Caustic Refractions in swimming pool
Pure caustic refractions on the bottom of a swimming pool caused by the sun passing through the rippling surface of water. The picture was made underwater to avoid surface reflections confusing the caustic refractions. In optics, a caustic or caustic network is the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved surface or object, or the projection of that envelope of rays on another surface. These curved surfaces act like assymetric lenses focussing the light rays into constantly changing patterns

Blue Caustic Caustics Light Pool Reflection Refraction Ripples Swimming Pool
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Caustic Refractions in swimming pool" showcases the mesmerizing beauty of pure caustic refractions on the bottom of a swimming pool. The image captures the enchanting effect created when sunlight passes through the rippling surface of water, resulting in an intricate display of light patterns. To ensure utmost clarity and eliminate any surface reflections that could obscure the caustic refractions, this picture was taken underwater. By immersing themselves beneath the water's surface, the photographer successfully captured these ethereal phenomena without any distractions. In optics, a caustic or caustic network refers to the envelope formed by light rays reflected or refracted by curved surfaces or objects. In this case, it is as if these curved surfaces act like asymmetric lenses, focusing and redirecting light rays into ever-changing patterns. The overall composition exudes tranquility with its serene blue hues and gentle ripples that add depth to the scene. The interplay between white light and its dispersion creates a visually stunning spectacle that evokes wonder and awe. This remarkable photograph not only highlights nature's ability to create breathtaking visual spectacles but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and exploration within scientific realms.
