Scotchlite Problem

[Guest]

Remember the rule: Angle of incidence equals angle of reflection

 

Managing light is like playing pool. The angle that light hits a subject is the angle it will reflect. For instance, if a flash is mounted on the camera it will hit the subject in a straight line from the camera and bounce back at the camera. If a flash is off to the side at an angle it will hit the subject and bounce off the subject at the same angle and not back at the camera. Reflective striping  is a little more tricky than glass or chrome etc. but this rule will generally work with scotchlite as well.

 

That sounds like a good method. Thanks.
