Abstract Surface Tension

How did you keep your image out of the reflective spheres?

Cheers,
Loyd

The waterdrops are not reflective but refractive. They work like microlenses and show the scene in front of the camera like a wide angle lens.

So there are images behind the drops that are passing through to the camera? Is this what you mean?

Hallo Loyd,

maybe we have a misunderstanding because I am not a native speaker ans misinterpreted you initial question "How did you keep your image out of the reflective spheres?" and I have choosen the wrong English words.

I thought you meant that you miss the reflection in the spheres like they would be seen e. g. when you take a photo of christmas tree balls. These are reflective and it is not avoidable that the imaging camera is visible in the balls like in a mirror.

Here we have an image of tiny water drops clinging to a spiders web. The are not reflective but transparent and show the landscape behind the web. The drops are refractive and behave like extreme wide angle lenses.

Cheers
Pete

Thanks for the explanation. I understand you perfectly, so your English is just fine. I wish that I could speak German!

Do you think that the image behind the drops is inverted? I think not, because it looks like a landscape with the sun shining in the upper left corner, which seems normal. It is wonderful how the macro lens kept so many refracted images in focus. Can you recall the surface area covered by the photo?

Cheers,
Loyd
