I wish all photography tutorials were like yours - simple, realistic and short like this 😂!
Fantastic job!

Oh boy, this brings me back memories of my days at the Photography division of the army

love it! This format is gold: fun and actually useful. The much needed amtithesis to "Welcome to my hour long ramblings about x"

I love this series of videos! I understand and agree with the spirit and priority of brevity here. Some helpful things I've learned along the way: 1. Cheaper polarizers bring baggage: negatively affecting color (often a magenta color cast) and sharpness. 2. On wider angle lenses, due to physics, the polarizer will not polarize evenly across the frame. 3. A polarizer is most effective perpendicular to the sun.

Thanks for the info. . Which co. Or which polariser you will Advise for canon lenses 55-250 and U.W 10-18?

Simple, fun, and to the point! Best of all, it's not uploaded as a "YouTube Short".

[ozthunder]

Thanks, and nice to have a video featuring a piece of equipment I can 'just" afford

isn't linear polarizers now the ones to get for mirrorless cameras?
my understanding
Linear doesn't work well on DLSR why circular was the ones to get for so long but now no more mirrors so we can get the cheaper linear ones.

Sarge, can a circular polarizer slice a ham?

[MarkoKoskenoja]

My film rangefinder came with a polariser fitted. It was... ah... not useful.
