using a polarizer
A test to show how a polarizer can be used to minimize or even maximize reflections off of a surface.
The first picture is with no polarizer.
The second one has the polarizer aligned to allow the maximum amount of polarized light from the reflection through. The exposure time is 1.5 stops longer to equalize the overall exposure, since much of the light of the rest of the picture is now blocked.
Finally we have the image with the polarizer turned about 90 degrees to block the reflected light. Again I had to extend the exposure time by 1.5 stops to account for all the light I blocked.
