Ice Breakers (Explored)
More like Nuclear Ice Breakers. (Those are a real thing by the way, large vessels powered by nuclear reactors and used to clear paths in frozen seas. But that is not what this is).
This weeks Macro Mondays theme is Candy.
This is a pic of an Ice Breakers mint, sitting on a pile of crushed mints. The unusual look of the image has to do with the lighting. The image is lit with a single ultraviolet light source. Ultraviolet light is commonly referred to as black light. UV light causes many substances to fluoresce, and it appears that the ingredients of these mints fall into that group.
This image has not been heavily manipulated. Only normal adjustments have been made in Lightroom.
Fluorescence occurs when a substance absorbs the ultraviolet light and uses that energy to produce light that falls into our visual spectrum. It is quite fun to see what items fluoresce like this. I occasionally walk around the house at night shining my UV light on various items to see if they react.
HMM.
