WHAT IS REFRACTION PHOTOGRAPHY?
Refraction happens when light passes through an object of denser mass, such as
water or glass.
When light is refracted through a sphere, the image becomes inverted (upside
down). Try moving the camera and/or moving the Photo Effects Ball to capture
the perfect image.
