Home made defraction filter.

Here's a great effects filter I developed many years ago for you Cokin users. Cut out the face of a cd case so that it fits your holder and add a poleriser to the front of the lens. Your image will have multi colours from the defraction of the plastic of the cd case. And those colours will change as you move the poleriser. To see this effect before you start, just hold the front of the cd case in front of a polerising filter and look through. The effect changes depending on light conditions, position of polariser, and position of filter in holder. Happy snapping !
