Water Refractions – Let’s Play!

Refraction photography is so exciting!!

This is where you see (in focus) the background crazy sharp in water. (Tip: you can use glycerine too).

Today I want to share with you how to play with a variety of ways of photographing water refractions, so let’s get to it…

In the video below, I show you how to use glycerin to make fun refractions. The stack video I talk about is here. 🙂

The video below is a fun way to make waterdrops creative.

I’m sure you’ve seen beautiful drops that look like mushrooms, but you need a unique mechanism for that, so if you don’t have something like a Miops Splash water drop kit, then try this…

And for the last video, I’d like to share a behind-the-scenes of me photographing a flower refraction. You can do this outside or indoors.
