Comments on: Heading Out To Photograph The Fall Foliage? Don’t Forget The Polarizer Filter http://regex.info/blog/2011-11-07/1880 Not a photo blog. A personal blog with photos.

Sure, in your snowy versions, the glass-like water enhances the photo… but what if you want to see what’s IN the water? The polarizer is very useful for removing those reflections in the right conditions.

In those regions, I prefer the rendering in “Without Polarizer” ones, where I can see the depth and spread of leaves, not just lump of colors.

Green & yellow regions certainly look better in images “with polarizer”.

You’re probably viewing with a low-quality monitor, or one in need of calibration, such that it’s flattening out all the detail to mush, much like me in one case back a few years ago. —Jeffrey

It might not have made it into the suitcase otherwise.

…and also for the reminder to not always use it.
