How would I go about doing this?

I was just browsing some tumblogs and was going through some cool psychedelic photography. Has this been edited? Or is this a trick with a warped lens or something?

If this has been edited, they did an outstanding job.

This was probably shot against treated or tinted, reflective glass on a building.

It may possible to replicate the rainbows using a sheet of plastic and glass and a polarizer. Place the two sheets one on top of one another, and shoot through a polarizer filter. Adding a layer of oil between the sheets might also be interesting.

on a second thought, I think you'd need another polarizer on the opposite side of the glass/oil/plastic sammich.

IDK. Ask Helen.
