Learning to use Polarizers with water at Gowlland Tod Provincial Park

Posted on January 23, 2016

A fallen maple leaf caught my eye on the edge of a beautiful stream in Gowlland Tod Provincial park just outside of my hometown of Victoria, BC. I thought I would share some secrets to shooting a water scene like this and why using a polarizer is an absolute must.
