Someone was recently commenting about getting a polarising filter, so I thought I'd post a couple of pictures where I think such a filter made a real difference to the final result. See what you reckon.
These were all taken at about the same time in the MK at WDW, with a Circular Polarising filter being used in two opposing ways. Note the differences go far beyond just making the sky bluer and reducing reflections (which you often want to keep anyway). The right setting of a polarising filter can also make colours richer and improve exposure in mid-tone & shadow areas (note the greens of the tress and bushes for example).
1 A
1 B
2 A
2 B
Which do people prefer, because there are pros and cons to every situation (e.g. the tone and contrast detail of the castle)
