Shine - Reflection Hunters [ENG/ESP]

Hello friends and hello community, we return to capturing reflections and this time I arrive early to the round. But not to break the habit, I start at the beginning, which is to wish you a nice week and my hope that the previous days have been nice and productive, which is the most important thing. And if you're reading me and you're not participating in the community, well, what are you waiting for? Share with us that unexpected reflection you found, that bouncing light that filtered near you. A big greeting and let's begin: new week, new reflection.

Hola amigos y hola comunidad, regresamos a capturar reflejos y esta vez llego temprano a la ronda. Pero para no perder la costumbre, comienzo por el principio, que es desearles una linda semana y mi esperanza es que los días anteriores hayan sido bonitos y productivos, que es lo más importante. Y si me lees y no estás participando en la comunidad, pues, ¿qué esperas? Compártenos ese reflejo inesperado que encontraste, esa luz rebotando que se filtró cerca de ti. Un gran saludo y comenzamos: nueva semana, nuevo reflejo.

The photograph I share with you today is the reflection of the crystal stone of a ring that belonged to my sister. I found the ring while tidying up some things, and as soon as I saw it, I was struck by how polished the surface was and the colors and reflections it showed when light approached it. But now that I think about it, perhaps "reflection" is not the exact word. Because what I saw was not light bouncing off the surface like in a mirror, but something more beautiful: the light entered the stone, decomposed inside into colors, bounced off its internal walls, and then shot out in those orange and blue sparkles that I liked so much. Physicists call it refraction and dispersion, and they say that colorful shine is called a gem's fire. I like to think it was light playing at getting lost inside the crystal for a second before escaping. I liked so many sparkles so much. I placed it on a piece of cardboard, put a flashlight next to it, and simply took the photo. This is the result I share with you today. Sometimes we are surrounded by objects with reflections, or with inner fire, interesting ones, and we overlook them.

La fotografía que les comparto hoy es el reflejo de la piedra de cristal de un anillo que era de mi hermana. Encontré el anillo limpiando un poco las cosas, y en cuanto lo vi me llamó la atención lo pulida de la superficie y los colores y reflejos que mostraba cuando la luz se le acercaba. Pero ahora que lo pienso, quizás reflejo no sea la palabra exacta. Porque lo que vi no era la luz rebotando en la superficie como en un espejo, sino algo más bonito: la luz entraba en la piedra, se descomponía por dentro en colores, rebotaba en sus paredes internas y luego salía disparada en esos destellos anaranjados y azules que tanto me gustaron. Los físicos lo llaman refracción y dispersión, y dicen que ese brillo de colores se llama fuego de la gema. A mí me gusta pensar que era la luz jugando a perderse dentro del cristal un segundo antes de escaparse. Me gustaron mucho tantos destellos. Lo coloqué sobre un cartón, puse una linterna al lado y simplemente tomé la foto. Es el resultado que hoy les comparto. A veces estamos rodeados de objetos con reflejos, o con fuego interior, interesantes, y los pasamos de largo.
