And remember you have to be looking at polarized light. Some video screens are more polarized than others. This effect doesn't happen when you look at white paper.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-45032824580972421142013-08-14T19:32:58.912-04:002013-08-14T19:32:58.912-04:00I'm with Leslie...

Glad to have a name for it. But thanks even more for the link to Minnaert's book. I had it in college back in the 1970s but foolishly gave my copy away. As a longtime plein air artist I found it to be quite fascinating.
