Lovely

Lovely shots you got there! The bird in your daughter's hand is very unique! I love it

the picture with the 2 leafs speak out to me...magnificent pictures it is a real beauty too see thanks for sharing.

a few areas where polarizing filters can have have the biggest impact:

* Water – When shooting a picture of water adjusting your polarizing filter will mean you see into the water differently, cutting out glare and even changing the colour of the water. For example when I was snorkeling off a boat off the coast of Indonesia a few years ago I took a series of photos (on my film camera) using a polarizing filter that made the water look crystal clear and a bright blue color. Without the filter the shots had nowhere near the same impact with a big reflection being picked up off the top of the water and a more murky color.

* Sky – Similarly, the color of sky can change remarkably using a polarizing filter. Rotating the filter you’ll see a blue sky change from a light pale blue color to a vibrant and deep blue color (depending upon where the sun is). A polarizing filter can cut out a lot of the smoggy haze that is often in city shots.

* Color – Polarizing filters cut down the reflection that many objects have (even those that you might not think reflect at all). This makes the colors of some of these objects more vibrant. For example out in the garden you might notice foliage on trees looking greener than you would get without the filter.

* Other Reflections – Shooting through glass can be a real challenge at times and using a polarising filter can definitely assist in cutting down distracting reflections or glare. Similarly photographing shiny objects (like a new car for instance) with a polarising filter will change the way reflections are treated.

Interesting
I'll make sure to try it out on my next trip to the mountain







Thanks! It's one of my favorite also



Thank you!
It is sometimes hard to motivate my daughter to do a long outdoors activity, but now she can't wait to go back to the mountain with lots of bird food this time
