Varicolor
172 Pink/Orange also called Purple/Orange
When you use Vari-colour filters you can produce truly bizarre effects, However, read this page carefully. Different rotations of the filter will produce very different results.
The main possibilities are :
1 Use together with a Neutral or Circular Polarizer (160, 164). Depending on the rotation of the Polarizer, you can vary the colors gradually from one extreme to the other. For instance, the red/blue goes from red through every shade of purple to blue.
2 If you have rotated the Polarizer (160 164) (with the Vari-Colour) to achieve a hue between the two colors of the filter, then when you turn the filter holder as a whole, that hue will not change but reflections will alternate between the two colors.
3 If you have already rotated the Vari-Colour and Polarizer (160 164 ) filters for maximum saturation in one or the other color, you can make reflections disappear by rotating the filter holder.
4 Using the Cokin Vari-Colour without the Polarizer (160, 164 ), you can color reflecting areas in either color of the filter depending on the filter position, With filter No. 173, for example, the color will be either blue or yellow. The rest of the image will retain the color of the filter itself.
Using a Cokin Vari-Colour
# 173 Blue/ Yellow without the Polarizer No filter
If you're the curious type and are interested in taking a short, drug-free, hyper-3-D trip without any unpleasant side effects, try putting a Cokin Blue/Yellow color polarizing filter #173 over your left eye, with the filter oriented to maximum blue. Then put a Cokin Red/Green #170 over the other eye rotated to maximum red. Now go for a walk outside, particularly on a wet day (the polarizing effect works best on wet or shiny surfaces), and enjoy the trip.
