Looking Outwards – 03

I’ll be reviewing a series of kaleidoscope, high-speed camera photos by photographer Linden Glenhill. The series of photos capture water droplets reflecting against an LED Ring light, as they react to the vibration of faraday waves. What I know about the project is that the droplets create complicated oscillating patterns at half the frequency of the oscillating faraday wave, and that the higher the frequency, the more complicated the pattern, this makes sense as the droplets can be seen as a visual representation of the frequency. I really enjoys these kinds of projects as they create literal visualizers for audio, a more abstract sense for humans to comprehend opposed to visuals.
