Nice, I like it. I'd think with a polarizer the sky would be a darker blue, especially with your back more or less to the sun.

I really do like E28s. They really are a sharp looking car.

My dad's car, It is a Factory Five. The track day one was done by a pro. And the Seattle one is taken by a Nikon D50(retired) and edited with Aperture. I replaced the D50 with a D7000.

I thought that when you use a polarizer you should be shooting at 45 degree angle to the sun to get the "best" effects.

Love this shot!

I think it depends on the polarizer. It also depends on what your photo editing software does with the white balance.

This was shot with a polarizer, yes, if I remember correctly the sun is at 9 o'clock or so. I left the white balance where it was shot.


This was also shot with the same polarizer but I screwed with the white balance.


This was shot with the sun behind me same lens and polarizer as the shots above.


I usually rotate my polarizer around till the sky appears darkest. Or if I'm shooting into water, till I can see through the glare in the water.

Also really like this shot.

How do you like the D7000? I sort of want one just for video work/backup camera. Have you used the video at all?

That first shot is crisp blackbird!

That first shot is crisp blackbird!

That is Mt Lassen about an hour before Ishot these...










If you look carefully you can see a HUGE solar flare in this shot.








Polarizers and filters are fun ;)

I really like the D7000, it is a great camera. But I HATE trying to take videos on it. I have the extra power pack attached which has a portrait shutter button which I really like. Plus I don't think that a camera should be a camcorder.

There is a reason Nikon doesn't make video cameras. (As far as I know.) Using a DSLR for video is the dumbest idea I've heard of in a long time. Its the wrong shape, its all kinds of bad. Yes, I know people do it, but I still say using a DSLR for any sort of video is the dumbest thing I've heard in a long time.

Yes the D7000 is a good camera, but I might go for the D600 if/when its released, that is as long as its not geared toward video the way the D800 and D4s are.
