I thought this image is quite interesting and illustrates a useful property of light that can be used to good effect in photographs. You s...

Considerations for Diffuse Reflection Spectroscopy

dearest odyssians, the full moon is upon us. and the universe has moved into amazing positions once again to herald the day of our birth which first occurred many revolutions around our sun and man…

Light reflects from a smooth surface at the same angle as it hits the surface. For a smooth surface, reflected light rays travel in the same direction. This is called specular reflection. For a rough surface, reflected light rays scatter in all directions. This is called diffuse reflection.

A simple explanation of how mirrors catch light and throw it back.

Lumus Instruments on Instagram: "‘Reflecting Bodies’ by @simonesmelt invites to witness an interplay of light, material and reflection. A second iteration of this artwork will be presented at the exhibition OF NOW at @monopolberlin. The light reflected on the polished sharp and geometrical surfaces of the aluminum volumes, creates fluid shatterings and shapes, diffusing the rays of light in multiple directions. The interplay of reflection and shadow becomes an ever-shifting landscape of…
