Reduce Glare and Reflections
Using
the C-PL filter, reflections and glare can be reduced significantly
from non-metallic surfaces. A camera angle of 30 degrees from the
reflecting surface (glass, water, etc.) is ideal for maximum effect.
Color and Contrast
Enhancement
sometimes appears bluish. This is also caused by light polarization.
Using the polarizing filter will help to greatly reduce the softness
caused by atmospheric haze.

How to use a polarizing filter:
PL filters achieve their greatest effect of
eliminating glare when used at a 30-40 degree angle to a reflective
surface (like glass or water). At midday when the
sun is directly overhead, or at a 90 degree angle, the filter will have
the least effect. These effects are easily visible by rotating the
filter and looking through the viewfinder of the camera. Keep in mind
that you will first need to adjust the polarizing filter before setting
the exposure controls.
For deepening the color of the blue sky and making
the clouds jump out at you, hold the camera at a right angle to the sun
and take the photo when the sun is at a 30-40 degree angle in the sky.
When photographing distant subjects, scenery
sometimes appears bluish. This is also caused by light polarization.
Using the polarizing filter will help to greatly reduce the softness
caused by atmospheric haze.
There are a variety of ways in which the use of
polarizing filters can help you capture that perfect shot. Reducing the
haze and enhancing colors may seem like simple effects, but once used,
these effects will prove to be invaluable to photographers at any level
of interest. |

You
simply mount the PL Finder on the hotshoe of your camera. Attach the
included vernier polarizing filter in front of your lens. Look through
the PL Finder, turn the ring on the PL Finder to achieve the desire
effect. Note the numerical mark on PL Finder where the white dot is.
Adjust the vernier polarizing filter so that the numerical marking on
the filter is also pointing at the same direction (ie: inline with the
white dot on the PL Finder). Then compose the picture using your
camera's viewfinder and take the shot. |
