By using a bubble trapped in a glass, I captured the light being refracted through it.

 

It reminded me of a silk scarf.

Light refraction through a spiderweb. I like the way the light breaks up into almost rectangular shapes if you use a small aperture, and the way those shapes sit alongside this fence's grid pattern. I guess a spiderweb is a kind of grid too, although this particular one was quite irregular, the kind that is more like a distorted 3D box than an almost 2D net

...or is that refracted reflections?

Direct view below -- in the first comment.

 

I know my pictures are of pretty mundane subjects -- no mountains, deserts, canyons or wild seascapes, or riots etc. So when I do catch something unusual, I get pretty excited.

 

Yes, there are plenty of Sun Pillars on flickr, but are there any other refractions of sun pillars? -- Someone will probably come up with one --- but probably not too many.

 

So here is my most unusual picture. (Although I didn't know it when taking.)

There is a direct view of the sun pillar in the first comment, below.)

(Sorry for another refraction so soon, but the last one was posted in error.)

This is for Queensy. Thank you so much for the wonderful testimonial. You are the best! =)

This was my 1st try at refractions. Not perfect but I still liked it. ;)

Flower trapped in the water droplets.

This is a photo of refraction patterns in shallow water on the shore of Pembroke Beach.

This is a close-up B&W HDR photo of morning sunlight refracted through water in a wine glass onto the kitchen counter top. After transferring this photo to the computer, I was surprised to see that the shape of the shadow, and the pattern of light seem to portray the orgasmic energies of the body.

Refraction patterns in shallow seawater at Clam Harbour Beach.

Happy Web Wednesday/Arachtober have a great day folks ;0)

Xmas refraction in glasses filled with water. Strobe : 1/8 through softbox on left side triggered by cactus. White reflector on right. Light blocker between the softbox and glasses to stop reflects.

This is a photo that I took while canoeing on the river of the sunlight refracted on a submerged rock.

Why Astronomical Refraction for a title? The sun is already completely below the horizon by the time it appears to just touch the horizon. The dark clouds that you see across the face of the sun are most likely below the horizon too. This is Astronomical Refraction or the bending of light as it passes a greater distance through the earth's atmosphere when the sun is low in the sky.

This picture of a Sunset at Ocean Shores, Washington has been altered to black out the hazy muddy looking sky and adjusted to bring out the details of the water.

Candid eye contact street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. I just love the shadow and light refraction through her glasses in the early summer sunlight. Enjoy!

A re-attempt at a long exposure at a motorway bridge with my new camera, the quality is much better and its so much easier with a shutter up to thirty seconds.

Dahlia dewdrop refraction. Focus stacked using zerene

When black cats prowl, and pumpkins gleam, may luck be yours on Halloween!

This is a photo of sunlight refracting through ripple patterns in a shallow stream that flows across Clam Harbour Beach.

Another attempt at refraction. Water drops on a blade of grass, The water drop acting as a small lens refracting the flower behind it. Refraction is a natural phenomenon and no photoshop is used. A heavy crop from a larger file.

Mix three parts bright sunlight on rocks in two feet of quarry water. Add one part wind to make a random lens of the water's surface. Stir in a pinch of reflected sky for contrast. Call it what you will.

Dessert, anyone?

loved the angular shapes and the deep cobalt colours in Cobalt Couple, with the silhouettes giving the scale and human element

It was a very difficult droplet to do, wish it was a little more rounded.
