I took these 3 images yesterday at about 2pm, using the gold'n'blue polarizer at slightly different positions. Feedback would be useful!

While the last one looks like it might pass for a sunset, it was interesting to note that the moon was visible, unfortunately just out of the frame, as I had taken this at a slight tilt and had to crop it. The tip of the moon can be seen in the 2nd image, top right of centre.

#1 looks the most natural to me, E-A. The color of the sky in #3 looks kind of odd, and something about the cloud doesn't look right.

I like number 3 Elizabeth. You are making me want to move to the Bahamas.

Of course I am biased about these particular shots due to the fact that it is my flag that is flying. :D

You are a great advertisement for the Island.

Cousin. :p

Number one is a keeper. As has been said it looks more natural. I like the clouds. The tower looks better showing the discolored areas (dirt, mold ? ). All in all it just looks good, you even caught the flag billowed out.

But, you were using your goldnblue polarizer. Was this "natural" shot the effect you were trying to get?

Actually, Denny, I do prefer a more natural look. I am finding that this polarizer can do anything from very natural to bizarre effects, am still experimenting. One thing I do like about it is that no matter what, the colours are more saturated, and post processing other than unsharp mask is only minimally needed - usually just a slight adjustment to the amount of red or blue is necessary. I guess as I get more accustomed to using it, I'll get those more accurately too! Definitely having fun with it, I think it was worth the small fortune I paid for it! :D

It's a tad warmer than Scotland here, but I think you would like it :lol:

Interesting effects you get there, it that how things look after a bottle of rum? :) I like the effect of the poloriser, interesting images!
