Today on my lunch, using my Nikon 9050 camera on "scene" setting. I took 4 pictures. Top Left normal no filter, Top right with polarizer only,
Bottom left NDX2 only, Bottom right polarizer & NDX2 filters.
I didn't have a tripod to hold camera, so I placed it on the dash. And I held the oversize NDX2 filter in front of polarizer to get some pictures. Crude but effective! I'll be buying a ND filter set for my larger camera to improve my pictures.
Which do you like the best?

It's interesting that adding a filter warmed up the image a bit. The top right image seems better to me.

I carry my Samsung compact camera with me at work. I get a lot of glare on the screen, so I'm trying a screen glare guard. It does take out a lot of the glare when composing my pictures. And I can take it off when shooting at night or inside.

Just went outside and set up my Samsung camera to show the difference "without & with" the glare guard shield!

I can see the difference! Should make composing photos easier now. I bought this from Amazon amazing little things on there!
Have a nice day!

I downloaded the app to my Samsung cell phone and linked it up to my Samsung camera. Now I have a remote trigger to take better photos with a tripod with less camera shake! This photo was taken inside my house today, using natural lighting. This is my buddy "Larry" on the floor.

That's cool!
- Cameras with wifi and NFC are going to be the next big thing. At first I thought it was a gimmick, then i realized what I like most about my cell phone camera (the ability to use a variety of apps) can then be applied to a real camera with a real lens.

Looking at getting either the Go Pro 3 Silver or the Ion Pro 3, want to strap it to my fire helmet and record while on scene. Would really appreciate any suggestions on the matter as I'm still unsure after reading several reviews, thank you in advance.
