I got some cheap polarizing film and played around with it. I thought something was wrong with the film since it wouldn’t go extinct no matter how I rotated it. Later discovered I had forgotten to remove the protective plastic off one of the polarizers, but I loved the colors it gave!

Still pretty early into photography and videos through the scope! Been really enjoying dropping salt water in a slide and looking at crystals evaporate. Big crystals are cool but I saw this cool flow of all these little cubes
