Surely that would only affect polarized light, like glare from reflections, no?
Possibly that's all you're saying (I understand the general purpose of polarized lenses) but it sounded like you were suggesting you could make the whole scene darker -- and thus improve the motion blur effect -- by rotating the lens.
- dylan604 2y ago> but it sounded like you were suggesting you could make the whole scene darker Did you read over this "Bonus points if your sunglasses are polarized."? I'm not talking about regular polarized lenses in your glasses. I specifically said the world sunglasses multiple times. The entire point of sunglasses is to make the whole scene darker. I really don't know how to describe this any more plainly.
- SamBam 2y agoHuh? I'm talking about being able to "dial in the effect." I read that as "dialing in the darkness" (as it relates to motion blur). That's what I'm talking about. Obviously the sunglasses alone make the scene darker. You're the one who brought up dialing it in with polarized lenses.
- dylan604 2y agoIt sounds like you are not familiar with how a circular polarizer works. By rotating the lens, you are changing the angle that the polarizing filter blocks. At one angle you might block the reflections from windows/water, rotating 90° usually will start to effect the sky so the blue gets deeper. So as you rotate your sunglasses, you see the similar effect. "I read that as " that's an issue where you're not familiar with the subject, and have misinterpreted common words used by those more familiar with the subject.

That would be true if the iPhone's lens also has polarization... https://www.seattleu.edu/scieng/physics/physics-demos/optics/polarizers/ https://www.seattleu.edu/scieng/physics/physics-demos/optics... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SIxEiL8ujA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SIxEiL8ujA
- Auracle 2y agoIt’s been a while since I used a CPL but I recall using them to darken the sky, so that would probably affect your overall exposure somewhat.
