Thanks a lot! I have a Neewer filter kit: UV, ND and CPL. However I lost my CPL when I was in Italy in July, so I got another CPL from K&F Concept. I'm happy with them. They don't soften the image or alter the white balance when I put them on, which a lot of these super cheap filters do.
Circular doesn't mean the rotating holder. Polfilter blocks lightwaves in one direction (horizontally, vertically, it depends how you rotate it. This is why you lost some light), circular polfiters have a second layer that scatter the orientation of the waves. Linear Polfilters without it can blinding the phase detection af points if the lightwaves are hitting their sensor in the wrong direction.
6:25 I'm confused how the non-polarized photo took a longer exposure than the polarized photo with all other settings the same... if it lets less light in shouldn't it be the opposite?
Yeah, you're right. I just checked the Raw files and the polarized one is way darker than the non-polarized. So to get the same exposure like the non-polarized one in camera, I should have dropped the shutter speed more to compensate for that loss of light that the CPL induces. But I shot it like that and made it brighter in post. That's why it doesn't make sense at first glance.

Good stuff
Thank you man!
Nice video, Adrian. What magnetic filter system are you using and are you happy with it?

@ Thanks for letting me know, Adrian. Much appreciated!
@@doogieham My pleasure.

I see. Thank you ✌
