Circular Polarisers (and quantum physics!)

Circular Polarisers (or polarizers if your American) are great for getting more saturation in your sky and taking some reflections off of things such as puddles, and cars and wet roads.

They do also take out a stop or 2 of light entering the camera.

But here is a good way to show how you can test your CirPol to see if it is good!.




After the break here is a video that kinda explains how it works

  1. Dom, have you used a ND filter or ND fader? I heard that you could use two polarisers to make a ND but you just shown it may not work.
