Polarising filter? Water shots

[littlemonster]

Hmmm sorry for another equipment question so soon,

However I take quite a lot of pictures with water in them, I gather a polarising filter would improve them?

Is it the best or is there another option?

What is the best? I was thinking of maybe up to £60 second hand for 1, but not sure what it'll get me and as I do a lot of water shots I'd rather spend more and get the best 1st time.

Help needed please

Yep a polarizer will help - out of curiousity what size are you after :shrug: I dont have any for sale but like a challenge in finding a deal.....

I was thinking I'd get it for my 18-105 as thatll be my main walkabout, which is a 67mm

A polarising filter will, in most cases, reduce reflections. If that's what you want. But it can make water go very dark.

It must be a Circular Polariser for digital camera or you autofocus won't work.

Look for a Hoya one you should get a new one for around the money you have. They are great for taking out reflections on water, windscreens etc

I find that much easier to fix though

With the Hoya, is it worth going for the Pro1?

Here you go.... cameraking link on amazon have a Hoya Pro1 CPL for £40 + £4.75 postage... Cheaper than on their own website sometimes

But be quick as I find that these (CameraKing) change their prices quite a bit ....
