00:00:00,910 --> 00:00:06,950
And finally, to end this
piece of the tutorial,

2
00:00:06,950 --> 00:00:10,710
I'd like to encourage you
to use your imagination.

3
00:00:10,710 --> 00:00:13,545
Think of lighting that's not
necessarily in the textbooks.

4
00:00:16,375 --> 00:00:18,000
LOOK AT THIS FOR
EXAMPLE: It's a device

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,870
that you'll be
seeing a great deal

6
00:00:19,870 --> 00:00:23,920
of in our virtual
tool of lighting,

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:25,590
which you'll get to later.

8
00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:28,400
I did not place it
on the lightbox;

9
00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:32,189
I used the lightbox
as a light source

10
00:00:32,189 --> 00:00:33,950
as you see in this image.

11
00:00:33,950 --> 00:00:36,480
Because of its
transparency and --

12
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:40,220
its actually quite beautiful
just as something itself --

13
00:00:40,220 --> 00:00:43,120
I put it on my flatbed scanner.

14
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,200
But, this is not
a scanned image.

15
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,590
I'm actually using the light
from the flatbed scanner,

16
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:51,670
as you can see in this image.

17
00:00:51,670 --> 00:00:54,800
Sometimes it could
work if you get light

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,370
from the side in this case.

19
00:00:58,370 --> 00:01:01,070
And another idea that perhaps
you haven't thought about

20
00:01:01,070 --> 00:01:03,750
is to use a small
L-E-D flashlight

21
00:01:03,750 --> 00:01:07,980
if you want to image a very
small area of your device.

22
00:01:07,980 --> 00:01:11,210
Here we're just
photographing the spiral,

23
00:01:11,210 --> 00:01:14,560
which measures about 2 and
a half centimeters across.

24
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:19,190
All I did was shined and L-E-D
flashlight onto that area.

25
00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:22,770
Around the area, we
get lighting fall-off,

26
00:01:22,770 --> 00:01:29,900
so we decided to only image this
particular piece in the device.

27
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:33,180
This is the image I started
making from a material called

28
00:01:33,180 --> 00:01:34,410
Ferrofluid.

29
00:01:34,410 --> 00:01:36,570
And what you're
seeing, actually,

30
00:01:36,570 --> 00:01:40,400
is a close shot
of this material.

31
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,280
It is oil that has suspended
in it iron filings.

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,160
I put it in a glass slide.

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,000
Under the glass slide
is a yellow post-it,

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,789
and under the yellow post-it
are 7 circular magnets.

35
00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:55,880
And you're seeing the
small iron particles

36
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,979
respond to the magnets.

37
00:01:57,979 --> 00:02:03,070
It's basically too tight a
shot to see anything of value.

38
00:02:03,070 --> 00:02:06,380
In this image, I
pulled away a bit,

39
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:09,620
and I see a little a little
more of what's going on,

40
00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:12,940
but basically the
window panes become

41
00:02:12,940 --> 00:02:17,600
maybe too much of a distraction
and it's not quite right.

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,840
And so I decided,
seeing how reflective

43
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,480
the whole image could be, to
put a green card above it.

44
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,260
So now we're seeing a little
bit of green reflecting off

45
00:02:29,260 --> 00:02:30,210
of the material.

46
00:02:30,210 --> 00:02:32,760
It is just purely an
aesthetic decision;

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,750
it's not clarifying anything.

48
00:02:34,750 --> 00:02:36,650
But I'm starting to
think that I might

49
00:02:36,650 --> 00:02:38,990
have an interesting image here.

50
00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:42,440
And, eventually, I did wind
up with this final image:

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,870
With the window pane; with
the green card reflecting;

52
00:02:46,870 --> 00:02:49,310
and, if you really
look carefully,

53
00:02:49,310 --> 00:02:52,770
you see the mistake
of a bad photographer,

54
00:02:52,770 --> 00:02:55,190
because you see me.

55
00:02:55,190 --> 00:02:58,910
Although, it's fun to
play with the children

56
00:02:58,910 --> 00:03:02,070
and asking them
to "Find Felice."

57
00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:05,300
But this is an image
that got a lot of notice

58
00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:06,880
when I made it a while ago.

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,130
And I was using my
imagination in terms

60
00:03:10,130 --> 00:03:14,090
of trying to find a-a
way of using light

61
00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:16,780
in perhaps a different way.
