Behold the awesome power of the polarized lens!! Of course, now my eyes hurt from the glare without them on, but it was stilla neat looking shot in the end so hey...
The Las Vegas cityline, from the base of Sunrise Mountain, at 45 miles per hour. No digital manipulation.
The darkness on the edges comes from the circular polarizer not being rotated quite all the way- I think it gives a nice, subtle framing in this case.
This is an interesting apartment building just parallel to Main Street on State Street in Concord, NH.
A discussion came up in a bird thread on the SomethingAwful.com forums about polarizers and birds. I mentioned the Common Grackles (Quiscalus quiscula) that often visit my birdfeeder on my balcony.
Today there three to four grackles hopping around out there so I shot a series of photos with my 105mm macro and a circular polarizer. I just twisted the polarizer randomly while taking sets of photos; this series best represents the effects of the grackles' bright purple irridescent feathers on light polarization.
I shot in RAW and the only processing I did was crop and rotatation (roughly levelling to the security bar out-of-focus in many of these pictures) and whatever LR 3.6 does when exporting to JPG.
As far as I can tell, the effect is basically nothing.
Saw a good sunset, dug out the polarizer and started shooting. Played with exposure and other settings to get interesting effects.

I guess this is not a circular polarizer, because of the strange sky. Has a velvia look to it, thats good because i like velvia. But seriously, the greenest grass i have ever seen. It really is about this green between 1-430pm.
More pictures, learning some more of the settings.
