1st Category: Light Technologies and Optical Phenomena.
- First prize for the photograph entitled “Sacred Colors” taken by Ms. María Serrano Sánchez.
Description: This photograph shows how the light from the stained glass windows coming from a rose window hits the columns in vibrant colors. It is striking how the light plays with cold and warm tones on the architectural elements.
- Second prize for the photograph entitled “Diffraction Vision” taken by Mr. Mario Guerras Rodríguez.
Description: We have a photograph with a small flashlight through a diffraction grating. Thanks to this element, we are able to diffract the light and separate the different wavelengths that make up the light of the flashlight, being able to observe the different colors of the spectrum.
2nd Category: The Laser.
- First prize for the photograph entitled “Reflexiones” taken by Mr. Fernando González Reyes.
Description: Reflections of a laser with the inner walls of a glass beaker filled with oil. The glass is immersed in water, the laser is green and turns red as it passes through the oil.
- Second prize for the photograph entitled “Liquid Light” taken by Mr. Fernando González Reyes.
Description: Image of the pattern formed when a laser beam hits a water jet.
Thank you very much to all the participants and congratulations to the winners.
