Thanks for a great article and explanation of photography filters, Carl! :D

Great article Carl.

Thanks Carl, great article

Very good. I was wondering why my polarizer had the little "turny thingy" on it. (Not sure if I still quite understand it's use but at least I have one now and can learn as I use it more....;)).

Thanks Carl for the article. Lots of great info!!!!

After placing the polarizer on the lens, look through the viewfinder and turn the polarizer ring to change how weak or strong you want the effect to be. You will see the results in your viewfinder. The maximum glare reduction effect is obtained when you are shooting at a 90 degree angle from the sun.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh...okay. I shot some yesterday of some geese in the water so maybe I will be able to tell how it was set when I get the shots back. I used it also to shoot some daffodils that were sooooo pretty so we shall see how they turn out. Photo lab's machince broke yesterday so I have to wait until they call to get my picture cd's. UUURRRGGG...this is definitely the worst thing about shooting film....W-A-I-T-I-N-G...(usually though I only have to wait an hour ;).) I'll post them for advice when I get them back. Can't wait to see the difference in shooting with a "big ole lens" with a polarizer!!!!

ok where can i find this list on filters?

Hello:

This is a good article, specially the last part of it where it talks about light compensation according to each filter steps.
I'd like to learn more about light compensation when using filters. Do you have any suggestions on where I can fin some more information??

Thanks

Each filter and each manufacturer's filter will be different, but that information should be included with the filter. Do you have a specific one in mind, or just looking for general information?

You could just do a Google search for a specific filter model. There are also books out that cover filters, but that's probably overkill for what you want.

Well done Carl

thanks

thanks again for the great read.
