This is a close-up photo of sunlight refracting through water patterns in a shallow stream flowing across Clam Harbour Beach.

This is a close-up photo of sunlight refracting through wind swept ripples in the current of a stream at Clam Harbour Beach.

It was Raining when I left this morning,and yes, I got soaked,like, like this Green Grass.

This is a photo of one corner of a plastic container that I positioned in front of the corner of the kitchen cupboard to create this abstract composition featuring a tonal polarity of light and dark, and the translucent chevron shape of refracted light.

i spotted this refraction of light

This is a close-up photo of bottles on a shelf in a used clothing store refracted through the patterned texture of a plastic vase.

I have a lot on my mind at the moment...

This is my first SP using my glass ball! I've had some computer issues and haven't had access to my Coffeeshop actions so it's lovely to use them again.

Colors on my laptop screen refracted through a wine glass stem.

Refractions.

Luckily for my living room's sunset reputation we were also able to display the effects of atmospheric refraction, to a much more favorable display and review.

As we look thru much heavier air at the horizon, Snell's Law (which describes how light bends when it passes between media with different refractive indices) takes over.

So temperature, pressure and humidity all combine to make some pretty incredible, distorted shape-shifting capabilities.

The visual splendor of sunlight reflecting and refracting in the undulations of clear, shallow sea water at Clam Harbour Beach.

Indoor refractive abstract photography using window light and found objects. Helios 44.3 with a reverse lens attachment. Only glass was used in the refractions set, metallics are illusions.

first few images processed from tonights session , combined refraction through waterdroplets with collisions.

used the welsh flag as back ground and water in the valve and vessel , no additives

This is a close-up photo of light refracting through the wind blown water in a tidal pool at Port Maitland Beach.

Please view large! There is a whole bunch of flowers visible in the water drops.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Still playing around with the new lens. Best viewed large.

Rain droplet refractions.

Taken some years ago as l was passing some flats.

I posted a series of this session about a year ago, but didn't use this one. So in a rather uninspired spell, here it is.

The background for this shot was a pink chrysanthemum.

Another old CDROM is put to work as a wet mirror, producing, of course, refractions of reflections of an African Daisy or Osteospernum

Water droplets on a glass plate six inches above the flower to give a refracted image in each droplet.

Just for fun till the sun comes out :-)

Four years ago during a very cold spell I set up the tripod just outside my front door and photographed some frozen bubbles on the porch railing. It's kind of amazing to see the crystal shapes forming, gliding across the surface of the bubble and then freezing. For the most part I photographed entire bubbles, but I did get closer with the macro lens to go fully into pattern and abstraction. Beauty for its own sake. It's a worthwhile pursuit: it feeds the heart as well as the mind.

I wouldn't recommend using f/36 under most circumstances, but focusing very closely with a 105mm macro + 1.7x teleconverter meant extremely shallow DOF - a few mm at most. And of course I was working with a curved, not flat, surface. So... I was willing to put up with a slight loss of sharpness for the extra depth of field.

This shot begins a new image set: four photos of ice in winter. To be followed by revisiting my years on the coast of Vancouver Island, where water flows year round.

A trick of the light. Two pieces of coloured card were placed against the wall, camera set on a tripod and the glass moved back an forth until the water refracted the colours in the viewfinder.

Refraction tabletop photography, window light used a Yashica AF 35-70 Macro lens with a Fotodiox Pro Nikon converter. Glass stopper and colored glass bead necklace, NO selective desaturation.

Tear down, refit, repair and replace. The parts that refuse to fit anymore leave behind and look forward. What falls off is of no need anymore anyway. Upgrades are tough and arduous but necessary.

No photoshop trickery as usual, photo is a single image straight out of the camera with B&W conversion .

Thanks for taking a look at my work, appreciate you all!.

One of last week's MM rejects.

Using reverse lens technique.

Half-full glass of water, in front of a black and white backgroud in which the refraction produces the result of the image.

This was a tedious shoot, and it taught me how to be very patient and zen 😁. The water droplets were carefully placed on a piece of thread and it was photo-stacked to make sure all the droplets were as sharp as possible. Over all it was a fun experiment! The setup shot is in the description below.

Have a great new week my friends!
