Question: Should I get a polarized lens filter for my camera?
I have a Canon xti with the standard 18-55mm lens that came in the kit. The guy at the camera store tried to sell me a polarized Tiffen filter, which I didn't buy. Now I'm considering it. Is it necessary, and if so, what are the benefits? What are negative things that can come from using it? Can it be left on at all times for all shooting conditions? Right now I just have a hood, but am considering returning it for the filter. Any advice on what to do and what positive and negative effects the filter could have would be great.
Answer: Short answer: You don't need it.
A CPL (Circular Polariser) allows you to filter out polarised light. Effectively this lets you do several useful things:
It can make a sky turn a darker blue.
It can take the reflections off water, glass and reflective surfaces.
It also limits your light gathering ability so it can be used as a makeshift ND filter if you need one in a pinch.
It can also sometimes slightly alter the colour of other things such as foliage.When using a CPL to darken skies, the effect is greatest when shooting at 90degrees from the sun. A word of warning: do not use a CPL to darken skies when using a lens any wider than your kit lens. This rarely gives anything other than a very uneven effect as the angle of view is too wide.
In some cases a CPL is a MUST, like when you need to reduce reflections but it's not an essential piece of kit unless you have the specific needs mentioned above.
I definitely wouldn't recommend leaving it on the lens all the time. All filters cause glare and ghosting, which can degrade your images and even show up as bright lights in your shot, especially when you have a strong light source in the shot.
If you want something to leave on your lens as protection, buy a good quality multicoated UV filter. Hoya are good. However, even very expensive filters can cause some glare, etc.
One thing you should know if you decide to get a CPL is that it won't totally remove strong reflections from flash. Flash is pure non-polarised light and isn't affected until it's been polarised. If you do ever need to do such things then a second polariser can be fitted over your flash at 90 degrees to the one on your lens to give a flash lit picture with very little reflections, even when photographing things such as water.
Out of all these uses for a CPL, reducing reflections is the only one that can't be done in post processing. For this reason, the CPL (along with ND filters) are amongst the few filters that are still useful in the digital age.
Goodluck!
EDIT: Holly9's answer is partly incorrect. All filters, especially cheap filters and especially in bright sunlight can and will harm image quality. So even if you keep a UV protection filter on your lens, it is wise to remove it for important shots where there are bright light sources.
Also, Holly9s comment about UV filters filtering out UV light is also incorrect. Unlike in the film days, modern digital sensors are built with filters which block out almost all UV light. So a UV filter does nothing, at least not to UV light.

Question: How to get photos of impressive with only a kit lens?I'm going to some gigs soon, and I with only a Canon XS kit lens, circular polarizing filter, and I'm about to get a Neutral Density filter. How do I get the best pictures Possible?
Answer: Forget using the polarizer or ND filter to concerts. The light is quite weak, flight two or several judgments of the probe using these filters. To make the point, set your white balance to incandescent and ISO to at least 1600 ... it is far preferable to have a little noise in your images blur. A program like Noise Ninja can reduce the noise quite well.

Question: How to upload from digital/video camera photo from a floppy?
I have sony camera, model # DCR-TRV20. I would like to know how to down load the photos on to my desk top (I have the memory stick and floppy) The dest top is windows 98. Will it work or do I need to go to walgreens?
Answer: lol well first thing you need to do is have some plugs to hook your camera up to your desktop. Go under video CATAGORYto frys THE STORE and tell them you like to downlaod from your picture camera to your desktop. They well be able to then ask what kind of desktop you have and your processor speed and all that other jazz.
Your best bet is take the whole desktop in when you decide what you need i suggest first visiting and ask those questions first.

Question: can you please help me to take a digital camera?I'm primarily interested in a digital camera that will allow me to images do very well at night. I plan to travel around Europe and the camera I only got good images a day. during the night, the pictures are blurry and out of focus. I tried all the functionality it had, but the result was the same. I want to be able to take a picture of the moon, in Belgrade at night and every other building lit. I know you can. I just want to know what kind of camera I can do it.
Answer: To take photgraphs night, you need a camera that is taking manual control of shutter speed + you will need a tripod to take pictures with slow shutter speeds I'm using Sony Cybershot Schizoaffective disorder-1, which is having minimum speed of 30 seconds, which is more than enough for handwriting night photos. Here are some samples from this camera http://www.fotothing.com/Aviator/photo/63a77ceebd603ba0ef2ffd97c46289fc/start=3 night photgraphy http://www.fotothing.com/Aviator/photo/8a5abda5af0402a7cfde608013912ff9/start=16 http: / / www.fotothing.com/Aviator/photo/9a393e03b79040fcbdb90c09ead3bb9f/start=63 http://www.fotothing.com/Aviator/ photo/afb8b0f616619601134be57a55eefaea/start = 217 I do not know your budget, but I think you buy any famous brand, with control of shutter speed. I hope this will solve your problem
