      Politics do distract, but if you do not know what is going on than how do you keep affording cameras if you do not have work in the future? Find another job, but how? If you do not even know what was going on in the first place and where everything went? :P

    Been watching CPL based videos for years. VERY FIRST VIDEO where the angle of use is mentioned. NONE of the "popular" channels have mentioned it, at least not the videos of said channels I've watched. I would stated that the CPL does work between 45°-90° not just the mentioned 90°. Moreover, the effect is most powerful when the sun is out not on a completely overcast day, on those days the polarizer can make the shot warmer. Thumbs up!

    I enjoy the effect of polarizers sometimes but utilizing reflections on glass, water, ice, metal, etc actually plays a pretty big role in the style of photos I like to take. There are times when a polarizer can really come in handy but for what I typically do, I usually stick to a lone ND filter or no filters at all.

    For some of the shots people use a CPL for, can be done in post processing like in increasing sky blue and increasing overall color saturation‘s like let’s say for instance if you’re doing the landscape shot

    Love seeing a new video, been a while :D Just a quick question: What focal length did the lens you took the picture at 2:14 with have (assuming you took the picture)? I really want to be able to take photos like this without having to crop too harshly but I'm not sure where to start. I'm guessing it's somewhere between 100-200mm?

I'm a newbie researching filters now that I finally found means to mount them to my point-and-shoot, but I'm guessing the image in the rather well-lit example picture at 1:08 was taken also with an ND filter to capture the moving water? Or maybe some CPL's that are more light-blocking than others?

    I find it hard to see the difference by eye, when rotating a circular polarizer on a mirrorless camera.
    Maybe it's the bright sunlight?
    I rely on the histogram on my Sony cameras, with strongest effect = histogram most to the left.
    Do you have a better method?
