The technique uses a little bit of simple science. When a curved glass is filled with water it becomes a basic lens and will reverse anything seen through it. Which means if you place it in front of an object, the image seen through the water will the backwards to the real world. When that object is a bold, graphic background you have the potential for some amazing photos.
