable.
Not my favorite one of these I have done, mostly because of the flower. A rather boring, yellow dahlia. I'm having a hard time finding good flowers at the local stores lately. I miss Summer...
