Description This is NOT a Manipulation, in any way. Just a straight photo, with only slight curves adjustment.

I thought this was the weirdest thing. I was walking by this billboard, which told how many lanes were open, and noticed the reflection of the sunset upon it. I began messing around with snapping a few photos and then i noticed slight rainbow-like qualities at certain angles. i snapped on my polarizer and even stranger things begun. the more my polarizer interacted with the polarizer on the board, the more liquidy rainbows began to form.

You can see the reflection of the clouds and trees in the board along with the morphing that happened due to the wind blowing the plexiglass cover on the sign.

Through the lens, it just seemed like God was advertising the gorgeous break-down of glorious light on a billboard to New Jersey...just for a moment though.

my polarizer has done similar things. I have a circular polarizer, when i use it on bright sunny days, it makes rainbows with teh ligh t, the darker areas are greens and blue while the lighter areas are reds and yellow

very bizarre

tons of thoughts flodded in my mind when i saw this...
maybe because i'm an advertising student...
some phrases:
- truth in advertising
- distorted reality
- sensationalism

beautifull example of cross polarization! Not often do people take advantage of the weird effects that can occur with cross polarization. Makes me want to run around town and hunt some polarized glass down!
