A quick post today, returning to having fun with refractography and playing more with colors. This time, a special Year 2000 champagne glass provided the refractive tool. It really is pretty cool to make these patterns solely out of rays of light right in front of you in a dark room. It's kind of like the old-fashioned photography when images showed up on paper in a darkroom. Only here, no paper and no chemicals.
