[ajayalmighty]

Very cool

[lokingloking]

and when you dont watch screen whats going on...ld say nothing?

Did you make this video at gunpoint?

[lolreallylongusernam]

At 0:03 Why did someone cock a gun?

[sjphs]

@lolreallylongusernam stop it or i'll shoot!

[BeautyOfVisual]

Cool, that works with old B/W LCD's too :D

[Pistolero1983]

Tiffen and Hoya are owned by the same company but Hoya are higher quality filters.

[goldenboi24k]

Tiffen doesnt make good filters

[gizsurfer]

This only does this because the computer screen is linearly polarized and the circular polarizer consists of a linear polarizer glued to a quarter wave plate. On this occasion the linear polarizer is facing the screen thus the light passes through this causing the disappearance. If you did it with an unpolarized source or just the quarter wave plate there would be no difference which is what the circular polarizer is meant to do.

[BlueDragon4484]

lol wut?

[alkamenis]

This is a linear polarizing filter...Circular polarizers cannot do that.

[philippebaetens]

@alkamenis

thats not true i have a circular and i can do the same

[ReikaiDemon]

Words with reald-3d glasses to, just view from the front, and turn the frames at a 45 degree angle

[brookiethebandgeek]

that's because real d 3d glasses are polarized lenses.

[XxXellusionistXxX]

k im COMPLETELY new to photgraphy. i can take pics and i have a pint and shoot but thats it im new to the epquitment adn DSLRs. so dont get mad when i say this. Whats the difference between a uv filter and polarized filter. Wich one is better?

And if this helps im getting a nikon d60.

[3312cdfp5674]

maybe you should learn some grammar first.

UV cuts out UV light, it looks clear. polarized will remove the reflection. get UV if you want to just protect your lens.

you can stack filters

[XxXellusionistXxX]

Uh huh. you did not start any of your phrases with capital letters. And you did not end some of your sentences the proper way. I was tired that day, so... SUCK IT.

[3312cdfp5674]

i was about to go sleep and at least mine were more "proper", so u can suck it back

[XxXellusionistXxX]

I have no clue what you are trying to prove, I can spot a bunch of errors in your sentence.

[3312cdfp5674]

then you are indeed very stupid

[Shadeszilla]

if you turn it around and do the same thing, does it cause the polarization to reverse?

[kuujjuaqlb]

This is amazing, I just bought a Sigma circular polarizing filter and I don't know what I am doing wrong, but the color does not change as I move it around. It is a 58mm, I need some advice on wht my problem is. thanks

[DCity17]

Thats pretty slik!!! :P gunna try that with mine to see what happends. but mines a hoya so, dunno if it'll be the same?

[NikonandCanon96]

yo my polarizer doesnt do that when i twist it.... you know like when it gets draker and lighter like yours

[glebec]

Um................. I *assume* you are doing this in front of an LCD screen? Because the polarizer itself isn't changing, it's just being held at a different angle to the completely polarized light from the LCD.

my camera became like a totally different and new one with circular polarizing filter, the difference is incredible, nothing contaminating the results anymore. Better natural colors, lot more range before clipping and so on. A must.

[Ciorin]

Yes, a must! but remember removing the filter from time to time. It's not alwayis suitable.

I prefer it for the dynamic range improvement, more than colour enhancement, cause you can manage this last feature with post-processing software like lightroom or photo scape.

Though..if you don't like post-processing, POLARIZING IS IS A A MUST MUST INDEED INDEED, as you say, but even more!.

[metalaxiz]

Thanks! datz a great answer/advice!

I need to try my hands on one soon.

[Deporcali23]

hey am a starter and learning about photography wat dose ths do ???

[triniclemist90]

With them, you can make the blue sky bluer and remove haze. They can make water look less hazy too. And, they help remove reflections. Look around on google and you can find a lot. one important thing is that if your SLR or DSLR has auto-focus (i'm guessing it does) you need the circular polarizing filter because the other type will not allow the auto-focus to work properly

[Flurinamsler]

polarizing filter -> For me a must-have! I am loving it!

Cheers!

[Flurinamsler]

Going to buy a Circular Polarizer Filter soon!

Cheers!

[metamaterial]

It will work, just much less obviously because it's only blocking the left- (say) polarized component of incoming light. Since few things in nature do the same, for the most part you just block half the light coming in. However if you put a piece of plastic in between the LCD screen and the lens, the effect shows up well.

As for the effect seen here, if the 1/4 waveplate is facing the camera as I suspect, then it should be visible to the eyes as well.

[metamaterial]

That's the intended effect ^ ^

[sergey444]

so is that the kind of filter you would use to add more contrast and stuff to trees, sky, and clouds.... scenery photography?...

[metamaterial]

The circular side was facing you, though, so it was effectively a linear polarizer.

[esnax]

how does that work?

[jiggi4]

the circular polarizer simply blocks or unblocks light as you rotate it

[ferditrox]

impressive! thanks for the demonstration.
