Anyone in Adelaide would instantly recognize this building as the SAHMRI. It's been shot to death and I've really avoided it until now. I ride past it everyday to work contemplating it's unique architecture and looking for the angles not yet (well to my eyes) exposed.
Looking up inside a building near the ‘National Stadium’ sky train stop, a series of escalators rise to the upper floors, over looking a space that has walls lined with prisms. Unlike in the west, most high rise buildings are open to the general public in central Bangkok, and one can happily follow the crowds moving around between these buildings to investigate the places and spaces that many city dwellers travel through frequently, following halls and passageways of air-conditioned ease.

For today's photo I decided to try a spot of indoor light painting. Using a round light, set to strobe which was rolled behind the prism, set on a sheet of black acrylic.

Another day, another mystery! This snowflake fell yesterday during what is likely the last great storm of the season, and it has a center that draws you right in. View large!
Most of the surface features of this snowflake are on the side opposite the camera, so they appear somewhat softer and faded, smoothing out some of the details. Other features are internal (bubbles in the ice) which appear brighter to the camera because there are multiple surfaces of ice to reflect light back. Shimmers of colour jump out from over-exposed prisms and surface contours that bend light in interesting ways. But the most interesting part? The circle in the center.
Circles in snowflakes are something I have seen many times before, but never like this. Normally they are a result of inward crystal growth (here’s a great explanation: skycrystals.ca/pages/circles-in-the-snow.jpg ), which results in a smooth edge that continually grows inward towards the center of the snowflake. This patterns like the oval shape seen on the interior of the upper-right branch, and the curve inside the left-most branch. I have never seen a circle in the snow show up with bright edges before – this is something completely new for me.
The only theory I can think of is a sharp edge to the circle. Normally the circles have smooth contours, resulting in gradual-yet-defined shift in brightness under the right lighting conditions. In comparison, there are many points around the outer edges of the snowflake that reveal bright lines where the sharp edge of the crystal is bending light back to the camera. It could be that the circle in the center has a hard edge, though this is still hard to believe. If that were the case, we might see a gradual shift in how light interacts from one edge of the circle to the other, much like we see in the branches. It’s a strange one!
All of the other lines in the center are caused by bubbles trapped in the ice, and this could also be the cause, but this scenario wouldn’t explain the darker areas around the circle which definitely indicate a shift in surface thickness. I’m not a physicist or a scientist in any way, so I can only approach these mysteries with what I’ve already observed and understood in other snowflakes. No matter how many crystals I look at, there are always new surprises!
I’ve solved many of these mysteries and explained them in my book Sky Crystals: Unraveling the Mysteries of Snowflakes: skycrystals.ca/book/ - 304pg hardcover book that becomes even more enjoyable when winter is nowhere to be seen. :)
My work with snowflakes has culminated in “The Snowflake” print which I’m quite happy with: skycrystals.ca/poster/ - check it out if you’re curious what 2500 hours’ worth of work on the subject can create!
Esse bonito faz parte da coleção Prismatic Chroma Glitters da China Glaze.
Quando vi o release me apaixonei por todos loucamente, mas quando vi os swatches fiquei meio decepcionada....sei lá!
Mas no final das contas o Prism é lindo...repleto de glitter coloridinho numa base meio lilás e ainda tem um efeito duo chrome bem legal...pena que não consegui captar.
Gostei bastante =D
This morning, while I was taking my usual walk, I looked up, closed the diaphragm of the lens and captured this beautiful winter image of bare branches of trees that are beginning to have their first buds, announcing spring.
There were also clouds and the Sun backlit.
Once at home, when I transferred the photos to the computer I realized that the clouds acted as a kind of optical prism giving a color to part of the clouds that my eyes did not capture.
The rest is a bit of post-production work to highlight contrasts and colors.

LO QUE EL OJO HUMANO NO CAPTA, 2024
Esta mañana, mientras daba el paseo de costumbre miré hacia arriba, cerré el diafragma de la lente y capté esta hermosa imagen invernal de ramas desnudas de árboles que empiezan a tener sus primeros brotes, anunciando la primavera.
También había nubes y el Sol a contraluz.
Ya en casa, cuando pasé las fotos al ordenador me di cuenta que las nubes actuaban como una especie de prisma óptico dando un color a parte de las nubes que mis ojos no captaron.
El resto es un poco de trabajo de postproducción para resaltar contrastes y colores.
