You shouldn't be done; MTShooter's help is amongst the very best on the forum. He is someone who would most definitely be missed if he didn't contribute!

Polarizing Filters

Armadillo wrote:

I suggest you check out the link below, this plugin filter has been around for several years.
http://www.xero-graphics.co.uk/content/metagrad.html ZERO GRAPHICS Meta Grad. It comes with an adjustable ND Polarizer effect. Used carefully with selections it can perform miracles. It will not block glass window reflections, like a CPL filter, but corrects a lot of sky problems.

"The benefits of polarizing filters are the same in digital or film photography. While software post-processing can simulate many other types of filter, a photograph does not record the light polarization, so the effects of controlling polarization at the time of exposure cannot be replicated in software."

Polarizing Filters

Armadillo wrote:

Phil,

There are PP filter software filters that can produce the effect of Polarizer lens filters, but in this case the lens filter performs much better.

Good luck,

Michael G

Sorry but this is incorrect; a polarising filter is the one filter that cannot be replicated in Post Processing.

Use of a polarizing filter on a camera w/out a low pass (antialiasing) filter

HeyYou wrote:

Does it make any sense to use a polarizing filter with a camera that doesn't have an antialiasing (low pass) filter ?
Thank you for any advice.

What prompted this question as there doesn't appear to be any logic to it?

Lightroom and the Tamron 150-600mm lens

My LR 5.3 before upgrading to 5.4 and now 5.5 had the Tamron 10-24 in it.

And how is this relevant to the question asked?

If Only My Lens Was Sharper

joer wrote:

Had they been taken with a D800 they would have been different.

This is the key comment in these postings; it is not realistic to compare a camera without a low pass filter to those that have them as it will obviously be sharper.

Nikon D810

DaveHam wrote:

As I recall when the D4S came out a lot of comment - including on this site - was basically why upgrade. Then a few people get to use the thing and start to point out the advantages it has, and this is followed by a swing in opinion and a lot of upgrades.

I suspect the D810 will follow the same path.

I think you're right on that
