Things You'll Need:
- 35mm SLR camera (analog or digital)
- A polarizing filter of the correct size to fit the front of the camera lens
-
Step 1
The Polarizing FilterScrew the filter on to the front of the camera lens as you would any filter. You will notice this filter is different than most filters. It has an adjustment rim on the front of the filter. View your subject through the camera. In single lens reflect cameras you will be able to see the changes in the view finder immediately.
-
Step 2
Image Without FilterTake a number of exposures adjusting the filter between each exposure. This will allow you to view prints or see screen images to determine the impact of the filter.
-
Step 3
Image With FilterNotice the change in sky and the appearance of the rocks. Try taking pictures through a window and use the filter to minimize the glass reflections.
