This is a photo of sunlight refracting through shallow water onto the the sand patterns at Clam Harbour Beach.
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.
