Was curious about using a polarizer lens. Bought a Tiffen Circular Polarizer. Sure makes the sky blue. Also stopped the lens flare. Kind of hard to screw on though. Because it moves, you have to turn it like a dial to get best picture, had trouble attaching to camera.
My camera has a filter attachment, and I discovered that it takes 55mm filters. I just so happened to have a 55mm circular polarizer in my old camera bag (that I used with my Minolta Maxxum 35mm) so I attached it to this camera and took 2 shots of the mud puddle.
I "merged" the 2 photos to show the effect of the polarizer. The top half of the photo is with the polarizer and the bottom half without. Amazing how much shinier the bottom photo is. The top is much clearer... as clear as mud! :)
It was a bright clear day today, with a lot of flowering trees. It was definitely worth the wait, for the long winter to be gone, seemingly for good.
Polarized JULIET Sunglasses
Flex couplers allow this 25-piece blend of X METAL® and art to fit naturally around the skull. The adjustable frame includes temple shocks, interchangeable nosebombs, and all the innovations that sculptural physic...s can offer. Chiseled intake ports bolt the contoured orbitals around pure PLUTONITE® lenses to retain the precise geometry of XYZ OPTICS®.
Our polarized lenses are specially engineered to block the blinding rays of glare that are magnified by flat surfaces such as snow, water and pavement. Oakley polarization technology utilizes a liquid infusion process to bond the polarizing filter at the molecular level. That’s how we eliminate the haze and distortion found in conventional technologies and achieve the best polarized sunglasses on the planet.
JULIET features Oakley HYDROPHOBIC™, a permanent lens coating that prevents rain and sweat from building up on the lens. It also repels skin oils and other contaminates, so the lens is smudge resistant and easy to keep clean. It even eliminates static electricity, so dirt and dust particles won’t cling.

This is evidence that my circular polarizer was worth the extravagance. That I have used it incorrectly is something you must not point out; not unless you like having your toenails plucked out.
Even though I successfully managed to alter this picture in Photoshop and get rid of the blotch in the bottom right corner, i think it looks better with the natural defects. It was, after all, shot from a moving car. So theres only that much one can do.
I feel happy when i see this. Feels like one of those rollercoaster turns. And I like the arrangement of the motorway lamp-posts.
This was an interesting set up. I had seen a article on doing this but through some bad editing it omitted a vital element. You need two devices to polarize the light. One obviously on the lens but you also need one between the lightbox and the fork. The real background here is white, it is the effect of the two polarizers making it black.

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.
