Bending Light

Wow... it's like watching a SciFi movie about cosmic rays, sunlight or maybe gamma radiation. I'm talking about the experiments of Alan Jaras, a "light photographer", on flickr.

Down his photostream there are many many experiments and attempts (and why not to say sucess) on bending light, an strange phenomeon formed when light passes through various pieces of glass. Here, I'm gonna post only a few, but you really should visit his flickr and check everything out. You'll get amazed. Cheers! ;)

Hi, Paulo.

I'm very glad for two reasons:
- I have just found a very nice site about graphics and design (yours);
- I'm Brazilian too. It's really good to see people from Brazil posting useful content about Computer Graphics.

Your site is so cool I'm thinking about to give you a link in my page. :)

I'm a Computer Graphics researcher. When you have some time, make me a virtual visit.

Best regards.

Thanks Paulo for posting these - much appreciated.

> Crazyhunk: definitely not computer generated, pure analogue images captured directly on to 35mm film. Of course the film has been scanned to upload the images but what you see above is a 2D view of the 3D image I saw through the viewfinder.
