Water Droplet Refraction
Today, we're going to introduce some physics into our lesson. Specifically, we will explore spherical refraction. This is the phenomenon whereby a spherical lens (in this case a water droplet) will turn whatever is behind it upside-down.
WE WILL NEED TO FIND A PLANT TO COMPLETE THIS ASSIGNMENT.
Water Droplet Refraction Assignment
Your job is to photograph a water droplet dangling from a plant leaf. If done adeptly, you will notice that whatever is in the background behind the droplet will turn upside down!
You will need a spray bottle, or a eyedropper with water, as well as your camera!
Your goal is to take a photo where we can see the water droplet so clearly that an upside-down refraction of what is behind it is clearly visible. Take your time and shoot lots!
You may crop your images in Photoshop to help with composition.
At the end, you will hand in TWO of (your best) images.
Use Darktable.org or Lightroom to enhance your images. (Adjust contrast/highlight and Vibrance)
Submit your best images (include a caption or title for each image).
