Further use for CPL

[old dog]

great example Harves. Nice shot too. I am after a 77mm cpl and I`m figuring that the hoya pro1 is the way to go for me. People say that kenko is the same but I only know the kenko is a fair bit cheaper.

where I've found CPL's useful :

1. As Harves mentioned : window reflections
2. Landscapes :
waterfalls (reduction of water glare from rocks),
see-through effects on water, as an additional aid to slow exposure time (not primary of course - NDs for this).
Rainbows - turning the polariser will enhance segments of the rainbow - stack a few shots with polariser in a few positions
3. Weddings : (I'll probably get caned for this lol)
- in outdoor scenes using large apertures, it certainly helps control the light on the bride's dress
- also reduction of glare brings out vibrance of colours significantly (can you remember to turn the polariser when switching from protrait to landscape though)

Thanks for all the tips on when to use this filter - I brought mine, had a play with shooting sky and clouds, and it hasn't come out of it's case again!

Time to pull it back out and have another play I think!

depending on needs and requirements.
A very handy piece of kit, and if not for this particular invention, I think I'd never really shoot as many images as I tend to do. The default position for my CPL's are 'on lens' ... only coming off if they have an adverse impact on the image.

nice example, did not know that application...and didin´t know they used CPL´s back in the 18th hundreds

And a CPL (and even a LPL) is one of the few filters whose effect can't be duplicated in Photoshop either.

Good tip!

Gotta love the claim in the window though - 'painless dentistry'! Since when has any dentistry been painless? Even if you'd been anaesthetised for the procedure, the pain came later. These days most of the pain is felt by the hip-pocket nerve.
