two figures appear only as reflections, stretched across angled panes of glass—disconnected yet connected, like fragments of thought. the architecture frames them not as subjects, but as echoes, as traces. in this abstract geometry, presence becomes illusion and light becomes storyteller.
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.

This is a photo of refraction patterns as the surf rolls in at a shallow depth over the sand at Clam Harbour Beach,
My first image of a Pink Plumeria flower reflection through a water drop, I must say it came out ok for a hand held shot. I will have to try next time with some straws and different flowers as backdrop with the tripod. Flickr friend and contact "Licht" is a master at these extraordinary images of water drop reflections. Hope Y'all like it. Lol.
