Polarized City

I went out on a nice clear evening last week to see how the setting sun might be reflecting off the buildings of downtown Louisville, KY this time of year. There were no sun reflections but while there with camera in hand I thought I would take a few shots. I liked the way the clouds were hanging on the east side of the buildings.

I mounted the D40 on the tripod with the 18-200VR attached. I took a few shots and then wanted to add a polarizer to deepen the blue sky, since the sun was to my right I thought I would get lots of blue.


I was really quite surprised when I got home and saw the actual differences between these 2 shots. Usually the polarized shot is way better than the non polarized, here I am not sure which I like better.

Can you tell which photo is polarized? Which do you like better?

First of all, you should (definitely) install a comment-spam plugin :)

I like the second shot better.
