The left frames are without an polarizer and the right frames are with a polarizer.
Notice in the scenic view how the colors are intensified and the contrast makes the clouds more distinct. The polarizing effect will be most obvious if your subject is 90° from the sun. In other words, this shot was taken with the sun positioned at my left shoulder. If I had taken a shot with the sun straight to my back, there would not have been such a dramatic difference. There was less than 30 seconds between these shots. The blur that you barely notice in the non-polarized frame is a seagull. It's too bad he flew off, because he would have really showed up well in the polarized shot.
The polarized cuts glare and reflections if you should have to shoot through a window. You can plainly see the reflections of the buildings across the street - both on the left and right of the frame - without the polarizer in place. The filter did not totally eliminate the reflections, but the benefit is obvious.

Christmas Eve Eve - 15 images - Canon EOS M100 & Super-Takumar 1:3.5 28mm Prime (M42 mount) and & Fotodiox (M42-EOS V.2 adapter) & Fotodiox Pro (EF-EOS M adapter) & Polarizer - Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives on Vancouver Island, where he works as a writer.
Note: The aperture for all of the "landscape" images in this set is F8. The effective focal length is 1.6 X 28 = 45mm which I regard as "normal" [any value from 45mm to 55mm]. Ideally, in this range, "what you see is pretty much what you get."
The 28mm Takumar is a classic legacy M42 lens with its own character which you might look for in these images. Because I deliberately set the aperture to F8, the landscape images here pushed the ISO to 1600. To use this lens on this camera I need two Fotodiox adapters. The first converts the M42 to EOS and the second converts the EOS to EOS-M. Focus peaking works really well with manual lenses on the M100.
For reference, the very last image in this set was shot at F3.5 with ISO 100. It really does not appear any more "brilliant" than the landscape images with ISO 1600. In fact they are all equally uninspiring from a "brilliance" point of view. But that too is the point. Dull days like this day need to be documented. They are part of our life. In these days the beauty is more refined.

Nikon D800 Photoshoot of Twin Sister Bikini Swimsuit Model Goddesses
Twin sister goddesses!
Shot with my new, rather expensive B&W CP (circular polarizer)--the B W XS-Pro Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with Multi-Resistant Nano Coating ! I love the finish it gives! Nothing in post compares! :)
Finished in Lightroom 5!

Fuji X-E3 + polarizer. A midsummer evening/night photo from a nature reserve.
It was a very quiet and calm evening and there was no-one around. Sun sets after 23:00 so there's plenty of time to take photos like this one.
Plastic forks stacked in front of an LCD computer screen. Image taken with circular polarizer on lens, rotated to supress light from the LCD screen.
One lone fork stacked on the base of the others to see the effect.
Taken through my sunglasses. I didn't have my circular polarizer with me, but the glasses cut the glare just fine.
This is a new launching/landing spot we tried this morning, near one of our local surf spots, Ke'ei. For those that know Manini from my photostream, this is about one mile further south, at the southern end of Kealakekua Bay.
My Daniel (aged seven at the time) took my camera when we were unpacking inside the excellent bungalow at Sivalai Beach Resort in Koh Mook, Thailand and proceeded to photograph various objects.
This selfie (sort of) using a vanity mirror came out especially nice.
The reason the lens looks all black is that I had a polarizing filter on it at the time.
A composite of 2 photographs, one with a polarizer filter turned to its most effective position (the left) and the other with the polarizer at its least effective.
The difference is mainly in the sky, with the more saturated colours making the clouds really pop out. The filter really cuts through that blue haze which so often affects landscape photos. The orange roofs on the houses also show up much better without the glare from the sun.
The equipment I used was as follows-
Camera: Konica Minolta Dynax 5D
Focal Length: 18mm
Aperture: f/9
Shutter Speed: 1/320 (non-polarized), 1/160 (polarized, to compensate for the darkening effect of the camera).
Filter: Hoya 55mm PRO1 Circular PL.
Hope this helps demonstrate how brilliant these filters are and how important they are to anyone interested in landscape photography. It's so difficult to replicate this effect in image manipulation software and at any rate it would take a long time.

With the black 45surf surfboard! It gets hot in the sand in the sun! Wearing a leather Buffalo Nickel Cowboy Hat! :)
Combine the shallow-depth-of-field with Sony NEX-6's latest face-tracking auto focus, and you can see how the moving video keeps the model's pretty blue eyes in focus, while blurring the background! The Sony Alpha NEX 6 has much better bokeh than the cameras I have been using! :)
She was tall, thin, fit, toned, defined, and beautiful!

Modeling the black & gold "Gold 45 Revolver" Gold'N'Virtue swimsuits with the main equation to Moving Dimensions Theory on the swimsuits: dx4/dt=ic. Yes I have a Ph.D. in physics! :) You can read more about my research and Hero's Journey Physics here:
herosjourneyphysics.wordpress.com/ MDT PROOF#2: Einstein (1912 Man. on Rel.) and Minkowski wrote x4=ict. Ergo dx4/dt=ic--the foundational equation of all time and motion which is on all the shirts and swimsuits. Every photon that hits my Nikon D800e's sensor does it by surfing the fourth expanding dimension, which is moving at c relative to the three spatial dimensions, or dx4/dt=ic!

I was reminded of the fun and experimentation one can do with a polarizer and neutral density filter. The ND to allow for longer exposure times during the day, and the polarizer to change the light getting to the camera. The only change between these two shots is the rotation of the polarizer and some adjusting the exposure time (as one has to adjust this when you get all the light reflected from the water).
Subject = a puddle forming in the backyard from drops from the gutter.
Praying Mantis, photographed in Montefalcone Appennino, Italy.
Manual stack from two images. EOS 40D and MP-E65 lens with cross-polarized light (polarizers used on lens and flash).
I got myself a polarizing filter the other day.. and came across the idea of cross-polarization photography. So, on a whim I ordered a sheet of polarized plastic from polarization.com/ to play with. This is one of those unsilvered CDs you get on a spindle of CD-Rs, backlit by polarized light, with the filter on the lens 90 degrees offset.

Winter Golden Hour - 25 images - Olympus E-500 with SMC Pentax-A 50mm 1:1.7 Prime (PK Mount) with PK to FT adapter & Polarizer - Photographer Russell McNeil PhD (Physics) lives on Vancouver Island, where he works as a writer.
These are three linear polarizing filters, one on the light table, one suspended above on film cans, and a third held in between by yours truly.
The top and the bottom filters are oriented 90 degrees apart and, as expected, block transmitted light where they intersect.
But what happens when you put the third in between those two? It transmits light through all three!
If the first polarizer transmits only one polarization, and the last polarizer blocks all light of that polarization, how can putting a third polarizer in between suddenly allow light to pass?
Partial hint: These are all linear polarizers: no circular polarizers here.
Hint 2: the relative brightness of the newly-transmitting region is a hint.
An edit of a photo that I took over 14 years ago with my Canon EOS 30D shortly after I got it in the summer of 2006. The 30D was my first DSLR and my first camera with swappable lenses.
I used the (not very good) EF-S 17-85mm F/4-5.6 IS USM for quite some time until I bought a few prime lenses. This image is from a series of tests I did with my then brand new circular polarizer filter. Revisiting the image, I made adjustments and applied a lookup table in Luminar 4.

Continuing with mediocre cars here on my photostream,but I do like the shot.Mostly because of that polarized headlamps and windshield.I really like how that turned out.Also this is the first Targa I've seen here,even though I expected to see tons of 'em...Aaaaanyway,what do you think about the shot?
Thanks for watching.Comments,suggestions and faves are appreciated.

My photo walk of July 8, 2023 in Lyon, France by a stunning summer day with my Nikon F SLR camera (circa 1964-1965). The guiding idea was to use a circular polarizing filter with a color negative film for all outdoor pictures. I did my photo session between about 2pm to 5pm. The temperature reached 33°C in the afternoon and the atmosphere was very clear and dry.
My 60's Nikon F was equipped with its normal lens Nippon Kogaku Nikkor-S 1:2 f=5cm with is lighter than my later period Nikkor-S version 1:1.4 f=50mm from the early 70's. The lens was equipped with the original Nikkor F metal shade hood specific of the 1:2 f=5cm. For all outdoor views the lens was also equipped with a Hakura 52mm polarizing filter oriented for the best color saturation.
I used a Fujifilm 200 36-exposure negative color film (this film is made in the USA and given with the same technical characteristics of Kodak Gold 200). It was exposed for 50 ISO to compensate the polarizing filter absorption, using an Autometer III Minolta lightmeter fitted with a 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadow areas.

France
After exposure, the film was developped by a local lab service using the C-41 protocol. The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg accompanied by some documentary smartphone Vivo Y76 color pictures.
About the camera and the lens :
This exemplary of Nikon F (engraved "Nippon Kogaku Tokyo") has a serial number beginning by 658xxxx and was consequently manufactured in the mother Oi Nikon factory in Tokyo, Japan, between Dec. 1964 and April 1965. I bought the camera in Feb. 2022 from Japan. The Nikon F body came with the normal lens Nikkor-S 1:2 f=5 cm, branded "Nippon Kogagu". For the photo session the body was equipped with the body shell of a late Nikon F CTT ever ready bag. This body shell holds the original leather neck strap and is made of a metallic shell covered outside by a black leather and a dark-red velvet inside.
When polarized light is used to illuminate an transparent or translucent object made from plastic, which is then photographed using a polarizing filter, the stress lines in the plastic become visible to the human eye. For more information about this, see photography.tutsplus.com/tutorials/create-a-vibrant-light....
Since computer monitors give off polarized light, I hung a plastic object in front of the monitor, letting the light shine through. I then photographed it using a polarizing filter.
