Light observation 26

Today I started messing around with a flashlight in the dark. I put the flashlight under my hand and was able to see my hand basically light up. It made me think about how light works its way through the skin and muscle, and light up on the other side.

Sitting in class looking around for things to write for light journals, I started to realize the way light is reflected differently off of glossy surfaces compared to the wall or dull surfaces.

I noticed that the light is more reflected off of glossy surfaces, making a white light reflection.  When the light hits the wall, it isn't really reflected as much, but more so just puts an amber color up against the wall.

Last night I woke up in the middle of the night. I turned on my side table light because I was getting up to get a drink. The way the light was angled, it was very very bright. I turned the head of the lamp toward the corner of my room, and it knocked the light level down, but the reflections off of my walls still made it very easy for me to see my way around and not step on any cats

Today I picked up my watch, put it on, and started seeing how the angle of light effected how well I can see the time. In fluorescent light, pretty much no matter which way i turned the watch, I was able to somewhat read what time it is. In incandescent light however, When my watch was turned approx. 90 degrees from the light source, it was blacked out.

Today while looking at the way light reflects of different surfaces, i started to recognize a pattern in what color the reflection is of certain colors. When the light is reflecting off a black surface, glossy or flat black, the light is a white color. When being reflected off silver surfaces, its was more of an amber/ yellow color.

Today I bought a new pair of plugs for my ears. The color is this nice dark olive green, and green is one of my favorite colors. The second I walked outside and got in my car, I looked in the mirror, and noticed the color had completely changed. The green became more tan/brown, and when the light hits its just right, a nice copper color sticks out, and the plugs become almost see through.

Today I was burning a candle. When the room is dark the reflection of the candle light off the wall is a nice amber color. As the reflection moves closer to the light source the light begins to turn white.
