Choose an interesting subject and take the following pictures using daylight. If necessary do not forget the filter factor.

1. Using the Polarizing filter: Find a reflecting

surface and take 2 photos with and without the

filter. You have to see the effect of the filter.

2. Using the Effect filters: Find an interesting

subject to use effect such as speed, ND or what

ever you want. To see the difference,

photograph your subject with and without filter.

3. Take a photo with the filter you choose depending on the colour of your subject. Using the

filter, emphasise your subject. To see the difference photograph your subject with and

without filter.
