Sorry if this has been covered before but I could not find it if it has.

I bit the bullet and bought a polarising filter and have been experimenting with it.

this might sound like a stupid question - but how does one use a CPL with a lens hood.

I usually like to keep the lens hood on - but for the life of me - I can;t really work the polariser when the lens hood is attached. I can;t really get my hand in to turn it without sticking my fingers all over the filter itself.

is there a technique - or should I just take the lens hood off?
