*Ever wondered how cameras capture a moment?
By now you might have guessed, but they use
refraction. When you click the shutter, an image is
refracted on to a light-sensitive surface, giving a
snapshot of your birthday party. Manipulating
refraction and the speed of light creates some very
interesting shots.

Due to the way light refracts through the glass and
water, a unique effect of looking slightly lifted and
bigger happens. Try it at home!
