How to Use a Polarizing Filter Like a Pro

In this video I am going to show you how you can use a polarizer filter to take your photography to the next level!

A polarizer filter is essential for getting the most out of your photography. It allows you to get rid of all of the unwanted polarized light that can sometimes make your photographs dull and lifeless.

In fact, a polarizer is one of the biggest secrets that professional photographers use to make their photographs stand out from others.

By reducing glare and reflections from surfaces like water, glass, and even foliage, a polarizer can help you capture vibrant, richly colored images with deeper contrast. This is particularly useful for landscape photography, where managing reflections and enhancing the colors of the sky and foliage can dramatically improve your shots.
In this video, I'll guide you through the science behind polarizers, how they work, and the best scenarios to use them. Whether you're shooting in bright sunlight, near reflective surfaces, or aiming to bring out the vivid blues in the sky, understanding how to use a polarizer effectively will transform your photography. Watch till the end for tips on choosing the right polarizer for your camera and how to properly adjust it to achieve the best results.

Very helpful for anyone new to the principles of light and photography. The props help tremendously!
I always have a polarizer with me “just in case”, as the use of a polarizer when you wouldn’t normally think of doing so is a fantastic tool for improving images.. subtly or dramatically.
