I probably have half a dozen cracked polarizers. When we were getting ready for a solar eclipse years ago, I bought a 15 stop filter and decided to check it out before the eclipse and dropped it while trying to put it in my filter holder. Broke it the day it arrived, two days before the eclipse.
A very useful tool in landscape, architectural photography. Improves saturation and controls reflections. Plus darkens blue sky in camera unless you're using a super wide angle ,then it is much better to darken in post. Sky in too wide of angle looks so unnatural. Thanks for sharing.
Some great tips Paul and some great photos good colours in the conditions keep us learning 👍again your enthusiasm in the conditions is a credit to you 👏👏👏
Thanks again Paul for the lesson. I would love to join you for another workshop but I struggle on rough terrain now. I have good memories of Ellerbeck and Middleton Woods , I might risk another adventure one day.
Hiya Paul, another great interesting and entertaining video! I've been using NiSi filters for a few years now and find them to be fantastic. Really high quality kit, every bit as good as Lee Filters but without the colour cast, even when stacking multiple filters. Top tip though, avoid tightening the polariser to the adapter as you showed in the video. I've had them get stuck many times and be incredibly difficult to undo again, risking damaging the polariser. 👍
Been using NiSi filters for some time and never had an issue with any of them.. Nice to see you doing something a bit different to your usual wildlife stuff 👍
Thanks for the tips and great images. I had two fantastic days photographing woods in the recent fog and got a couple of pictures that I like. The colours were lovely, and the fog gave the woods a spooky atmosphere, so beautiful.
loved the big beech tree! I used to have the Nisi V5 kit, but i found it very tedious to use on the terrain, and the filter holder and adapter rings are quite flimsy and fragile. The glass filters were prone to easily scratch. The kit came with just a standard polarizer that had a warm colour cast, so I purchased the special landscape one that was much better. I didn't get on well with the kit so i replaced it with the Welsh made Formatt Hitech Firecrest (Nisi is Chinese). Much higher quality kit and easier to use. Just my personal thoughts.
Very interesting. I noticed while you use manual focus you don't use focus peaking. Is this special reason? I love focus peaking, cannot focus manually without.
dude that tripod has more leg sections than Pans People !! < really showing my age lol for the efm users, a really nice adapter is the jjc one which is an ef to efm but it has a drop in filter system too, i have alot of end filters like lee squares and round screw ons but never bother taking them out unless its a specific filter shoot with the drop in adapter its much easier and simpler to use, the kit comes with a blank so you can use the camera normally and also has the cpl and variable nd big plus is you can still use your original lens caps and hoods at the same time as the filters

What a great woodland find 🥰 and some great compositions 📷👍

Your face at 3.56 was like a kid in a sweet shop. 😀
Nice shots and thanks for these tips.
Thank you.

Great photos and ideas about shot selection. Personally I prefer with the polarising filters. Keep up the good work 👏

I enjoyed it too. Look after yourself.

Sounds Great . hard to beat a foggy woodland.
Lovely images Paul as always…Nice to see you still putting 1Dx through its paces.🙏🏻

Thanks for the feedback. Very interesting to read.
Thank you. 👍📷😎
I used a polarizer when I had film cameras. But haven’t really needed a polarizer on my digital cameras.

What tripod/ball head are you using in this video?
It's an Ulanzia and Coman Zero Y. The ball head is part of the tripod. I have a link in the video description.
@@PaulMiguelPhotography thanks Paul!
