Would using a polarizing filter be useful in Alpine regions, I have one but I'm not sure whether it would be beneficial or not. I'm off tomorrow.
Good afternoon @strongylodon my friend my short answer is yes don't go without one,using a polarizing filter also reduces the amount of light reaching your camera’s sensor by around two stops, which can either be a benefit or a hindrance, depending on what you’re shooting and the effect you’re trying to achieve. This link will probably explain it much better than I can,have a great holiday and looking forward to your photo's https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&r...=dZwz93C_JXEMv-kzH2sSJQ&bvm=bv.99261572,d.bGQ
Make sure you've got a UV filter as well, Strongy. I only use a polariser [variable double] for the eye pieces on my Telescopes when it's full Moon otherwise looking at it at that phase leaves you with a dark blob in your vision. Have a great holiday and we're looking forward to the pics!!
Polarising filters are very useful to have in your kit. I would always carry one on an expedition, wherever you are going
I have a collection of new to old Pentax lenses [22] and all have UV filters on them if only for protection of the "glass"
My Canon has a huge girth, so needs a 77mm, so quite a monster! I have a UV Haze (sharp cut) Edit: 17-40mm L series lens
I have a UV on all the time but I thought that with bright sun snow and water the polariser might help. Thanks for the advice my friends, I will try to do the scenery some justice with my fz150.
