Inspiring Photo: - Bending Light

- Bending Light -

Uploaded: January 15, 2008 15:10:50

Description

I was taking macro shots of the reflected light on a music CD and it was kind of cool to see how the rays of color would change and move as I selected different points to focus on. The light would bend and move up and down the CD as I did this. This is one of the images I came up with.

Exif: F Number: 2.8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/1 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 30D
