Got My Hoya Cir. Polarizer

[Andrew Khan]

I received my Hoya Circular Polarizer from China yesterday, that I ordered on ebay, it had a long journey all the way to the USA (TN), and I got it for only 20 dollars! Here are some results with it! Mainly, deepening blue skies.

I love polarizers. I shoot a lot on the beach, and the effect is amazing. Be careful though, as sometimes it can be overdone.

Modern office buildings have specialized glass in their windows, and when taken too far, the polarizer shows odd artifacts. Here's one in particular:

But here's a clean, wonderful saturated example... Sweet. :)

Curious to know what color packaging these Hoya filters come in? How 'bout a photo of it?

Maybe I should shop in China. I picked up a B&W this weekend and it set me back almost $200.00 bucks. Sure is sweet though.
