[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 251250, member: 12198"] Polarizer in snow covered, foggy conditions or reflections is when to use your polarizer. If you see a rainbow put on your polarizer and turn it until that rainbow colour pops or turn it and rainbow will disappear. Even on cloudy days snow is very reflective and you get a lot more light than you would with a green landscape. I think of my CPOL as my cameras sunglasses. If you have a good pair of sunglasses you'll notice that somethings just look better when your sunglasses are on your eyes, take off your sunglasses and what seemed like a great shot suddenly looks blah, glaringly bright or covered in reflections. Oh in winter is when I use my absolute darkest sunglasses because the glare on the snow on a bright sunny day is far brighter than in summer and can cause snow blindness so make sure you pack sunglasses for your eyes too. While on holidays I came across a lot of beautiful water falls but the sky was cloudy and Blah but I was able to use my CPOL to slow my shutter enough to smooth my waterfalls. It's a small and handy thing to put in your bag [/QUOTE]
