Shoot the picture, Then imbibe? Now he tells me!
Please view full frame on black to see the details & colors in the dark areas.
Having fun with bubbles & crossed polarizers.
CO2 bubbles in liquid have little effect on polarized light.
However, the bubble surface of water glass has a remarkable effect on polarized light.
SETUP:
The sole source of light for this photo was from a ViewSonic VP2365wb LCD monitor rotated 90° clockwise (which made the plane of polarization vertical). A pair of plastic champagne flutes was filled with ginger ale and placed on a sheet of black water glass in front of the monitor. The water glass rotates the plane of polarization to horizontal ± small variations due to the bubble surface texture. A polarizing filter was placed in front of the camera lens and rotated until the monitor appeared nearly black. The photograph was taken and rotated 90° clockwise for fun and 16x9 composition.
