My wife gifted me some Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags for my birthday this past weekend and I decided to hang them up over our back door to the yard. I caught them yesterday fluttering in the very cold wind and aside from bringing some color to the patio, I thought the wind effect looked cool.
 
Picked up a CPL filter for my cell phone. 1st photo is no filter, 10s exposure at 2.7x zoom. 2nd photo is with the filter, taken 1minute prior to 1st photo. Same 10s exposure, 2.7x zoom. No edits done to either picture. Seems that the 2nd photo is deeper in color and cuts out some detail. I want to do a 30s comparison next.

Figured I would tag you here in the 15pic forum so you could see what I'm talking about.

First one is filtered, hit auto edit in apple's photo app.

Second one is unfiltered and hit auto edit in apples photo.

Second one is filtered, 10s exposure and unedited.

Second one is unfiltered, 10s exposure unedited, taken a minute after the second picture.

The CPL Filter definitely seems to have a purpose, and its marginal benefits when the scene is right, just takes some tweaking in the right arena to get it to work.

Yes, I see what you mean. Your landscape shots are aimed towards the sun, which the polarizing filter really doesn’t do well when aimed at the light or even with reflections in the water. For some reason, polarized light gets affected at 90 and 45° as I mentioned earlier From the light source. You can experiment with that by holding it up to your eye, like I mentioned and testing it on different parts of the sky to see which areas turned darker blue. This guy explains it pretty well.

this makes sense to me, just need to be more aware of my surrounds and do some testing with the CPL Filter on prior to photographing.
