Penning Photography Daily

I used a circular polarizing filter for this one.

Just like polarized sunglasses, a polarizing filter blocks light from a certain angle from your camera. Blocking haze and glare from a lake are two reasons to use one. A circular polarizing filter, allows you to change what type of light is blocked. This really is too simplified an explanation.

In this case, using the filter allowed me to get better definition in the clouds and sky without the whites blowing out, being too bright, in the cloulds.

A local farm scene. The farmers around here, have been confounded by the wet Spring. Planting is very late. I worry about the low yields as a possible result.
