Many of you know that I love reflections in photography but only few of you know that I love refraction in photography to the same extent. To take refraction photographs we need to find an object that produces refraction. What can this be? For example, it may be a tiny rain drop. It fulfills all the conditions necessary to produce the phenomenon of refraction: it is spherical, it is transparent andit’s denser in mass than air.
I stop here with the technical details. Important is that I managed to get a shadow refracted in a raindrop and I want to share it with the Wednesday Shadow Challenge.

Amazing picture. I love taking pictures of water drops too.
technically, that’s a reflection of a shadow…
Water droplets refract light. They are spherical so will work in a similar way to a glass ball. In my photo, the shadow was behind the drop. Normally, in reflections, the subject is in front of the reflecting surface.
so if you know all that, you understand my technical stance…
Not surprising coming from you anything is possible. Well done.
Amazing photos. Yes, I can see the shadow.
Thank you! I was very, very lucky to find this drop!
Wow!
That is really amazing!!
I see that shadow!!
I was excited when I noticed the shadow in the photo!
You are amazing. I do see the shadow inside the tiny droplet. Stunning!
Thank you, Carol! I was very happy to take such a picture.
