A dead tree
Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 8:26 pmThis is a picture of a dead tree. I just wanted to show off my new Circular Polarising Filter. Blue skies, nothing but blue skies from now on.

Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 8:26 pmPosted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 8:33 pmBrilliant blue BlikBlink and really pops the greens. I think the shot itself would have more impact had you moved to the left and excluded the distracting bushy tree to the left that clutters the backgound and just had the shorter pine trees as a backdrop. Another possibility would have been to get down and much closer to shoot upwards(wide angle and really have the trunk impose itself

Posted: Tue Nov 22, 2005 9:03 pmThanks for the feedback.
That would have meant I would have had to get off me bike.

Out of interest there is no polarisation of light directly towards the sun or directly opposite the sun. Polarisation of light occurs at 90 degrees away from the sun. This is why it is not advised to use a polarising filter with wide angle lenses as it will probably show varying degrees of polarisation in the final photo which can be unpleasant. They also act as 2 stop neautral density filter making them ideal for moving water.

Seems to happen when I use 70-75% JPG image quality. Doesn't usually show up using this quality on screen but this image it does.

Vignetting can occur on a wide angle lens due to the thickness of the filter being two layers

And thanks Chris.
Now that I think of it it is mainly at wide settings with the kit lens.
