That ending with the music I could watch and listen to for hours. You are very creative. I appreciate that you share with others what you have discovered in order to foster more creativity. Thank you for this.
Brilliant and informative video, I never knew this existed but now I'm going to use this technique in my art class! It really fits in with my project, thanks for sharing
Very interesting! Try quartz and other reflective, refractive minerals? UV light may help fluorescence. Removing the filters IR, UV, added to a sensor stack may also produce surprises? Thanks!
You could probably set up several elements to use simultaneously. The images on my videos here are all single shots. Basically I shoot in total darkness, I expose a scene or light object, cap the lens or cover the opening then move the camera (shutter still open) to another tripod set up with a different light source object, uncover and continue adding new light to the photo. Like oldschool double exposure technique. It is hard to explain. Check out my vid about multi exposure single photo for more details about capturing several different elements/scenes within a single photo. Thanks!
Mechanically it is the same as a DSLR, so it should work. The only question would be if the camera make/model will allow you to take a shot with the lens off.
@@theexperimentalphotographe8235 i will try it with a nikon f3 and a fuji superia 400, nonetheless i'm afraid of that the film will expose completely the frame or part of the roll by exposing the film to light without a lens between them, but it would be fun trying it and there's nothing like an experimental process, thnks for the response, amazing channel!
@@pasrrrrr Do you have a cap for the body? I would cap the body, open the shutter, uncap for exposure, then cap back on. Also keep the room as dark as possible, that is always a good thing in general. Let me know how it works! I have an old Canon t70, I have been thinking of digging it out of the dust bin.
i love how you keep repeating reflectography, hoping you'll coin a new term. i tried the same thing but i called it diffractionism and i did it in 3d. Anyway, I hate to tell you, but what you're doing is just projecting caustics. The caustics are determined by the shape of the glass you choose so they are not organic. And they certainly are not the "wave properties", but certain micro deformation in the glass structure.
Thanks for your perspective! The terms that I use in this vid and all my vids are well established in the light painting photography community, I didn't create any of them. In response to your other point, I agree that the primary "structure" of light collected by the sensor is a result of the light reflecting/refracting from the glass, however, within that main refraction/reflection is a fantastic array of fine detail; patterns within patterns within patterns, undulations of the color spectrum, randomly spawning yet highly ordered. Far too much detail to be explained by the simple curvature of the glass objects that I use, and also too ordered to be random flaws in the glass.
There is no such thing as irrelevant information. All information is relevant. How information is used within a given subject can promote or deter a logical outcome.
Amazing, thank you so much for making this video and demonstrating the technique
Thank you!
I love the change in voice tone at min 10! 😂 "I think I'm on to something here!" ❤love it, thanks for sharing!
Thanks! (I think 😅). I'll have to rewatch it.
This is the best explained video on this technique on youtube or anywere on the internet for that matter very well done mate fantastic video 🙂🙌👏👏
Thanks David!
Thank you for that very interesting tuto! Love the video at the end with the music, it's quite relaxing!
Hey Jean-Marc, thank you!

You are welcome! I'm not much of an "in front of the camera" kind of guy, but I do like to share knowledge.

Thank you Inert Trader!
Good, and very helpful video.
Very interesting!

Thanks!
Thanks Patrick. Interesting idea to use objects that flouresce! Please share a photo if you try that!
Great tutorial R.! Thank you ! I have never try but now I will know better how to do it ;-)
Thanks Olivier!
wowww
Never heard of this before. Looks really beautiful. But I think I would worry too much about my sensor to try it out... 😉
can you have multiple elements pointing towards the sensor or were they composed together in post?

@@theexperimentalphotographe8235 I’m trying to do this in motion, so I wouldn’t think that would work but I’ll check it out
This is beautiful stuff man! As many times I've put a piece of glass in front of a lens, I never thought to do it with no lens! Thanks for sharing bts
Awesome Jimmy Q2 Videos, thanks!
is it possible to do this with a slr?
