Week 4- Reflective Surfaces


So I'm in my room studying for the lighting midterm (no joke), when I yawn, scratch my head and get ready to take a break. I look over at my boombox (where I have recently been playing a Cirque Du Solei soundtrack: Varekai) and look at a strange image on my wall. At first, I had no clue what was making that image until I looked closer at the ghostly looking thing and realized it had an upside down SONY spelled backwards on it. I instantly knew it came from my boom box,... but why??? It never did that before under regular household lighting. But then I realized my window blinds were open and the sunlight hit my boombox with such a strong beam, that it reflected the curves of my boombox. I don't know what it was about the image, probably the abnormal shape, but I swear I was there for 3-4 minutes just staring at it before I figured I should grab my camera and take a picture of it. Who knew a boombox could act like a reflector?
