I am thinking about getting a circular polariser for my Canon 15-85mm lens.
Usually (without a polariser) when i want to get an image with the most pop, i try to make sure that the sun is always behind me. This usually gives me a pretty good exposure with nothing blown out etc.
I have been reading about how to use a circular polariser and i found that for maximum effect, the sun has to be either on my left or right? Is this correct? If so, why?
Additionally,
- What happens when you rotate the polariser. Does this just increase/decrease the effect?
- Is a circular polariser a filter that can be kept on the lens continously or do i have to remove it when im not using it? And can it go on top of the UV filter?
- Is there a situation where the polariser will actually produce worse result compared to when the filter is not used?
