Hi All,

I have problem with those hazy shoots with my telephoto landscape shot. Other than adding a warming / yellow filter or Photoshop, shooting before the sun high up; what is your technic ?

Many thanks...

A polarizer will help to cut through some of the haze, but the best thing to do is to simply avoid those times of day when haze is most likely to be an issue. Not much else beyond that...

Thanks argyle :)

I just need to get up earlier and shoot while the air is still cold then.

CPL dose make the colour much nicer, I still try to get it right.

A CPL doesn't make the colours "much nicer", but enhances them by getting rid of erroneous light coming into the camera.

A photo of the pacific ocean. The CPL is turned 90° opposite to what I want:

Same location, very next photo, the CPL is turned to what I'd like - less glare:
IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'text/html' | Byte size: ZERO


Sometimes, when using a CPL, you want more reflective glare, to maximise a reflection.

The CPL will help get the best of the colours you are looking for, especially in harsh light.

Thanks Harm,

I can only make the shoot 'darker' with CPL at this stage, and try not to overdone with it.
