Was that what you wanted to achieve?
It's not really what a polariser is supposed to do.
Not meaning to sound...mean :p
 
hi 4wd
as the sun was right in front of me( i had just bought the filter a few days ago) i thought that it might ease the reflection a bit. so i slowly turned the filter and the view darkened and this was the result. i am still learning through trail and error.
won't know if am doing wrong if i don't ask or show the pictures all comments good or bad are good to me
 
If your using a circular polariser your best off being 90 degrees to the sun for it to work it's best.

thank you for your advice i assumed it would work like the sun glasses do if looking with the sun in front of you.
 
Polariser saturates colour... there didn't seem to be enough colour in there for it so saturate. And while the filter may have reduced reflections, what you have got instead is 'a flare' spot, from direct sun reflecting between the filter & front element.
think the filter's worked against rather than for you here.
