Abstract
The introduction of an efficient plane polarizing sheet material in sizes large enough to cover lenses and lights has made simple the use of polarized light in photography. An Eastman Pola-screen, incorporating this material, over the lens, allows unusual sky effects, photographing obliquely through glass and water without reflections, and photographing other surfaces obliquely to show surface detail. When the subject is illuminated through larger Pola-screens, in addition, complete control of gloss results. Faces so photographed can appear unnaturally perspiry, or devoid of all lustre, depending upon the camera Pola-screen position. Reflections from animation cells can be greatly reduced, and photographing any small subject that presents a reflection problem is quite simple. Various trick lightings and color effects are also attainable.
