Pretty fun stuff. Here is a rainbow shot though a polarized filter, than again with the filter turned 90º: http://flickr.com/photos/wolever/347729021/ (and full size, for those with out Flickr accounts: http://farm1.static.flickr.com/144/347729021_a6a91728e0_o.jpg) NIQ: Yea, it does show you the stress lines… Pretty fun stuff.

So if you were to cross polarize something like a ruler and you were to bend it around you would get different colour lines depending on how it is bent.

I just got a polarizing filter and it can make pictures taken outside look a fair bit better (especially if rainbows are involved!) I'll have some pictures online to illustrate my point in a couple of days... mmm yes, polarization is a lot of fun!
