Did my (poor) attempt at tongue-in-cheek humor in the middle of my post last week on safety vests start us down this path of photographers who pretend to be trainmasters, etc? I apologize to all for breaching web etiquette by not using the :) emoticon; maybe my intent would have been clearer if I had.
As this was going on, I was going to chime in that my standard headgear are international orange hunting caps, again for visability and safety. But the connection with hunting might have proven controversial, so I held my tongue. But after a long weekend away from email what do I find but multiple firearms posts to SPORRS! Polarizing filters-- use them all the time. Yes, I will plead guilty to being one who has been "brainwashed" into shooting primarily on sunny, blue sky days. I wonder about the "formula" increase in exposure (1 1/3 stops). I have two 52mm thread polas, one requires 1 1/2 stops more exposure, the other 2 stops, in side-by-side comparisons of the same subject, same camera, same roll of film. Like anything else, learn by experience what works best. Increase in exposure can be tough to swallow; we're talking 250th at f4 in the foliage laden east coast with K64.
