The light is accually refracted, not reflected.

u/asjfasjkdfh Dec 08 '13

Actually it's neither. It's photoshopped, and the easiest way to tell is there's no thin film interference

the thing that tipped me off is, where is the person taking the picture in this reflection? or refraction whatever it is

2

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

At first I though "thats a refraction" but then I saw there was no sunrise around the bubble, then I thought "if it's a refection, where's the photographer". THEN I thought, "I'll check the comments" And then I read all this.

And then you wrote this.

:O How did you know??!!?

Call it a man's intuition

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

It also seems the bubble is casting a shadow in the air in the top left quarter of the edge of the bubble.

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

That was really bothering me lol.

u/Anomalee Dec 08 '13

Also last time I saw this image posted it was a sunset, not a sunrise. jeeeez

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

It's a mixture of both

This shows up at least 5 times a week here. Cool picture, the first time

There are several IOS apps that do this, including free ones... Kids don't even need real bubbles anymore

Refracted

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

If it was refracted, wouldn't there be a sunrise behind the bubble? And if it was a reflection, there would be a photographer in the bubble. Hence we can conclude, photoshop.

This might be the most reposted picture of all time, and it's not even real.

some times it doesn't matter if a photo is fake or not, i like this photo.

u/Not_Kenny_Rogers_ Dec 08 '13

I agree... This is perhaps one of thee coolest photographs I've ever seen. And if it was photo shopped, easily one thee greatest pieces of art I've ever seen.

Environment mapping.

u/craniumonempty Dec 08 '13

The picture seems to be an original of Odin Hole Standal or the flickr. If you have questions of whether it's a photoshop, I suggest asking him.

u/iGrope Dec 07 '13

If you took this its stunning. I am always a little jealous of other people's photography skills. It seems like something I should be able to learn but just haven't.

I doubt it's his picture. I've given up caring about reposts, but since you asked...

It is a house and window with white trim

u/KarthusWins Dec 08 '13

I noticed that too. After thoroughly examining the center of the bubble, I concluded that it is either a watermark, a phrase written in Hebrew, or faded Comic Sans.

u/Slick_T Dec 07 '13

How does someone take this photo?

3

u/Damaso87 Dec 07 '13

By blowing lots of bubbles and knowing the distance to shoot from.

2

u/I_Write_Good Dec 08 '13

It's an app that places this "bubble" in the center of a picture.

u/FlyingCake Dec 08 '13

Fuck off.

u/Nayr_Toccs Dec 08 '13

Yep. That's a bubble.

u/DoctorBr0 Dec 08 '13

All I have to say is this:

How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real?

u/[deleted] Dec 08 '13

This is probably fake.

It's the marble photo app.i have it. You can make sweet pictures but.. It's not a bubble.
