No CG, just light, materials and a 35mm film frame.

For new viewers: these 'Refractographs' are analogue images of the refraction patterns of a beam of light passing through various transparent objects (in this case a piece of textured glass). The image is captured directly on to 35mm film, no camera lens is used ( this is a photogram using film instead of photographic paper), the transparent object replaces the lens. Colour is introduced by placing specially prepared coloured filters directly in the light beam. This is an analogue image and has not been computer generated or colour treated. The colours you see are a faithful reproduction of those captured on film.


Clicky

:shock:

Very impressive. I particularly liked Silken Light, beautiful colours.

I wonder if you could replicate this with digital? I'm not sure I'd dare flick up the mirror without a lens infront of it though! Sensor dust anyone :lol:

Is it just me or do these look rather like Fractal Flames (from the likes of Oxidizer/Electric Sheep).

Impressive all the same though.

I've been eyeing it up in the for sale thread (I think). The missus would kill me though.
