A garter snake sunning on the pavement at a local park. Photo is unedited... just a snap-and-shoot from about 6" away.
wow great colors and focus. thanks for the upcoming nightmares.
Ahhh... it's a cute little thing about as big around as my thumb and maybe 2 feet long. Very harmless. I was surprised I could get so close as they usually slither off pretty quickly.
Recently opened Ramen shop near my house. Selling for $6 per bowl.

Say hello to our new kitten, Lily. The gorgeous little lady is just 11 weeks old and she's absolutely fearless haha
They've both crashed this evening, she & Fin are getting on superbly and we've only had her since Monday!
Like all cats; they love the fire... ❤️

To polarize or not to polarize!
I bought this handy polarized filter mount for my iPhone 16 pro max so I can finally start using my polarizing filter when taking photos. Usually I would hold it in front of the camera by hand, it’s difficult and cumbersome. Polarizing filters are great and easy to use. I’ll provide more samples later. The mount works great and fits with most cases, just remove the rubber grommet from the lens window. Otherwise leave it on for use without a case.

I took this quick shot with the 5x camera at a gas station today.

Well I suppose it will depend on the quality you want & what you are willing to pay. I have several that I use with my Sony camera and lenses, I bought step up rings (67mm to 77mm) to fit the adapter I bought for the iPhone as that is a much cheaper option instead of buying another smaller filter. I prefer the polarized filters with a good multi coating. The quality & size of the filter will make the price go up significantly. So buy one for your largest lens and use step rings to be able to use it on other lenses. But since it’s for an iPhone, (if that’s what you’re planning to use it for), Urth makes great filters. Just buy the correct size.

I use the pro master digital HGX 77mm and it’s professional grade and it set me back $184! But I do a lot of photography and use a lot of high-end equipment so I kind of want the best that I can get. Probably a little overkill for an iPhone but I really like it and I like the multi coatings on it. you can get cheap polarizing filters that are just plain glass with no anti-reflective coating on them for $30 from Best Buy.
Tiffen and Hoya have been around for a very long time and they make good filters. The Amazon link for the Urth filter is a good choice. I have one of their infrared filter. It’s good quality.

thanks for the great explanation and links. i will only use it for my iphone so i’m looking seriously at the $20 option to start. i really iked the difference it made in the photo you posted. thanks again!
This is just like the concept of polarized sunglasses, no? I have strangely been getting served ads for the Tiffen one and i like the idea of pairing it with the cheap amazon basics lens to try and reduce glare on my phone.

Yes in a way. You’ll have to rotate the filter until you get the desired polarized effect of the sky, window, water etc. most of the time the filter works best at 45° angles of the subject.
It's a pea-souper here in Preston, Lancashire (ie it's very foggy)

Playing with my polarizing filter today. Nothing fancy as I was at work and stopped on the roadside to snap a few. I love using polarized filters on my camera gear. Now especially on the iPhone. Not sure why I put off buying a MagSafe filter holder for my iPhone for so long… naturally polarized blue skies without faking it in Lightroom. Natural polarized skies do not put halos around objects and trees.
Huge difference in image quality & color fidelity.

Thanks… the polar rising filter really helps a lot with clarity. Like I said, I just can’t believe I waited so long to get the holder for the phone. this is the one I got off of Amazon that works with my 16 Pro Max. It has a rubber coated back where the magnets are and a rubber Gromit around the camera window to protect the phone if you use it without a case. However, that little rubber grommet comes off to allow it to work with most cases. Here’s the Amazon link. The filter thread is 67 mm but I have a 77 mm filter so I used a step up ring from 67 to 77 mm in order to put a larger filter on.
