Despite being aware of the problem since the release of the iPad 2, Apple has made the same mistake with the iPad 3: polarizing the screen in the wrong direction for mobile use.
Pilots' kneeboards and vehicle mounts keep the pad in portrait orientation. Pilots almost always wear sunglasses, as other mobile users often do. Yet Apple has chosen to render the iPad unusable in these conditions, for no reason. There's no benefit to being able to see the screen in landscape format for the majority of users.
UPDATE: This has apparently finally been fixed in the fourth-gen iPads.
This one is an olivine crystal looked at through crossed polarized light which gives us what are called birefringence colors. It is similar to the effect that you get from an oil slick. This olivine cystal I am particularly interested in because it is surrounded by a reaction rim of oxides and pyroxene.
And the other had twisted the other way. I may have to bring the polarizer to the aquarium and see about trying to get pictures with flash of things behind glass.
Holding polarized glasses in front of the camera makes everything even more blue and green. In front of Ibuhos - right in the polarized section - is a marine protected area. There's no diving here (yet).
I was playing around with my new polarizing filter. This was taken seconds after the previous one, having given the polarizing filter a twiddle.
This was a good day to play around with my polarizer... I got such vivid colors with it! I really wanted to show the colors of fall.
My photo walk of June 8, 2023 in Lyon, France by a stunning summer day with my Nikon F SLR camera (circa 1964-1965). The guiding idea was to use a circular polarizing filter with a color negative film for all outdoor pictures. I did my photo session between about 2pm to 5pm. The temperature reached 33°C in the afternoon and the atmosphere was very clear and dry.
My 60's Nikon F was equipped with its normal lens Nippon Kogaku Nikkor-S 1:2 f=5cm with is lighter than my later period Nikkor-S version 1:1.4 f=50mm from the early 70's. The lens was equipped with the original Nikkor F metal shade hood specific of the 1:2 f=5cm. For all outdoor views the lens was also equipped with a Hakura 52mm polarizing filter oriented for the best color saturation.
I used a Fujifilm 200 36-exposure negative color film (this film is made in the USA and given with the same technical characteristics of Kodak Gold 200). It was exposed for 50 ISO to compensate the polarizing filter absorption, using an Autometer III Minolta lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.

After exposure, the film was developped by a local lab service using the C-41 protocol. The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivo Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
This exemplary of Nikon F (engraved "Nippon Kogaku Tokyo") has a serial number beginning by 658xxxx and was consequently manufactured in the mother Oi Nikon factory in Tokyo, Japan, between Dec. 1964 and April 1965. I bought the camera in Feb. 2022 from Japan. The Nikon F body came with the normal lens Nikkor-S 1:2 f=5 cm, branded "Nippon Kogagu". For the photo session the body was equipped with the body shell of a late Nikon F CTT ever ready bag. This body shell holds the original leather neck strap and is made of a metallic shell covered outside by a black leather and a dark-red velvet inside.

All I did was take two similar images, back-to-back, of the same scene. The only difference is that the polarizing filter is turned to produse the maximum effect in the image marked "with" and 90º from maximum in the image marked "without." You can easily notice the changes in the sky, clouds and water.
These are straight off the card with no image alteration at all to make a valid comparison.
