Photographer Steve Perry (from backcountrygallery) published a video demonstrating the use of a polarizing filter as well as some tricks and basic information every photographer should know.
Perry starts the video by explaining the importance of a polarizing filter and why it is not possible to recreate the same effect in Photoshop. Of course you should remember that a polarizing filter will reduce up to 2 stops of light but this isn’t such a big issue for nature photographers.
We have looked at different advantages of using polarized filters in the past including “How to Best Shoot Under a Mid-Day Sun” with photographer Bryan Peterson, “Tips for Shooting Through Windows On this video photog” with Gavin Hoey and “Photographing Waterfalls” Sarah Howard.
