60 Second Photo Tip: Using a Polariser in a Forest

It's been a (long) while but I'm back again, starting with a new series of 60 second photography tips. This first one is using a polariser in a forest to remove shine from leaves to saturate the greens - with a bonus tip showing how to use layers in photoshop to select the amount of polarisation you want.
Hope you enjoy!

So glad to see you back! You are an inspiration to me and many others.

I wish more TH-camrs would do such "shorts", but in the traditional format (not the official Shorts in portrait format, which are of very limited use). The right amount of information, very well done!

[@colinstalker]

I was waiting for this:) Welcome back:)

Good to hear you again. Strangely this posting didn't automatically appear with my subscribers in TH-cam. Good idea; both the format of 60 second tip and using the polariser in a rainforest. Will try, especially as I live in Queensland and looking forward to seeing you more often. Keep on 'Gee Nining'.

Thanks Mike 🙏

nice tip

[@IzzyAbuleelaPhotography]

Love the format and thinking behind this series Ian. I think it will be very useful to many photographers out there, and thank you for the suggested video at the end. I have a confession I recorded a video last weekend and used the phase 'pixels are free', I credited you on camera too... how spooky is synchronous serendipity 😂🙏😂
