Blog Post for September 20, 2018: Polarizer Filter

Unedited, same settings. Image #1 without filter and #2 filter applied. Settings: 1/160s f/16 ISO 500.
I went to do some research on the physics of polarizer filters. To put it simply, polarized light means that only wavelengths at certain angles can be "viewed" by the viewer. Lightwaves travel at all angles and directions. Polarization occurs when a viewing plane is angled such that it filters or blocks some of the lightwaves from entering. The result provides a reduction in glare, reflection, and an added vibrance of colors. It also allows for a "bluer" sky.
