Optical Centrifuge

CLIENT: N/A | DATE: July, 2016

​Following up to some of my most successful IG posts, I wanted to dive deeper into the Optical Centrifuge series.

As the name implies, the Optical Centrifuge is a spinning vortex of colors that seem to be pushed to their limits as they spill out in all directions. I like how they become their own galaxies with colors and rotations unique to each photo. I will let you in on a little secret, these are just a combination of my phone, a slick surface, and a long exposure.

Each picture is titled with the Google-searched image that I feel like looking up (super scientific I know...) The phone's brightness is turned all the way up as I find a dark place to experiment. Give it a good spin, take a few shots and see what you get! Feel free to tag me @insidebriansbrain or #OpticalCentrifuge if you make some.

The top few are new pics taken with my Canon T3i with variable exposure times and the bottom batch are some that I put out on Instagram a while back that were taken with my old GoPro HERO 2.
