Does anyone have an example of a soaring video taken with a polarizing lens on the camera?



It's interesting how we never see most of those canopy reflections with our eyes. The reflections are there, but our brains filter them out and patch in something from the surrounding texture. I'd guess that something could hide behind a reflection and we would never know it.

I have the Contour GPS camera fitted with a circular polarizer filter that has an effect on the glare from the interior of the canopy. Although reduced brightness and glare, you can still see the reflections inside. I believe it helps with contrast of the exterior view. I have not done much with this camera yet as the mounting in my Discus has not been totally figured out. I will do more recording this season.
