It always depends on what you are trying to achieve. Slower exposure times; use an ND. Reduce or kill reflections, use a CPL. Do both, use both.

That said, you will want to put the CPL on first, adjust it for effect, then add the ND filter and adjust exposure. Of course, you want to ensure the CPL filter is in the original position after adding the ND filter. I use a silver Sharpie to place some marks on the outer ring of the CPL. It's easy to see where those marks are after adjustment, and return the filter to that position after adding the ND filter.

Note, I'm not saying to do the marking for this exposure; just having some marks for reference makes it easy to return to approximately the same position.

As an alternative, you could use tape to lock the CPL in place; piece of gaffers tape would do the trick. That's just another thing to fiddle with, which is why I just marked up the filter.

The marks can be easily removed with alcohol or goo-gone, if you decide to sell your filter in the future.

No problem. Two filters should not be a problem. You can have some issues with vignetting on super wide angle lenses and a very slight reduction in image quality as there is more glass.


Thanks for your input Fetzler.

As several posters have said, put the polarizer on last in a stack. FIRAT IT WILL BE EASIER TO STAK THE ND and polarizer. It will be easier to remove the stack and in stack the filters. And finally, it is easier to set thee polarizer as you know it's the last element instead of fumbling around for it. Twist a whole stack to set a polarized mounted first could damage the filter or camera's mounting ring.


I concur, I is my plan to place the C-pol on last.

My thought was to place the ND First, and add on the C-pol.

So put the ND filter in the front! WOW, that was really hard.


My thoughts too..I'll probably try it both ways and see what happens

i wouldn't do it myself but i can't argue with the logic involved in the very first reply!


I plan to try it the next time I'm at a kinda choppy lake on a bright day.

If they are both very high quality, multi-coated filters, should work fine. In fact, it's a common technique to do so, when the ND filter alone isn't quite strong enough... Or when wanting both to reduce light (ND) and cut some reflections or glare (C-Pol) in a scene. ND filter alone can't do that. OTOH, there are times when you don't want to reduce reflections because they are an important part of the image', so will want to avoid a C-Pol.

Test on your lens to see if you have problems with vignetting when the filters are stacked.

I also wouldn't use a "Variable" ND in combination with a C-Pol. Variable ND are essentially double stacked C-Pol and are already prone to uneven effects... adding a C-Pol to that would probably make for even worse unevenness issues.

Contrary to an earlier response, there's no problem adjusting a C-Pol when it's stacked with another filter.

Thanks amphoto1, I'll let you all see the results when next I encounter the scenario.

Welcome to the forum! You will find that this is a great place to learn. Your deer shot is great - very well done. I agree that the water shot has to be level but it is a shame to lose the little boat. With some software you could straighten the shot keeping the boat and fill in the missing areas - could be something to work on in the future. It is a striking shot!


Thanks Cwilson341 I tried with all three of my editors and all of them chopped off the little boat..lol My focus wasn't really on the foreground but on the sky, I just thought the boat was a good addition. until someone mentioned it I didn't even realize the horizon (waters edge) wasn't level..And that shot took a third in the County Fair..lol
