filters

[jerrythesnake]

does anyone use a filter of any kind for outdoor shots to help with glare? when i am photographing snakes in the wild i get so much glare from their bodies it ruins many shots. just wondered if anyone uses filters on animals or bugs?

same here.............

come to think of it a circ ular polarising filter may help with the glare (reflection) on your shiny snakes

Just make sure you have plenty of light, as using a polarising filter will cost you a couple of stops. Meaning your shutter speeds will need to be slower.
