And here we have our Fourier transform nr. 58! As far as I'm concerned, perhaps the most enigmatic and unexpected spectrum so far... anyway, quite a spectacle! #BraggYourPattern #Fouriertransform #crystallography As always, more on behance.net/specialdefects and instagram.com/specialdefects
A square divided in four squares, each containing strands of violet-and-blue light - some like rays, some like diffuse bands - separated by darker shady regions. Overall, these lights look like refractions coming from the centre of the image, which gets darker and darker in approaching the very middle.
