Description
The optical phenomenon of thin-film interference — the same physics that colours soap bubbles and peacock feathers — produces the iridescent colour palette of this photograph when a nanometre-thin layer of mineral oil is spread on still water and photographed under a specific angle of illumination. The colour distribution is both physically determined and artistically unpredictable, making each photograph unique. This particular capture shows an unusually complete and balanced distribution of spectral colours with strong magenta and cobalt dominance framed by areas of emerald and gold. The photograph is supplied as a high-resolution 300 DPI digital file with colour profile embedded (Adobe RGB 1998) for premium print output.
