Érintfény

Érintfény is a Hungarian term that translates to "contact light" or "touch light" in English. It refers to a phenomenon where light appears to touch or graze an object or surface. This can occur in various natural and artificial settings. In nature, érintfény might describe the way sunlight briefly illuminates the edge of a cloud or the way a distant light source seems to skim the horizon. It can also be observed in artistic contexts, such as in painting or photography, where artists use light to define the contours of a subject or create a specific mood by highlighting certain areas with a delicate touch of illumination. The term emphasizes the subtle and often transient nature of the interaction between light and form. It is not a scientific term with a precise definition but rather a descriptive phrase used to evoke a particular visual impression of light's engagement with its surroundings. The feeling conveyed by érintfény is often one of gentleness, delicacy, or a fleeting encounter.
