I really like photos with a nice, deep blue sky and puffy, white clouds that look like they are ready to pop off the page! But how can you get this effect in your pictures?
Many cameras today - including several of the point-and-shoot variety - allow you to attach different filters to the front of your lens. A circular polarizer is a special filter that is very handy for bringing out the bluest skies in your pictures.
To use the circular polarizer, attach it to the front of your lens. As you view your scene, rotate the front half of the polarizer. As you do this, you will notice that the color of the sky changes shades. Depending on the time of day and direction you are facing, this change may be dramatic or subtle. Adjust the polarizer to give you the bluest sky and whitest clouds.
This filter is also great for reducing the glare on water, plants or metal objects, allowing richer colors throughout your picture. Have fun!
