Outdoor Photography - Using the Blue-N-Gold Polarizer

[IZionDawta]

Well done

[MrShrimp33]

Very useful, informative tutorial - clear and concise. Thanks for this.

[skadoodlez]

Really like this polarizer but i only have a D40 and don't think i could justify the price :(

[StateOwned]

i rather do that by using software.

[postman2paul]

what is the reason you have it on ISO 800?

[alananthonyholmes]

Great video, iv purchased these filters a while back as the washed out example in the clip shown happened me on my first real landscape outing. They are an invaluable, cheap and effective piece of kit. They really bring my photos to a whole different level and i think this video explains it perfectly. Good job.

[iLLEST209]

where can i get those filters? can you send me a link.. good job by the way.

[MPhotoDVD]

@iLLEST209 do a search for Singh-Ray filters and you'll find them



[appacana]

what a big difference with and without polarizer

[stoli288]

this maybe an out of scope question but whats the track's name at the beginning the video? thanks!

[MPhotoDVD]

@stoli288 - can't remember, sorry. It's a stock music track.

[stoli288]

@MPhotoDVD ok no prob! thanks anyway for the answer! absolutely love your videos!

Does this filter fit on the lens that comes with the nikkon d3000???? 18-55 mm I thnik

[MPhotoDVD]

@jackcoke53453 you want to check the diameter of your lens and just purchase that size.

Hi there,

I want to buy a singh-ray blue n gold polarizer but singh-ray don't sell them any more. I can't find any on e.bay either. please could you advise where I can buy this filter. Thanks,

Sam

@ghomashchian as far as I know, they are the only supplier and manufacturer of that particular filter. I would contact them directly to find out when they expect to have them available again.

[BizShoot]

Good stuff.

[wwwsydneycroatianet]

if your going to cheat, why not just change the colour in photoshop

[WatchinDWorldGoBy]

@wwwsydneycroatianet

My guess being that this is a Blue-n-Gold Polarizer, the colors are superimposed on the detail brought out by the Polarizer. The Polarised effect is difficult and time consuming (if not impossible under certain circumstances) to achieve in Photoshop. So using the filter will just save time and effort..

(Tinted) Graduated Filters on the other hand are pretty easy to reproduce in Photoshop if you can take the extra effort of bracketing your images while shooting.

[Clydesdale2045]

@wwwsydneycroatianet This filter adds a magenta cast but then changes only the color of the reflections to blue or gold to varying degrees depending on relation/angle of the sun and rotation of filter. The magenta cast can be removed or simulated from photoshop leaving but the effect of the polarization with some items in the scene having their reflection turned blue or gold, and each item to varying degrees, can not be done in photoshop.

[kennycoll]

Amazing, thank you.

[goclick]

Does anyone other than Sing-Ray make readily available reverse ND grad filters? I know they're highly recommended, but as a hobbyist I simply can't afford to spend that much.

[MPhotoDVD]

@goclick Yes, search at B&H Photo Video for alternate manufacturers

[simoncpu]

Awesome! This is waaaay cooler than Photoshop!

[26dragon93]

What camera are you using?

[MPhotoDVD]

@26dragon93 A Canon 5D Mark II

[26dragon93]

@MPhotoDVD Thanks

[Clydesdale2045]

@26dragon93 Does it matter? Asking what camera was used, is like asking a hair dressor what scissors did they use because your hair came out fantastic! As if the same scissors in your hands will do the same... or asking a painter what paint & brushes they used because you can get the same and do the same work. Doesn't matter the camera, he could've used a Rebel or Nikon and gotten the same thing.

[digitalazia]

@KEBokeh I am landscape photographer as well, I sometimes use filters and sometimes I use bracketing and then blend them gradually in photoshop, sometimes I think this way I don't loose details in the mountains where the filter covers.

But I do agree in some situation just one shot with a filter will give us the result we want :)

[ryanpaulson206]

Where can I buy this filter? What brand is it?

[MPhotoDVD]

@ryanpaulson206

Singh-Ray Filters

[oconnaugh]

Very helpful. Never even heard of a b&g cp filter. Thanks!

[charliebad]

[BlazekStudio]
