Lightfieldmicroscopy

A flat surface is referred to as a plane. A plane mirror is just a mirror with a fully flat, smooth surface. This prevents the image from becoming distorted. A fun-house mirror, on the other hand, maybe the polar opposite, with its different bends and curves making the image look silly.

Visible light meters, or photometers, are instruments designed to measure the intensity of visible light.

When the object is positioned between infinity and center of curvature of a concave mirror the image is created between the center of curvature (C) and focus (F).

In the Case of a Convex mirror: A  ray parallel to the principal axis appears to move away from the principal focus after reflecting from the surface of a convex mirror

In the images formed by a plane mirror, the reflected images are reversed from left to right in their normal proportions. These are the mirrors that are utilised the most.

The mirror-like reflection of light rays is known as specular/regular reflection. The rays of light reflected from a smooth and shining object like a mirror are reflected at a defined angle, and each incident ray that is reflected along with the reflected ray has the same angle to the normal as the incident ray. As a result, this type of occurrence results in the creation of a picture.

Reflection: The rebound of rays of light from an elegant and glossy surface is called reflection or reflection of light. It is related to a football bouncing back after colliding with a wall or any hard surface.

Focus or Principal Focus:  The point on a principal axis which parallel rays; originating from infinity; meet after reflection is known as the Focus or Principal Focus of the round mirror. It is signified by letter “F”

When the object is located at the center of curvature (C) of a concave mirror, a real and inverted image is created at a similar position.

A spherical mirror is a type of mirror in which the reflecting surface is one of the parts of a hollow sphere of glass. Spherical mirrors are further subdivided into two types:

This lighting technique is actually very easy to achieve even with just one light. The trick is to use a large light source (larger than your subject at least), here I used a large soft-box but a large window could have the same effect, and block out the middle area of light. This blocked out area will effectively be your background for the shot. For mine I hung a large piece of black velvet in front of my soft-box but a large black card would also do the same. I like to use black velvet because of its deep texture it reflects very little light and should be part of every photographers kit. It will come in handy on many occasions on set and I use it as a backdrops or for flagging light.

Both of the photographs of the model and the camera were shot using the same lighting technique even though they are made of very different materials and very different sizes. The shot of the model shows clear edge lighting on both the shiny guitar and on the models skin and a good tip when trying to get strong edge lighting on naturally non-shiny objects like skin is to apply a small amount of oil or other liquid. This will allow the skin to catch the light and give you some strong spectral highlights (a direct reflection of the light that is behind) and it also helps to enhance any colours and contrast in tattoos.

Reflection is one of the distinctive properties of light. It is the reflection of light, which enables us to see anything. Light reflection occurs when a ray of light meets a smooth polished surface and reflects back. The incident light ray is said to be reflected off the surface when it lands on it. The beam that rebounds is known as the reflected ray. back. Normal is the name given to a perpendicular drawn on a reflective surface. The reflection of an incident beam on a plane mirror is seen in the diagram below.

In a concave mirror, similar rays; coming from infinity; converge after reflection at the front of the mirror. Thus, the center point lies in front of a concave mirror.

Ray Incident Obliquely to the Principal Axis: Ray on a slope to the principal axis goes indirectly after reflecting from the pole of both concave and convex mirror and in the same direction.

Two possibilities only are possible of the position of the object in the case of a convex mirror, i.e. the object at infinity and object among infinity and pole of a convex mirror.

When you look in the mirror, you see a wonderful, clear image of yourself. It's not like your reflection in a gleaming automobile. And the vast majority of surfaces encountered in daily life aren't at all reflecting. At the kitchen table, you don't see your reflection at all. That's because, while the table appears to be smooth, it isn't. Most surfaces would reveal a panorama of peaks and valleys if examined under a microscope.

A sphere is a 3D replica of a perfect circle, with a constant radius and a consistent curve all the way around. So a spherical mirror is a sphere-shaped mirror with a continuous curve and constant radius of curvature.

Since parallel rays coming from the object converge at the principal focus, F of a concave mirror; after reflection. Hence, when the object is at infinity the image will form at F.

The Object Between Infinity and Pole: When the object is among infinity and pole of a convex mirror, a diminished, virtual and erect image is created among pole and focus behind the mirror.

In a convex mirror, equivalent rays; coming from infinity; emerge to be diverging from the rear mirror. Thus, the focal point  lies at the rear of the convex mirror.

In the same way, all equivalent rays to the principal axis pass through the principal focus after reflection from a concave mirror. Because a concave mirror converges the similar rays after reflection, thus a concave mirror is also known as a converging mirror.

Real Image: Picture which is framed before the mirror and it very well may be acquired on a screen is called a genuine picture.

The Radius of Curvature: The radius of the circle; of which the reflecting surface of a circular mirror is a section; is known as the Radius of Curvature of the round mirror. The range of curvature of a spherical mirror is signified by letter ‘R’.  Like the center of curvature, the radius of shape lies before the concave mirror and lies behind the convex mirror and isn't a piece of the mirror as it lies outside the mirror.

Convex mirror: In a convex mirror the reflection of light is observed at the bulging-out surface or in simple terms at the convex surface. The outer polished surface of a regular spoon can be considered as an example for convex mirrors.

This type of lighting technique is more commonly seen in still life lighting, the even light that wraps around an object is perfect for giving darker shiny objects that extra ‘pop’ when shot against a dark background. This can be seen clearly here on the image of the model with the guitar and on the still life shot of the metal bodied camera.

A non-mirror-like reflection of light is called diffuse/irregular reflection. Light rays that strike an irregular object with a rough surface are reflected back and dispersed in all directions in this form of reflection. The incident ray that is reflected together with the reflected ray has a different angle to the normal than the incident ray. As a result, this type of reflection does not result in the formation of an image.

When the point is located between principal focus and pole of a concave mirror, an inflamed, virtual and erect image is created behind the mirror.

When the object is to be found between the center of curvature and the principal focus of a concave mirror, a real image is created beyond the center of curvature (C).

The angle of incidence is denoted by 'i' and angle of reflection is denoted by 'r'.  The rule of reflection is valid to all types of reflecting surface.

Mirrors having a curved reflecting surface are called round mirrors. A plane mirror constantly outlines a virtual and erect picture.

Considering that this image is pretty much shot with just one light, you can quickly and easily get some great results. The secondary light you see being used here is really just adding some shine to the guitar and therefore turned down very low and thanks to the barn-doors not affecting the model. Shooting this shot with one light effectively though means that you will need to bounce some of that light back into the shot. Here I used a white bounce board but a simple white sheet would have the same effect. By moving that white bounce board closer to the model I was able to brighten the model and conversely by moving it further away I was able to darken the model. Again playing with this will offer different looks so its a good idea to try a couple of different distances.

Principal Axis: Imaginary line going through the center of curvature and pole of a round mirror are known as the Principal Axis.

Virtual, upright representations the same size as the object are created by plane mirrors. By the way, virtual simply implies that the picture is produced behind the mirror rather than in front of it.

When a ray of light strikes a polished, smooth, or glossy item, the light from that object reflects back to our eyes, which is known as "Reflection" or "Reflection of Light." This phenomenon is what allows us to see the world through our eyes. Light travels in a straight line before, after, and during reflection. For instance, the flashing of stars or the reflection of light in a mirror.

I hope I’ve given you a few new ideas to try next time you want to shoot something different.  Let me know your thoughts on this article by commenting below or reaching out to me on my Facebook page I do my best to respond to all questions and comments.

In the Case of the Concave Mirror: Beam going through the center of curvature returns at a similar way subsequent to reflecting from the outside of an inward mirror.

In the Case of the Convex Mirror: Beam seems to go through or coordinated towards the center of curvature parallel to the principal axis after reflecting from the surface of a convex mirror.

In this lesson we will begin to see that concave mirrors are capable of producing real images (as well as virtual images).

Spherical mirrors can be convex or concave depending on which side the mirrored surface is placed on. A convex mirror is a spherical mirror that has its reflecting surface on the outside of the spherical curve. On the other hand, a concave mirror is a spherical mirror with a mirrored surface on the inside of the curve.

Köhlerillumination

What you are trying to achieve by blocking out most of the light is a narrow strip of light all the way around your subject, varying the size of this strip will vary the results so its worth experimenting with it. What this does is to light just the edges of the subject which really makes them stand out from the darker background.

The mirror is a shiny polished object (glass) which reflects most of the rays of light falling upon it. One side of the mirror is cleaned with an appropriate material to make the opposite side reflective.

On account of the concave mirror the center of curvature lies before the reflecting surface. Then again, the center of curvature lies behind the reflecting surface on account of a convex mirror.

In the Case of the Concave Mirror: Ray going through the principal focus goes parallel to the principal axis after the appearance on account of the concave mirror.

An Object at Infinity: When the object is at the infinity, a point-sized image is formed at principal focus behind the convex mirror.

Virtual Image: Picture which is framed before the mirror and it very well may be acquired on a screen is called a genuine picture.

In the picture of the camera the same technique picks up on the naturally shiny metal casing making it clearly stand out from the background. This is one of the reasons it's a very popular still life lighting technique because it means the product is very easy to remove from the background and place it in a composite scene afterwards.

Spot lights can vary in size and application, from small flashlights and landscape lights to large stadium lights.

Likewise, all rays similar to the principal axis of a convex mirror appear to move away or come from principal focus after reflection from a convex mirror. Since a convex mirror diverges the similar rays after reflection, thus it is also known as a diverging mirror. Reflection of a Ray Passing Through the Principal Focus

Concave mirror: In a concave mirror the reflection of light is noticed at the bent surface or in other words at the concave surface. We can consider the inner polished surface of the regular spoon as an example for a concave spherical mirror.

Pole: The focal point of reflecting surface of a round mirror is known as Pole. Pole lies on the outside of the round mirror. It is commonly known by 'P'.

Focal length: The space from pole to focus is called focal length. Focal length is indicated  by the letter ‘f'. Focal length is equivalent to half of the radius of curvature.

Centre of Curvature: The focal point of a circle; of which the reflecting surface of a round mirror is a section; is known as the center of curvature of the spherical mirror. Centre of curvature is not an element of a spherical mirror. Centre of curvature is  indicated  by the letter ‘C’.

The arrangement of the image relies upon the place of the object. In the case of the concave mirror, there are six possibilities on which position of the object is placed.

In the case of a concave mirror: A Ray equivalent to the principal axis passes during the principal focus after reflection from a concave mirror.

In the Case of the Convex Mirror: A ray guided towards principal focus goes parallel to the principal axis after reflecting from the outside of a convex mirror.
