Default Nuts and bolts homework - chapter 2

These were all taken in the summer, when the light was good and I was just beginning to notice what happens to it ~ if you click the pictures it will show you the original size.

Look closely in these droplets for reflections


In this one you can see how the lines of the leaf are distorted by the droplets


The window bends the scene as it reflects it.


Classic Light Bending..!

This was taken by my 12yo son, who will be doing the course too ~ He's pretty good!

Again, you can see the stem of the bramble behind the icicle and how it is magnified and distorted.

Hi Caroline, I enjoyed watching this set and especially your first shot with the droplets on the glass. TFS
