Lessons from Dappled Light During a Solar Eclipse

Dappled light is often unnoticed and underappreciated. This paper illustrates and describes dappled light under foliage during a solar eclipse, shows how a bush can create images of the Sun eclipsed by local objects any sunny day, and presents a free application to simulate dancing dappled light using mobile phone video of foliage.

Abstract

Dappled light is often unnoticed and underappreciated. This paper illustrates and describes dappled light under foliage during a solar eclipse, shows how a bush can create images of the Sun eclipsed by local objects any sunny day, and presents a free application to simulate dancing dappled light using mobile phone video of foliage.
