Without Polarizing Filter

Two photos taken to show the use of a PL circular polarising/ polarizing filter.

 

The polarizing filter has two applications in both color photography and black-and-white photography: it reduces reflections from some surfaces, and it can darken the sky.

 

This photo was taken without the circular polariser on and you can see there is significant glare or reflection from the body and windows of the bus. Also, the red buildings behind the bus look rather dull. Compare this photo with the next photo and see the sharly reduced reflection from the bus and windows, as well as the reduced haze when the polarizing filer is put onto the lens.
