Good info, maybe Ill look into it. Cp filter owns, i use one on every dslr lens i have.

It is definitely a nice car. I still see your wife every once in a while on her way to work driving it. Its definitely not a ragged out car

I need to get some good dark ND filters. You can do some cool things with them.

I need to perfect my use of the CP filter. I'm trying to cut down on reflections.

Yep, I usually leave mine neutral which is about where the words are at 12 oclock on the lens. If its overly hazy Ill adjust or shooting direct into the sun. I got some rainbow shots in Hawaii you couldnt see with the naked eye, was pretty bad ass to see them appear by rotating the filter.

I need to take some time and just shoot the same thing multiple times adjusting the filter. I don't use it much so I can never remember what works best. I think I'll start at neutral like you suggested.

What my photo friend told me, was just focus, then rotate the filter till the image has the brightest colors and least glare, then take shot. Seems pretty easy that way..
