Ice can bend light, as every late-night part-time alcoholic no doubt will have noticed. So why has nobody ever thought of making a photographic lens out of ice? 

Hah, of course somone has – and Peter McMahon is just the person to show us, through the exploits of experimental photographer Matthew Wheeler. Between them, they made this video tutorial. It’s simple, but it’s inspired, and I love the idea of using water as a photographic lens.
