I went out and got some pics at a country park at the weekend just to try different settings and get used to the lens a bit. Some were of water and the obligatory ducks were used as targets for the pics, but there was glare coming off the water. If I had been looking for proper shots rather than disposable ones would it have been possible to have saved any in photoshop? I have got elements 3 but don't know where to look!
 
If you could post up an example or two to give people a better idea the it'd probably help.
I'd invest in a Circular Polarising filter if it were me & I found myself shooting this kind of thing a lot - the filter will vary the amount of light is entering your lens from different angles (this is adjusted by turning the front of the lens) Really technical explanation there :lol:
This results in less/no glare from water (you can adjust the filter so as the water becomes transparent) & it also means that colours may be adjusted accordingly - skies made deeper blue, etc. Very useful filters to own :thumbs:
 
Thanks, I think I may still have one at home, will post it tonight. I am getting a filter in case I do take that sort of thing again. I was practicing the technical things like turning the bits on the lens so was not bothered about the glare at the time :lol:
 
This has got the glare, I know the settings were wrong, but they were wrong deliberately so I could see the differences!

Thanks, thats a good one to remember :)

Interestingly they did not look as bad on my work computer as they do on the lappy!
