No, no polarizer. I just positioned myself at a point where there were no reflections. The blue sky was real. That's where it came in after adjusting exposure for the highlights. It was a very windy day, which tends to clear everything out. If I considered this shot a keeper, I might pull the sky down a bit.

I meant to ask whether you used a PL on that shot.

That's one very blue sky, and I don't see any
reflection on the clock face, which the sun was
hitting rather directly.

Subject: Shooting with a $500 Paperweight


After yesterday's brief trip to the nature center, I did a short
walkaround in downtown Birmingham with the *istD and the now infamous
DA 16-45. (That's the lens many of us loved last week.) I don't
normally do tests, but I happened to have these saps that lend
themselves well to a 100% crop. I was using autofocus with a selected
sensor. My blip was appearing on the top left portion of the clock,
right near the number 10. Below you'll find the entire pic first, sized
for the web. It's followed by two 100% crops of the image just as the
RAW Converter processed it at actual size The first crop is at f4.5.
1/1500. The second is at f8, 1/350. No, it's not scientific, but I'm
still in love with this lens.
