How do I use the circular polarizer?
I am using a Hoya one on my Nikon camera. I understand that I need to rotate the filter. But when I did that, after one complete rotation, I still cannot see any difference.
Am I using the circular polarizer correctly?
polariser reduce glare? :dunno:thot only linear polariser need to rotate?
circular, with and w/o shld be able to the reduced glare liao... no need to turn right?
yes, you rotate the filter to see the effects, if you don't see any effects on the scene, means the filter won't work here.How do I use the circular polarizer?

Since we are on this topic, can anyone please advise me on the followings:
1. Should a UV filter be used with a Circular Polarizer?
2. Do I have to take out my Circular Polarizer when using ND filters?
3. If Circular Polarizer and ND filter are used together, does it reduce the quality of the picture?
Help!!!
An easy way to understand linear polarisation. Suppose light is a vertical wooden plank, while the polariser is a net that goes in one direction (either vertical or horizontal). When the net is aligned vertically, you'd find that the wooden plank is able to pass through the net easily, but when the net is aligned horizontally, the plank will be blocked by the net. That's roughly how the linear polariser works. The circular polariser is much more complicated.Linear and circular polariser refers to the plane of polarisation. It does not mean that you do not turn the circular polariser. If you are interested what it means by plane of polarisation, you can read the article in the following link. I've gave up trying to understand it while I was in school.
