#Stunday With #Fascinating #Nature And #Physics #Reflections And #Refraction Point And Axis Reflection By Former #Snow #WinterVibes And #SpringVibes #Macrophotography #EastCoastKin #abstract #abstractArt #PhotographyIsArt #BlueskyArtShow #chive

Fresh chive shoots and dandelion leaves, some partially covered in snow, are thriving in a balcony planter. The snow on the shoots has melted into droplets, some of which are in focus. Within these droplets, point reflections of the neighboring shoots is visible.

The completely blurred background is dominated by a large, snow-covered birch tree and a white sky.

A chive shoot, covered in droplets that show point reflections of the background, stands out against a nearly black metal border that is just drying and partially covered with yellow-green lichens. Two neighboring shoots are also partially visible. The photograph resembles a mixture of abstract and photorealistic painting.

As the sun slowly climbed higher, the mist began to settle. What once floated invisibly through the air became droplets — tiny beads of water forming along the delicate threads of spiderwebs.

And then the light found them.

Each droplet acted like a miniature lens, bending and reflecting the morning light. This is refraction at work: light changing direction as it passes through water, turning simple dew into a constellation of bright points. What is nearly invisible in shadow becomes suddenly radiant under the right angle of light.

For a brief moment, the forest revealed a hidden structure — geometry spun overnight, now outlined in light.

Same place, same camera, same settings. Just a little later in time… and an entirely different world.

$A wet CD, placed under a glass cylinder, was illuminated at night with white LED light. The CD's surface refracted the light, causing it to appear in rainbow colours. The glass cylinder also reflected these colours. The resulting shape resembles a combination of a cornucopia and a joint. The image was only cropped and not further edited.$

$A tall carafe filled with water sits on a restaurant table with wood grain. Through the water we can see a refracted image of a small four-sided glass tumbler sitting directly behind the carafe; the tumbler’s sides glow with a warm yellow light, illuminated by an electric candle inside. The tumbler appears to float inside the carafe, levitating above the table. A blurred drinking glass can be seen farther away on the table, and the rest of the background is in cool blue-toned shadow.$

A multi-layered, roughly tipi-shaped spiderweb, its outer layers covered in snow, was illuminated with a green laser. It is evident that the snow is melting, as some drops have already formed.

The same spiderweb one day later. This time, a different section, illuminated with blue light, is visible, and this one is covered with raindrops.

Glendalough in a Drop. Spotted an opportunity for something different here on a rather damp day at Glendalough. That place is just so magical!

$A close-up, eye-level shot of a dark tree branch stretching horizontally across the top of the frame. The bark is textured and covered in patches of pale green lichen. A single, clear water droplet hangs from the centre of the branch, refracting a tiny, inverted image of the landscape. The background is a soft, out-of-focus view of a V-shaped valley with a lake reflecting the grey sky and russet-coloured mountains.$

(Beer) Glass 🍺 for #fotovorschlag "Objekte, die mit "G" beginnen oder so aussehen" / "Objects beginning with "G" or looking like it"

I'm not doing too great again, (it's grand honestly, just ✨chronic illness✨ stuff), and I'm running out of "good" photos so you're going to be getting the bad photos or reposts as I've run out of material. 😂
However, if anyone has any ideas of fun photos that you can do at home (with not too much extertion) I would be really grateful! Thank you! 🫂♥️✨

The photo is of a distorted reflection of a street scene with a person on a bike, as seen through a glass of beer.
The reflection has a grand, yellow building facade with a colonnade. On the street, blurred figures (it's just one person reflected a few times) on a bike are visible.The reflections are warped and fragmented due to the curvature and thickness of the glass.

GN fam! A calving glacier made of safety glass on a window pane in an open container at night #WinterVibes Fascinating #physics: #reflections, #refraction #ALText: #strongerTogether, #inclusion:) #abstractArt #minimalism #EastCoastKin #PhotographyIsArt #JanuArty2026 #ArtYear #PhotographersofBluesky

Three characteristically shaped shards have broken off from a large piece of safety glass. The safety glass rests on dew-covered window glass, which reflects the night sky. The container holding the glass waste is illuminated by white LED light. The safety glass vaguely resembles ice, the individual shards icebergs, and the droplet-covered black glass plate a body of water.

A large glass sphere was placed on a small glass pedestal on freshly fallen snow at night. A reflector was positioned behind the sphere, and a much smaller glass sphere in front of it. The entire setup was illuminated with white LED light. The reflector is subjected to a distorted point reflection from both spheres. The reflection from the smaller sphere resembles a snake's head.

$The same reflector was placed on a CD, and the small glass sphere was placed on top of the CD. A glass cylinder without a base was placed on the CD and reflector. The whole assembly was illuminated with white LED light, and due to the refraction of light caused by the CD, many spectral colours appeared. The cylinder reflects the reflector in a distorted way.$

Yep there is, @soph0517.bsky.social‬ and thank you for sharing this great take! Faszinating #physics: #reflections, #refraction and surface tension of the #rainDrops #AlphabetChallenge #WeekAforAbstract #EastCoastKin #macro #MacroPhotography

Several raindrops lie on the back of a green oak leaf lying on the ground. They reflect their surroundings, a forest path, and act like magnifying glasses.

@indigosan.bsky.social‬ shared a stunning capture and used #ALText, because #inclusion is #fairness: Thank you so much! Playing with frozen stuff in front of my house :) #MacroPhotography #abstractArt #PhotographyIsArt Fascinating #physics: point #reflection and #refraction

I illuminated a block of ice at night with blue light and placed a small glass sphere (diameter about 3 cm) in front of it, which created a point reflection.

$A round piece of ice, resting on top of a black shard of glass, is illuminated from the side by the sun. Countless tiny bubbles rise very slowly within the ice, leaving traces of their movement. The bubbles reflect the shard and the light. Some bubbles shimmer with spectral colours due to refraction. A tiny, light green piece of moss, frozen to the lower part of the piece of ice, and its reflection can be seen on the left of the image. The ice piece is reflected, partially distorted, in the black glass that is covered with a thin film of ice and water. A narrow ridge at the edge of the ice reflects the blue of the sky.$

zu saitenweise hab ich nichts, dann nehm' ich eben was mit tröpfchen, das bild ist von gestern

nahaufnahme, makro. unter einem mit grobem fasermaterial, sisal oder so, umwickelten teil stehen einzelne dieser fasern etwas ab und an denen haben sich wassertröpfchen gebildet oder gesammelt. sie leuchten im diffusen gegenlicht eines bewölkten himmels, in ihnen spiegelt sich kopfstehend die welt, die hier aus beige-grüner wiese und grellhellgrauem himmel besteht. nur der vorderste und zugleich unterste und größte der wassertropfen ist ganz scharf abgebildet, die anderen zunehmend unscharf. der hintergrund aus dem beige-grün der wiese ist sehr unscharf, wolkig, struktur nur noch zu erahnen.

Atmospheric refraction, due to the different temperature/altitude profile in the atmosphere at different times of day...makes distant mountains appear taller or shorter.

The attached photo is a comparison of what I shot yesterday afternoon and this morning. The camera was set up within inches of the same location for both shots, and those mountains are between 50 and 120 miles away...so I'm saying that any parallax effect from camera location is essentially zero.

I have annotated with arrows where it's easy to make a comparison of how the near and far ridge lines overlap differently in the two photos.

Imagine the care that was needed to conduct surveys before the GPS/GNSS era:
https://explorersweb.com/the-five-men-who-measured-mount-everest/

"The Great Theodolite built by Troughton & Simms in London stood nearly 1.5m high, had a horizontal circle one meter in diameter, and could read angles to a single second of arc. Moving it required 30 porters and sometimes elephants."

"The reduction of Nicolson’s observations was a colossal task. Each ray from each station had to be corrected for instrumental error, for temperature and pressure, and for the curvature of the Earth. Above all, they needed to correct for atmospheric refraction, which at those distances could amount to six or seven minutes of arc and change from hour to hour."
