Ep. 33 Unlocking the Secrets of Circular Polarisers (CPL)

Tog-Talk

Ever wondered how a simple filter could transform your photography?
In this solo episode of Tog-Talk, I dive into the world of polarising filters, answering a listener’s question about their usage and benefits. I explore how polarising filters work, why they’re essential for many photographers, and share personal experiences that highlight their impact on image quality.
Alongside the technical explanation, I reminisce about my early days with Olympus film cameras and offer practical advice for both beginners and experienced photographers alike.
Discover the magic behind polarising filters and how they can elevate your shots. I break down the evolution from linear to circular polarisers and how these filters can drastically enhance your images by reducing reflections and enriching skies.
Final Thoughts:

I wrap up the episode with a reminder about the power of polarising filters for both landscape and portrait photography, encouraging you to explore the creative possibilities they offer. I also hint at future episodes where I’ll cover more technical topics in-depth.
Next Episode: Stay tuned for more photography insights and the return of my co-host Kelly!
