Trip to the Library

For this experiment we were supposed to document 50 things about a trip to the library. I decided to use photography as my medium and to highlight certain things that one would not notice on any normal day to the library. We are so busy in our lives that most of us never really take the time to "stop and smell the roses". Therefore I took pictures of things that captured my attention once I slowed down enough to take in my surroundings....enjoy!

Exploration 3: Light

Collect objects based on how they reflect light. List the different qualities, such as reflective, translucent, refracting, mottled, etc. (Try to collect thirty objects).

For this experiment I collected some of the many objects in my room (pictured).


Poster of a white tiger


White, glossy radiator


Bedroom mirror


Window


Mosaic glass pane

What I noticed:
This experiment works better in the day so that you can see how the different objects naturally reflect light.
Also, my blackberry camera phone sucks for taking pictures....must invest in a proper camera.
I had to research the qualities of light....*embarassed*

But anyways. here goes:
transparent: see through
translucent: some light can travel through
opaque: no light can travel through
mottled: marked with spots or patches of many colours or shades
reflective: capable of physically reflecting light
refracting: deflect (light, for example) from a straight path by refraction
