Take a look at the below before / after images: The effect of polarization cannot be reproduced or simulated in post-processing, especially when dealing with natural reflections. Thus, you could turn a sky from light blue to very dark blue or increase/decrease reflections by simply rotating the filter. Rotating a polarizer allows certain types of light waves to pass through, while blocking other ranges of light waves. ![]() ![]() Polarizing filters work by blocking certain light waves from entering the lens. A circular polarizer is very easy to use and once you attach it on the front of your lens, all you need to do is rotate it clockwise or counter-clockwise to get a different amount of polarization. For all normal lenses that have a filter thread in the front, you can get a circular polarizing filter, also known as a “circular polarizer”. A polarizer can reduce reflections from objects such as water and glass and can be used to darken the sky, bring out the clouds and even reduce atmospheric haze, making the scene look much more vivid. It is typically the first filter landscape photographers buy to instantly improve their pictures and and add vividness and contrast to them. A polarizing filter is a must-have tool for landscape photography.
