Simple pleasures, focusing on a small phenomenon. I've got a glass of red wine outdoors in low angle sunlight.
Assuming it's a prism effect, I still can't explain the different red and white shapes to myself. Do I need professional help?

The white is a button. That's what it looks like when you touch the hole ontop. There's some mirrors involved and smoke helps trace the rays.
BattleKruiser kindly gave me images of his Reaction-Diffusion Render, So I illuminated it!

I saw a really good “sun dog” on Monday. People were stopping to gawk at it. (#sun #sundog #sundogs #refraction #atmosphere #atmospheric #atmosphericphenomena #photography #toronto)
