| In the beginning... |
 One of the earliest recorded photographs, this can help bring to light some of the struggle we went through. The first challenge to overcome was getting the flashes to work and to synchronize them to capture the images we wanted. We replaced the filter with a sturdy two by four, and whacked away at it while adjusting our flash intervals and such.  When we finally got our flashes working as they were supposed to, we put a filter back in the device and let it rip.  While we did, indeed, capture a photograph of a breaking filter, it was not of sufficient quality to do any analyzation on. We did some more tweaking of various settings, all of which is outlined in our paper, accessible from the main page. |
| And He saw that it was good... |
After multiple sessions of tweaking, we finally began to obtain some good, quality pictures.  This photo is of remarkably high quality, and the colors used for the flashes stand out from each other well too. We quickly found that we could split this photo into its respective colors, a process described in more detail in the "project" section of our web page. Of particular interest in this photo is the "red" section.  It shows a very good view of the crack forming in the filter. This view is also dominant in the next picture we took, in which we only used the red flash.  Looks like the same filter, but it isn't. The next particularly good picture we took was with a filter of higher thickness.  This picture was also splittable into its respective colors.   As can be seen, we finally got some good, solid pictures to analyze. Read more about the analysis in our paper, or more about our techniques in the "project" section. |
