How a Polarizer Filter increases Dynamic Range

How to use a polarizer filter to increase the effective dynamic range of your camera.

You can use a polarizer filter to reduce up to 1.5 stops of light from the sky, therefore allowing you to expose and extra 1.5 stops for the shadows. Doing this will effectively increase the dynamic range of your camera allowing you to capture more detail.

This video has too little views...
Thank you so much for telling all that stuff and going straight to the point. Only 4 min video and all the info that is needed :D

Great vid thanks

Good tips again Jeff

Thanks 👍

Thank you for the video. Just wondering how you reduce the vignetting with a Polarising lens? This is more apparent in the last landscape image in the top left of the image.

[@PolarProFilters]

Vignetting will always be variable based on your subject relative to the sun, your focal length, and the level of polarization. So you would start to adjust any of those 3 variables if you are not liking what you are seeing

Wanted to buy the Helix VND 2-5 but I can't control the CPL without changing the ND as well. Nisi swift could do this individually as their Swift CPL and VND are mutually exclusive. Why do I need this? I film a lot of scenes with screens and phone screens and want to minimise reflections

[@PolarProFilters]

Our VND filters are not polarizer filters, we use CPL film which does not polarize light

@@PolarProFiltersthanks for clearing this up. What "Dunna Did It"'s video said at 9:06 seconds was a bit confusing

[@PolarProFilters]

You got it!

It doesn't increase the dynamic range of your camera, lol. It gets rid of unwanted reflections in the atmosphere which in turn can make things appear more saturated.

[@PolarProFilters]

The polarizer can reduce up to 1.6 stops of reflected light from the scene which enables you to expose an additional 1.6 stops in the shadows, therefore increasing scene dynamic range. Reducing reflections also leaves behind more saturated colors as well

Interesting. @@PolarProFilters

To be fair . It was first said early in the video " increase the dynamic range of your composition" .. then later "increase the dynamic range of your camera" .. So dynamic range of camera is a specs thing won't change. With the change in scene or composition dynamic range . The polarizers allows the camera to be able to capture scenes that naturally have a greater dynamic range than what the camera is capable of. basically"increasing" the usable dynamic range of the camera . That's my 2c. Be good everyone
