Actually quite informative. So the circularly polarized light is created inside the linear polarizer by the quarter-wave plate so as not to mess up the focusing and metering. This is why in the film camera days we only needed the linear polarizer. It makes me wonder why the focusing and metering isn't fooled by the unfiltered polarized light from the sky...

I once had polarized sunglasses made to fit my prescription glasses, and they did not align the polarization axes. My two eyes got different amounts of glare and reflection reduction, and it gave me nausea. I sent them back and had them remade and they apologized for the mistake.

I also had a similar problem in Destin, FL. a few years ago. I thought it was the lenses until I realized I was just drunk as hell. :roll:

That's a good one!

About a year after the sun glasses mentioned above were made the glasses frame broke, so I had that repaired so I could use the sunglasses. Then they broke and I gave up and just use generic clip-ons.

I agree about the beer, and that's one reason I make home brew. I also like Scotch, and definitely avoid bacteria water.

Scotch and water. The Scotch off sets the bacteria and your head will better in the morning. :thumbup:

They put 90 men on a fire line to save the Angora lakes area - I don't know how much has come back or how much was replanted with new pines.

I recall there was a bad fire at Angora Lake a few years ago. Has the area recovered? It was a beautiful lake with a small resort and a few cabins that I thought might have been destroyed.

I walked through an area of Rocky Mountain National Park in 1981 that had been hit by a fire a few years earlier and it was like being on another planet. Hard to believe the devastation. But if you look close you see green as Mother Nature is taking over. It comes back, just takes time. The islands of Hawaii are formed from undersea volcanoes and see how they thrive. :thumbup:

Yes let's head up there - Jim Hildinger - the owner of the Angora Lake Resort is quite a photographer himself - he has a terrific "Coffee Table" book of his photos . He was the High School band teacher when my kids were in school there.
Too bad I did not have anything but a Polaroid and a 127 P&S in those days.
