Four ways to use a polarising filter
A polarising filter is one of the few filters I still own and more importantly use on a regular basis. It was also the first type of filter that I ever bought but that was way back when I first started photography 25 years ago. Since then the humble polarising filter has hardly changed at all, in fact the only real difference is that there’s now two types; linear polarisers (for film cameras) and circular polarisers (for digital cameras). If you’ve ever used a polariser then you’ll already know how they work. Assuming you have the screw on variety you simply attach it to the front of the lens, look through the viewfinder and rotate the polarising filter until you see the desired effect. What you see is what you get.
