Polarizer question

[GARYHINDS]

Does anyone use a Polarizer when shooting models outside to get better color or to cut down on reflection. If so does it effect skintones, or do you know something that is good to use if there are any.

thanks

This Shot was Shot Outdoors With A Polorizer.You will Have To Open Up A Few Stops.It Also Will Soften Your Image A Little.

From I gather, they act like a ND with skin tones..They subtract certian types of glare. Which will allow a glare free image with good color saturation..Skys really benifit from this too. The Polorized light is filtered out, so the sky saturation is better..

I don't own one...So my info may be a little off. But it is close.

Dito,It Also Helps To Generaly Give Increased Visual Saturation.I Added About 5%Warming
On Mine.
