Polarizers and other filters

Hi Collin David, we normally do not use color filters when shooting BW on a DSLR. Reason: todays DSLRs have built in color filters, which you can use very easily, rather than attaching a filter physically. So also photo programs like Photoshop have a variety and strengths of color filters. But

I use a polarizer when needed - usually when I want a bluer shade of blue in the sky, make the clouds pop, or to cut back on reflections, like on tree leaves, water, shiny metal, etc. A polarizer in the bag can double as a 2 stop ND filter as well. That is the only filter I use on digital

I've been using a polarizer on my 18-55WR and am pleased with the results. I'm wondering how many others use filters (other than UV/1A) on their lenses? Also, if you do bw with the DSLR, do you use your Yellow, Orange, and Red filters as with film? -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List

I occasionally use a polarizer, when I remember to bring it. For waterfalls/slow water shots, I'll use an ND filter. Other than that, I don't use any filters. For BW, all the modifications are done in post. On Sun, Jun 9, 2013 at 8:27 AM, Collin Brendemuehl coll...@brendemuehl.net wrote: I've

When conditions call for it I use a polarizer. Neat thing about digital is I don't need all the other color filters I used on slide film. -Original Message- From: Collin Brendemuehl coll...@brendemuehl.net Subject: Polarizers and other filters I've been using a polarizer on my 18-55WR

I sometime use a polarize. Most often when shooting cars to kill reflections. I also used one the other day when shooting an autonomous vehicle, so I could be certain of a view through the windshield. Sometimes use one to darken the sky for a pic but not often. I never use color filters for BW.
