Hi, Here is another refraction scene I made recently, its a horizontal refrection shot done in a glass container for the reflection and water tension. I have flipped the image upside down and played with the edit to make the water reflection like the original image, edit was more free and...

Hi, I used clear packing sticky tape which i taped between 2 glasses and then sprayed the tape with a fine mist spray bottle, underneath the tape I placed an orange gerbera, lit the flower with a small LED light and shot this. Shooting with tape was a good experience but I prefer glass as it...

Hi, This is a shoot i did about 2 months ago. The tendril is held over a glass bowl with water to create the water reflection in the bottom of the photo. Lighting is applied to the flower only, darkened room. I have edited with a few tricks (like boosting the water reflection). My next step for...

This is a short article for anyone who is interested in using refraction techniques in their macro; I use both droplets and bubbles for my refraction abstracts. Refraction can be done horizontally like in this picture: or vertically like this: *The picture above was my first successful...
