Polarizing Lens Filters are Magic
by E. Walter Robinson ~ October 23rd, 2008
I was traveling around Lake Tahoe and taking pictures, but I kept getting distracted and would occasionally forget to adjust my circular polarizer (lens filter). I’m glad I did, because it gave me a chance to see the difference between using it correctly and forgetting to rotate it. Check this out:
(Top - Without rotating) (Bottom - With Rotating)
I think the difference speaks for itself.

Don’t you just love it when “mistakes” lead to really great things?

Of course, there is a difference. I like the top one better, since it looks more natural to me. What do you say now?

Actually, I go back and forth between the one I like best. Since it is Tahoe, the bottom one actually reflects the natural colors very well, while the top one catches a lot of glare.
I can say, however, is that the difference was pretty surprising.
