Most
often when I’m working in Arctic regions, where I know that the skies
are constantly changing, I bring along a high-quality polarizing filter,
which cuts through the atmospheric haze; reduces glare from ice, snow,
and water; and increases the contrast between the sky and the clouds.
Polarizing filters can be used for both color and black-and-white
photography. I find that black-and-white photography often creates a
sense of timelessness, while color photos feel more modern. With
black-and-white, I’m not distracted by shades of color and instead focus
on details and gradations.Use a polarizing filter. When you use a polarizing filter, the image will appear darker in the viewfinder because the filters reduce the total amount of light that enters your lens. A tip to remember is that polarizing filters work best when the sun is positioned 90 degrees to your right or left. They don’t work at all if the sun is directly behind you. If you decide to purchase and carry along a polarizing filter, be sure it’s made from the highest quality glass. If you’re shooting scenes with water, the glare from the surface will be cut and you can see more details below. —Cotton Coulson
