Hi!

Im shooting a speedboat tommorow out on Plymouth Sound, and just realised i dont have a polarised filter, and have no chance of getting hold of one ANYWHERE as its a bank holiday.

Is there anything i can hold infront of the lens (like welding glass as ND filter) to stop reflections coming off the water ?

Thankyou.

Lol.

You need to stop getting hung up on kit. Plenty of people can take great pics without a circular polariser, D300, etc etc.

You're acting like you can't take a decent picture without a polariser. Tbh you just can't take a decent picture and need to focus on composition and technique...

Just take your camera and try and get some decent shots.

Mate shut up, ive improved tons lately. Im taking a picture of a speedboat doing around 20 knots in the middle of plymouth sound, if its sunny there will be reflections galore. I know exactly what a polariser is and what it is used for, and the picture is important, its almost paid work except im doing all work for free as

a. im not a pro

b. i can use them for portfolio.

c. its a friend

I will try using my avatiors, just hope they arent too dark, thankyou!

I still have the 18-70 and 70-300, and a tripod, too, im planning on setting up on the edge of breakwater (near mt batten).

Thanks for the shots, dont need a polariser then

Did you use a polariser in that picture ?
