Good man! That's looking rather better than the previous attempts without the polariser. The grass is a tad underexposed but nothing that cant be fixed in post-production (or with that grad filter).
Tobers
A circular poalriser is an essential piece of kit for anything landscape IMO.
Nice one, just got the 6500fd myself. Still a lot to learn. How many stops do you lose with the filter on?
I find the "chrome" setting on the fuji saturates colour quite a bit, did you use the polariser with this setting?
Have seen a great potential pic re the comp. Its a shop window for bathrooms and they have these plasic bubbles filling a bath and others floating above it. Trouble is the reflections on the window cant seem to avoid them and there spoiling the photo, any tips fellas?
Will have to figure something out.
