Expert insight Part-polarization

Michael says… When shooting with a wide-angle lens (such as 24mm and wider), avoid using a polarizing filter – or at least, not to its fullest extent. You’ll get part-polarization, where some areas of the frame (the darker parts of the sky and water in our seascape shots) will be polarized much more than the brighter side of your composition (the side that’s closest to the sun), leading to an unsightly, uneven effect across the image.
