Driving through the scenic route instead of using the freeway allowed cutting in through some densely forested areas. Even the 11am light spilling into these areas was perfect for product photography. Wasn't too faint, neither was it too harsh. The surrounding canopy is a good reminder of how fragile everything is and how the thin layer of the earth's atmosphere protects everything from the harmful rays of the sun.
When the Asia Outdoor Advertising exhibition was held weeks back at the Suntec Convention Hall, I popped by for a sneak. Probably the most eye-candy product to be displayed is the Stage Pod – a 4m x 4m black box with a screen that plays very live-like 3D motion images.
Finally... an industry standard that people can buy off the shelf for product demos, events and such. The first time I saw such a thing was in '83 in a happy place called Disneyland, on a ride called The Haunted Mansion. All of you who have gone on that ride know that there is a huge grand dining hall where ghosts seem to be flying aimlessly and chomping down food. Although that ride was made in 1969, sources traced back the idea to John Pepper in 1862. Thus, came about the name, Pepper's Ghost Effect. It was used mainly during the turn of the century for theatrical purposes.
So... when can I use one of these things? ;p
Two weeks back, when the sun was still out during the mornings, I took several shots of the stained glass at Holy Family as it was too beautiful not to capture it to share. The colourful images cast on the wall looked familiar yet different. The only explanation I immediately thought of was that the light travelling from the sun through the glass and onto the wall runs parallel to the ground. This happens only around 7am. Most of the parishioners here would have only experienced light projected downwards at an angle from a higher elevation, because of the Sunday mass time slots. Since you're stopping by my blog, enjoy the light!
Some of us may be familiar with this sight.
Look at the light projected on the wall... from a different angle.
The projected image appears clear and sharp - a good reminder of how I should reflect my Creator's Light.
The light reflected off the glass panel together with its original source forms an image of a butterfly.
