A shot of the sea from the window of the jet plane through a polarizer. You will witness this effect too if you have a sunglasses with a polarized coating.
Let's just say I'm short of a smc polarizer... Said part is I just found it like that in my camera bag. Five week ago I almost got a spare one from Calumet as they were liquidating stocks. Oh well..
Yesterday i had a bikini shoot with Bianca ....but when we hit the beach the wind was blowing an absolute gale that all my plans and ideas went out of the window. I was feeling quite fed up ......until this caught my eye ......and i thought ......hmmm, this might save the day! I still think i would have preferred a wet model in the waves ........but next time maybe!
This diptych shows how you can use a polarizing filter to deepen colors when shooting foliage. The top image has the polarizer rotated to minimize sunlight reflected from the leaves, resulting in deep green leaves with red veins. The result is closer to what my eyes see than the bottom image, in which I've rotated the polarizer 90 degrees to accentuate the glare. The leaves look shiny and almost white. Although I don't show an example, shooting without the polarizer results in an image much closer to the bottom image than the top. So, if you're trying to capture the color of foliage (for example, fall leaves), you might want to add a polarizing filter to your bag of tricks.

One of two shots I took to demonstrate the effect of a polarizer filter. This shot was taken without the polarizer, and the reflection of the tree silhouetted in the sky and the colourful leaves is very dominant.
Shot taken during a photowalk in Vancouver's Queen Elizabeth Park, October 2006.
My photo walk of June 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.
Three things that are neat in this image. Strong magnet disrupts the magnet in the iPhone and the polarized lens on the camera disrupts the polarized light coming from the phone.
Discovered a cool and easy thing to do if you own a circular polarizing filter, and an iPad (or any tablet) or laptop. The first step is to take your tablet or laptop and lay it so the screen is facing up. You then make the screen totally white. ON my iPad I downloaded an app called "Droid Light" to do so. On a laptop you could jut open a blank doc. Next, you take anything made of clear plastic. I chose forks, obviously. Lastly, put the polarizer on your lens. You'll see the effect immediately in the viewfinder by rotating the filter. You can see more examples here in this Album: Polarized
It's my children's toy, plastic polarizing lens.
I played with it, more than children (^^;)

I was out with family today and tried to snap a few good shots. This is my sister-in-law. I really like this shot except for the shadow under the eyes and the fact my niece stepped in the frame.
About the shadows... I don't like soft diffused light! I don't want to go in the shade or take portraits on an overcast day to only get blown out skies. I just need to get more practice I guess...
Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like you just suck as a photographer? Today was one of those days. Thankfully my niece and nephew ended up going to their Dad's house and I didn't take their photos as planned.
