vampire reflexion






"The latest slant on this myth - Vampires do not cast a reflection in a mirror because (in times past) mirrors were made by placing a thin film of silver on the back of a pane of glass. And because Vampires have an allergic reaction to silver, they can't cast a reflection in a mirror.

Along comes the camera. One of the first ways to produce film was using a solution of silver nitrate , There's that silver again. Vampires and silver don't mix - so you can't photograph vampires.

Now - 21st century photography is predominantly digital. So the latest slant is that you CAN photograph a Vampire PROVIDING you use a digital camera - because the process to produce the image doesn't involve silver."
