Isn't refraction (light passing through a material) different than reflection (light bouncing off a material)? Seems more like reflection in the photos, but then the light was refracted in the camera lens so, never mind. :)

It's not bad for a pocket camera. ;)

I think technically you're right Wes (although the light is passing through the windows). Really, I just like the word refraction and never figured I would get the chance to use it on DRN. :whoa:

A little easier to carry around day to day than the big rig? :)

When I'm working it's the only way I can carry a camera. The good part is because the little camera is limited it makes me think more before I shoot (always a good thing for me). The other thing I've noticed is I tend to look at things differently when I have a camera with me (even just the little one), and notice things I might have otherwise missed. Maybe it will help me develop a better eye for "the shot". Either way it seems less like work when I have a camera along. :)
