The Art of Cross Polarisation

Unread post by NeilOffkey75 »

Anyone else had a try at this, I used my laptop monitor (white background) and my circular polariser. Great fun to be had and now on the hunt for more clear plastic objects!!!

Interesting.

Such clear objects of plastic nature have a 'digital' appearance all on their own under a little bright artificial lighting.

These are good studies. Sort of Andy Warholish as a result ...

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks for the comments.

Greg, I achieved this by the following:

Gave my PC/Laptop monitor a white background. I then place a clear plastic object on the screen. I then placed my camera on a tripod and attached a circular polariser. On turning the polariser the screen goes black and the psychedelic colours appear within the plastic.
