the power of olympus pen
no image manipulation,
no other shortcuts.
i used a hoya polfilter,nothing else.
fresh " out of the olympus pen ".
for more details,please look the exif.
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).

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.
I didn't know how to crop this headlight abstract, so I just left it as-is, full-frame.
I enjoyed all the lines and nuances too much to get rid of them. Post suggestions, but please limit the crop notes. Thanks!
Notice the [inverted] 20D with 550EX attached in the in focus headlight.
If people have split views about your work, I think it's flattering. I'd rather have them feel something about it than dismiss it.

Ithaca Falls Detail - Not a lot of water but very nice details of flow and cascade. Often too much water here for this type of image.
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.

Wish I had my polarizer with me. Left it in the hotel.

Dedicated to preserving the stories and sacrifices made during the attack, the memorial highlights the pivotal role of Pearl Harbor in compelling the U.S. to enter World War II. It safeguards the USS Arizona, USS Utah, and USS Oklahoma memorials, while sharing powerful stories of heroism and resilience.
The memorial's interpretive themes help visitors connect to the global and personal impacts of the Pacific War, ensuring the lessons of the past endure for future generations.
An iPhone 6 screen, 100% white. Circular polarizer on a 100mm macro lens, out of focus. Just the right angle and...bam!
2+ min exposure with Lee Big Stopper + Polarizer + 3 stop ND Grad. Tide coming in faster than I hoped with this and with the tripod standing in water by the time the exposure finished.
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.

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.

Here you can see the effect of what a polarizer can do. The picture on the left is the before shot and the picture on the right is the after shot using the polarizer. As you can see it cuts the watery surface glare to reveal the beautiful reef beneath it.
PS. Sing Bih, something like this?
I was inspired by Debbie’s beautiful sky from yesterday photo and used an old polarizing filter from Penelope’s stash.
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.

Pretty Goddess modeling the new Sony A7R ! Swimsuit Bikini Model Goddess Shooting Stills (Sony A7R with 35mm F/2.8 Carl Zeiss Lens) & Video (Sony NEX6) at the same time with the 45surfer philosophy bracket! I use it on every shoot, as there is so much beauty in the world and so little time, so you might as weill shoot stills and video at the same time! :) Writing a book on it! :)
A warm Malibu December when the sun satys low all day, allowing us to shoot at noon as if it was 5 PM in the summer!
Here's some video shot at the same time as stills using a Sony A7R for the video camera:

Photos shot with the Nikon D800E and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens with the B W 77mm XS-Pro Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with Multi-Resistant Nano Coating filter. I always, always shoot with a CP filter--even on cloudy days!
Enjoy the pretty goddesses and all the best on your epic hero's journey!
Modeling the new 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!
The models were tall, thin, fit, and gorgeous beach goddesses! A blond and a brunette with long, long silky hair! Poseidon would approve! If he were shooting them, he'd want to capture simultaneous photographic stills and video at the same time too.
Best on your hero's journey from Johnny Ranger McCoy! :)
Falling in love with the full frame 36 megapixel e mount Sony A7R! The models make pretty photographers. :)
Nikon D800E RAW photos finished in Lightroom 5.3. Malibu December!
The cool thing about daylight rodeos? You have enough light for a long, slow lens and a polarizer. And guess who got a polarizer for the big lens just in time for the rodeo?

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.
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.
