Wah seh, then I wonder why they put the EV control into the camera for?+evenstar said:no need to adjust EV since exposure sensor is inside the camera
A polarizer has two rings. The bottom ring screws on to the front thread of a lens, and the top ring is rotatable. As the top ring rotates, one can see the effect through the LCD monitor.
niki said:this is taken from the article from the threadstarter. then DSLRs ...u gotta take a few times to compare the effects? i know it sounds stupid, but is there a more effective way of viewing the polariser effect?
i also noticed from my polarisers, they rotate, yes. but i dun really understand how the markings work. my hoyas hv a white strip, kenkos hv a white arrow.
if this has been discussed before, then nvm. thanks.
I started with a P&S but only used polarizers and other filters when I got my prosumer.niki said:mariner,
r u using a p&s? thanks for ur reply
nope, the effect can be seen through the VF...try it on your LCD screen/TV/watch/calculator/etc and you'll see the effect..niki said:i'm using a dslr.. when when i rotate, i dun see any diff... so i assume i gotta take the pics 1st b4 seeing them?
Note the angle of light you're cutting off at, certain angles you cannot see anything. Best recommended angle is 90 degrees from the sun.niki said:i'm using a dslr.. when when i rotate, i dun see any diff... so i assume i gotta take the pics 1st b4 seeing them?
And, IIRC, try to put the sun behind you for greater blue skylight effect. That's mean it is better to take photos in the morning or afternoon (not when the sun on your top).AncientMariner said:I use the white strip as an indicator of where to start by turning it towards the sun.
Then I adjust by rotating the outer ring until reflections are gone or colour/contrast is to my satisfaction, viewing through the viewfinder.
your camera metering will automatic adjust to get it's exposure.DeWei said:Hi all, I just bought a Hoya CPL, I found that the image turn out to be darker then the normal, may I know what is the recommended camera setting when we use this filter? such as +0.3EV? Or is there any good resources to teach us how to use CPL? Thanks.

if i'm not wrong may due to the colour casting for the CP...DeWei said:But I consistently get darker images, but if I set to +0.3EV, then it should be alright. :sweat:

as espn said, it's 90 degrees (on the same plane) from the sun, not 180 degrees (sun behind you).Artosoft said:And, IIRC, try to put the sun behind you for greater blue skylight effect. That's mean it is better to take photos in the morning or afternoon (not when the sun on your top).
