Have you any more info on your home-made cross-pol kit?
I am trying to get some reasonable images of some oil paintings for a
friend, and I think this technique may solve certain of my problems.
Natural light is just too diffuse so none of the texture can be seen. A
couple of flashes either side of the camera seem to work well but the
glare spoils it.
Polarising material seems quite hard to find: I found some here:

Does this look like the right kind of thing to use?
Regards,
Mike.
