Photo demonstrating the rainbow effect present in single-chip DLP projectors

This is used in the article DLP projectors to illustrate the rainbow effect that can be seen when a single-chip projector is displaying a moving image. The photographer is waving his hand in front of a projector in a darkened room. Taken by Damien Donnelly. The image is high resolution, GFDL, and vividly illustrates the color strobing present in single-chip DLPs. There is some blurriness which is probably unavoidable as it is a motion shot under low light.

  • Oppose the chair and the projector are blurred, and since the meta data says the speed was 1/6, I imagine it is motion blur from hand holding the camera. While the rambow effect is demonstrated, I feel the way the hand motion was captured is distracting. It's a good photo and serves an encyclopedic purpose, but I feel it falls a little short of FA requirements.--Andrew c 21:18, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
