Summary
Infra-Insight: Bulb setting means when you press the shutter button the exposure starts, and it’s only stopped when you press it again – it gives you control over the length of exposure.
The pictures speak for themselves, don’t they? Photoelasticity is really a wonder of science and a great technique that we can use to capture beautiful abstract photographs. If you’ve been a bit of an Albert Einstein and carried out this experiment too, then share your results with us and tell us what you thought.
- Are there some plastic props we didn’t think of?
- Did you find a different trick or composition that YOU love?
- Found any interesting editing effects that you could add in?
If so, share it with us in the feedback gallery so we can all have a good natter about what worked well.
What is Photoelasticity?
The scholarly description of photoelasticity states that it is the ‘changes in the optical properties of a material under mechanical deformation’.
Hmmm, puzzled? Let’s simplify… ‘Photoelasticity is the visual effect of demonstrating the stress distribution in a material’…
It’s basically an x-ray of an object! The results though are what us (and our cameras) are really interested in. The stress areas show up as iridescent colours; the heavier the stress, the darker the colour.
It’s quite an unusual style of photography, mixing hard science with abstract overtones. Some audiences get confused into thinking it's all been Photoshopped – but it hasn’t.
Elastic Fantastic: Photoelasticity was first discovered by Scottish physicist David Brewster, a close friend of William Henry Fox Talbot – one of the founding pioneers of photography.
Small world.
