So on Wednesday, I went to Kaiser Bowl to body board with Dustin, Kai, Troy, Sean, and David. The forecast said something ridiculous like a 8+ south swell or something, so we went, and I thought I was gonna die. But I didn’t. The waves weren’t even that big. During sets, probably 6-7 max, but Dustin said it was much bigger before. Well, I just so happened to have my camera at the time, and I was taking videos for my physics video. I thought using the ocean’s waves were too generic, so I took this one instead. Its a picture of the sun reflecting off the side of the Waikiki Prince Hotel, my most favorite hotel in Waikiki. Because the hotel is perpendicular to the ground, only the vertical light waves are reflected off of it to make the glare. So, if one has polarized sunglasses, and tilts the glasses sideways, the glare should be blocked out. The glasses act as a filter to only let horizontal light through, and blocks out the vertically polarized glare.
This picture isn’t glare though, it’s the reflection of the setting Waikiki sun.
