The latest addition to my camera gear collection has finally arrived – a circular polarizing filter! Yay!<\/p>\n

\"camera<\/a><\/p>\n

And here it is, in all its glory.<\/p>\n

\"camera<\/a><\/p>\n

Almost makes my little (well, medium-sized) camera look like one of those big honkin’ DSLR cameras! Maybe now I can get the “big lens” effect – where people just “assume” you’re important if you have a big camera and lens (the same way people don’t question you in certain situations if you’re carrying a clipboard – you can imagine several others).<\/p>\n

\"camera<\/a><\/p>\n

Here it is – a 58mm circular polarizer, mounted to the end of my Canon Conversion Lens Adapter.<\/p>\n

I knew from the beginning that my Canon PowerShot S3 IS had the ability to add accessories like this via the adapter, and that was one of the main reasons I bought it instead of a “real” DSLR (the other reason was price – at the time, there was still a big difference between the S3 and the lowest-end DSLR). Now, I know it’s always going to be a compromise with this camera – after all, I can’t actually change the lens itself; I can only “add on” to it – but hey, we all gotta make some compromises, right? (Unless you’re rich and have an unlimited budge for photography, in which case why are you here?)<\/p>\n

\"canon<\/a><\/p>\n

I must say, I’m looking forward to trying it out! I especially can’t wait to try it on water… or, since it’s winter, some nice snow shots. Should be fun!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
