I was talking with a photographer/scientist I know and they suggested using a polarizing lens on the camera in conjunction with a polarizing film to capture flash. I haven't tried it myself, or if you would need the film as well as the lens, but it's an idea. If you do get a chance to try, let me know how it works!

Lovely wrap and a beautiful stone!

Oh lord, I've not worked with film in forever!

Hrm, I wonder if they make an affordable digital filter like that.

I know for DSLR type cameras there's definitely polarizing lenses. Polarizing film is a plastic sheet with a polarizing coating- not film you put in your camera. That wasn't very clear in my op was it?

:giggle: Nope! I'm still trying to learn my father's kickass old film camera, so I though that's what you meant!

I don't have a dslr but will still try to do some hunting when funds are better.
