Polarization - Photography

In the last two weeks in Creative Media Photography we have been learning about polarization. Polarization is a technique used by a special filter with crystalised slats to either take away relfections or enhance them. Also certain filters can be used to darken shadows and the sky to make other sections of the photo look enhanced. We learnt this last week.

This week we learnt how to bring out all the colours in a transparent object. We did this by having an old fashioned projecter then put a peice of difusior film on top then you put the polarization filter on top. You also have a polarization filter on the camera. Once you turn the focus and the filter you can increase or change slightly the patterns the colours are in.
