Guaranteed I'll think twice before mentioning you again. Coming from a family of teachers and having a teaching degree myself, I forget I am in the minority when it comes to enjoying answering repeat questions. Guess I look at it from a different perspective than many others...it's a chance to show the OP (who is sometimes a newbie) that Nikonites is a friendly forum that will help to further educate him/her by offering a response that is catered specifically to the OP.Here is a video that shows you how it looks through the lens when using a CP filter. If the light is behind you or in front of you, it won't work to enhance the color of the sky. If you have the light coming from the correct direction, you will see the changes in the viewfinder when you rotate the filter. Just be sure to keep watch of your entire scene. A friend invited me to photograph golfers during their tournament. We took group shots of each team of players before they teed off. We were using 35mm film cameras--couldn't see the images until the photos were processed. The sky in my photos was incredibly blue, but the grass looked dull and lacking in the color green because I rotated the filter too much. Had I kept watch of the overall scene, I would have dialed it back a little. My friend's photos which were not taken with a CP filter actually looked better overall because the grass was really green and truer to color.[MEDIA=youtube]0qxrL9SdywM[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
