Polarisation, at last!♦


I purchased a polarisation filter for my camera (a Pentax digital SLR) late last week and I just can't understand why I left it so long! This picture (now my desktop)was taken last Sunday.
If you have a camera and take the occasional scenic shots, "You just gotta have polarisation." The difference, in tonal range "before/after" scenes is quite startling, with shadow detail improved and delicate colors recovered through cancellation of reflection.
I'd just love to go back through my travel pic files and "fix them".

The scene is the Barossa Dam (on the edge of Adelaide)and is a lovely spot, practically hidden in a hillside eucalypt forest.

The color is most impressive. Great photo. I must look into this as I do take many pictures. Most are not this clear.
