Birding with Circular polarizer on Telephoto lenses … why ?

Nikon C-PL1L (52mm) & Canon PL-C52(Wii)

I like to use CPL on my landscape, and I ask myself do I need one for my birding and based on my understanding … I MUST have one 😀 … and I bought one for test …. (results from last years testing and now only I have time to share this)

beside getting better reflection … I seldom do wader photography … so not rally have test result … but I found it is very useful in the forest ….

let’s picture tell the story

we always have reflective leafs create “white spots” that we really hate to have .. e.g.

without CPL and Background reflective leafs create white spots
without CPL and Background reflective leafs create white spots

that I add in CPL and reduce the flare direction

with CPL rotate it to minimum flare ... the white spot gone :D
with CPL rotate it to minimum flare … the white spot gone 😀

or another sample of our GEM of forest Garnet Pitta

without CPL or without rotate CPL to minimum flare
without CPL or without rotate CPL to minimum flare
with CPL rotate to minimum flare ...
with CPL rotate to minimum flare …

a simple video record while rotating the CPL

you can obviously see how the CPL help me 😀

 if you interest on CANON PL-C52 (WII) or NIKON C-PL1L (52mm) feel free to contact me .. as I got limited units available
