A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Reflections on car paint. Ideal Polarizer to at least cut down on half the reflections? (alien.top)

I am a car photographer, I encounter a lot of reflections after I am editin or in the moment of shootin. Would a simple polar pro polarizer solve my problem somewhat? I look for angles in the moment to where the sun doesn’t bounce off onto me as well as heavy reflections. Such as people, myself, and buildings that can be spotted in the paint on the car.

How on earth is this easier than carrying a pola filter in your bag?

OP wants to eliminate reflections of people and buildings from mirrored surfaces such as painted car surfaces. "Such as people, myself, and buildings that can be spotted in the paint on the car."

A CP will not do what OP wants.

That's why I explained that it's helpful but not in the way they want, You'll need it to control reflections and glare on windows and plastic surfaces.
