That works so well. The reflected image balances the direct image, and the distortion adds interest.
For your experiment to work, your "prisms" need to be the inverse of each other's shape. That is easy enough for a triangular prism. The cross section is an equilateral triangle. Your safety glasses don't have that property. When passing through the second lens, the different wavelengths of light just get refracted again to new direction. To get them to add back to white light, you need the colored rays to get bent back in the opposite way that the first lens bent them.
Great photo. For your Get Pushed challenge I am going to ask you to do a challenge I am in the middle of doing myself as part of the January challenge with 64 Million Artists: "Hide or move something in a photograph, piece of art or creation. You could take two photographs, and change 3 things in the picture. You could take a photograph and camouflage yourself in it! You could doodle a scene and hide a tiny character, detail or word for others to guess what you have moved or changed...it’s up to you! " If you would prefer something else let me know - thanks.
Cool shot. It always used to work for me to take the polarized glasses and hold one pair so that the lens crosses the other. Looking through the lens it should be dark.
@la_photographic hmmmm got me thinking?! Certainly up for a challenging task!! Do you want me to use an existing picture to change, like a masterpiece??
@tdaug80 Tim, thank you from me, and all who read your explanation! I really did think the plates of plastic would act as prisms or poloroid sunglasses, so your simplistic explanation made sense.
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Jackie I have played with it a few years ago. At the time I struggled to find suitable bits of clear plastic. I did manage to obtain some clear spoons. I should see if I can find them and have another play session.
