Re: Apartment project with lighting by invisible hemispheres. I continue advertisingInterestingly, there are two similar physical phenomena. Rainbow and Halo. A rainbow is obtained from the refraction of sunlight through water droplets. The sun is always behind the viewer. The red color is always outside the circle.
The halo occurs as a result of refraction of rays through ice crystals in high clouds. Such a rainbow circle is obtained around a bright light source, the Sun, the Moon, and a night lantern.
It is impossible to get a Halo in the room, but nothing is impossible in my forest)). Let there be a Halo around the brightest lamp above the table. I made this mask first in Photoshop using a huge brush, dripped drops of different colors into one point in turn, gradually reducing the size of the brush, the edges of the brush are blurred. Then he cleaned the center with a huge soft eraser. Then I dripped white paint with a medium soft brush to get a central misty halo on the lamp. So, I'm showing you my Halo on a black background, because the finished transparent mask is almost invisible.
I also made transparent white beams for the lamps. Like this, they dissolve at the end, losing their power. I also show them on a black background to see them.
I carefully combined all these rays and Halos with the lamps. As always, these are the images on the front side of the box, the other sides are invisible. The boxes are located away from the fixtures themselves so that I can illuminate them without disturbing the overall lighting scene in the room. They are not even above the table, but closer to the viewer. There are two pictures for comparison. Daytime and evening versions, with smoky air. The smoke does not allow you to get a rainbow, so the picture is a deception, but sometimes it is more interesting than the truth)). And the room becomes like a landscape in the mountains. Subconsciously))
