Re: Panoramas and Polarisers...

Yeap is it that bad. Certain software can correct but you are better
off just getting the basic right and then applying a polarising filter
in post production to inteisy the colours if required.

But as a polarising fan (Disneychrome forever!) it seems to me that
maybe this topic needs a bit of re-visiting. I note Roger Clark refers
to the use of polarisers in his panoramas, and I've heard others have
had success...

I understand the problem, ie mainly that the polariser will cause
inconsistent/graduated sky darkening that makes seamless joins very
difficult. BUT if you aren't using ridiculously short focal lengths,
and keep the polariser at the same angle, and hold the exposures equal
(all of which you should be doing anyway..) is the problem *really*
that bad?
