Ant Life

If you were an ant wandering around early on the monring in the Cowichan Valley you might see this optical illusion. Not an illusion really. An example of "refraction" of light through a dew drop. Most people think this effect is a "reflection" but it is not. Reflection is when light bounces off something. Refraction is when light is passing through and being bent. That is what you are seeing in dewdrop shots.
