This was a momonet from a car shoot, sun was warming down, screwed on a CPL onto the Beast (first time using a CPL in 15 years), and just took two shots straight into the SUN!
What do you think?

CPL Beast INTO SUN/BEACH
Hi,
This was a momonet from a car shoot, sun was warming down, screwed on a CPL onto the Beast (first time using a CPL in 15 years), and just took two shots straight into the SUN! What do you think?
I think you would have got much better results without using a filter - especially a CPL, which has almost nil effect shooting straight into the sun.
What it will do in this situation though, is reduce your contrast, because of all the reflections bouncing around between the filter elements (a CPL is comprised of a piece of plastic polarising film sandwiched between two pieces of glass) Did you take any pix without a filter for comparison? Cheers What's another word for "thesaurus"?
Yes, just one good for display, the other is nearly same, without runner.
THanks for the advise. I thought the CPL would increase the contrast in clouds etc, but didnt know that the direct sun may reduce, rather than increase. No wonder I couldnt see a visual differences while looking TTL with CPL on. 
You dont get a polarising effect with CPL when shooting straight or into or back to the sun...
General rule is keep between 45 to 90 deg axis from the sun. The 90 deg perpendicular lens axis to the sun is most effective polarising zone. Also, CPL are less effective during the 'golden times'. They are very highly effective when the sun is up high shining harsh lights. During midday, you can polarize so much that sky goes DARK!!
Sure looks like "Stella" to me. g.
