My cross polarisation effort

[AlexR!]

Thanks to Stan's instructions, here are a couple of my attempts. I had some plastic picnic glasses so thought I'd see what liquid added (not much) although I did quite like the added interest of some bubbles.

I didn't have any plastic glasses otherwise I would have tried that as well - works well although as you say the water apart from a couple of bubbles doesn't make much difference

First is the better of the two Alex. Great effect. I rather like the bubbles

Agree with Alan, the first shot looks best.. - both good shots though.

Actually I like them both. Well done Alex

I do like that first one - nice

Stan, Alan, Bill, Tom, Ian, thanks all.
It was actually fascinating (if you are a geeky kinda guy) just to watch a white screen change to black just by rotating the circular polarising filter. I know the theory but I can't really get my head round the idea that light is just a wavelength.

The first image is my choice, wonder what more bubbles and a frosted glass would look like.

Challenge is set then Alex
