I'm pretty sure the text states (the second time Galadriel lifts her hand) that the Ring issued a great light that illuminated her alone.

I think this is shirly to be connected with Sam's 'star' between Galadriel's fingers.

Sam saw 'something' but earlier he was greatly upset by his vision, didn't want to see any more magic, and a bit later wished Galadriel would take the One and stop 'them digging up the gaffer' and so on (revealing, I think, where his mind and attention was still focused).
