Filters are important for seascape – Look for Lee Filters …?

My Landscape Tool – a Circular Polarizers

beside standard tools tripod, release cable, ….I using different filter for different situation and effect … e.g. I use super ND to clear silky effect on sunny day which discuss here.

I also make use of CPL to get better colors contrast, reflection, shot the clearness of the water …. sometime I do use it as ND filters too (2 stops) …

 

 

e.g. of the highlight of the coconut tree leaf on sunny day

without CPL
with CPL but simply turn
with CPL and turn/rotate to make less reflection/highlight

the usage of the CPL just like Photography, it never have right or wrong … it just what you prefer to see … but above e.g. is to show how we use to reduce the highlight of the reflective part of the coconut tree leaf

 

another e.g. to show the water reflection and the saturation of the overall picture

CPL on with rotation for reflection
CPL on with rotation for clear water capture

both sample above show different effect can be archive by rotating the CPL…..

For me, if you serious in Landscape CPL is a necessary tool that always near you so you can have what effect you would like have which not easy archive by other filters or post processing ….
