  Welcome to all "lurkers" and new forum members!

  by stuckinarut2 in

  it seems like we have had quite a few new members join up over the last few months!.

  has anyone else noticed this?.

  i guess that most of us "lurked" here for some time before we got the courage to actually join up and start as a proper forum member?

  The explanation is the following... The logo is back lighted by blue lights, so in the camera, the light coming directly from the letters is interpreted in the camera's sensor as white (it's too bright, or a blown-out highlight in photographic terms), so, when that same light is reflected from the floor, as the floor it's not a perfect mirror, you have *less* light coming, so you have the same light *underexposed*, and that underexposition let you see that the color of the light is blue, not a bluish white due to overexposure, the same happens in the wall beacausethe wall is less reflective too :)
