1/2/05 - Primary Colors

Another black light experiment. This one was done in the same manner as the 4th of July PAD http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/30919721 (shooting through glass covered with beads of water using the auto windshield treatment product called Rain-X to get the water to bead instead of just forming ill-formed globs). The "target" about 2 feet below the glass is three CDs each with a fluorescent object in its center which, under the black light, is reflected in the CD giving the three circular colored shapes (which are then reflected in each of the beads of water - they are in focus in the beads because that's where the camera's focus point was). Try the Rain-x technique; it's fun and you don't need the black light.
