Rainbows: Do Not Tumble Dry
Taming Light #31
After gently washing in rainwater all rainbows should be laid flat to dry. Tumble drying can cause the light rays to filamentise and the colours to mix; frayed ends and tangling are common.
This is another one of my refraction patterns where I've managed to get the light beam to form coloured threads of pure light.
For new viewers: These are light refraction patterns or 'caustics' formed by a light beam passing through a shaped and textured plastic form. The pattern is captured directly on to 35mm film by removing the camera lens and putting the transparent object in its place. The processed film is digitally scanned for uploading. Please note these are not computer generated images but a true analogue of the way light is refracted by the objects I create.
