Description Another photo from the awesome and breathtaking Hawaii trip I took with my brother IsacGoulart

The dark sky is courtesy of a circular polarizer, the most useful filter you can buy for your SLR. If you don't have one and can afford the $80 or so it would cost for one, definitely purchase one next time.

It not only darkens blue sky to give it a deeper look, but a circular polarizer will give you more contrast in colors, will reduce glares, remove reflections especially in water, and work as a neutral-density filter by allowing you to stop down the exposure from 1-2 stops.

See www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Polar… for more details.

Awesome. I actually set this as my desktop background, so I can stare at it in this crappy NJ weather we're having.

There is nary a time where I shot the sky in day time and not used a polariser, pretty amazing how the blue can be accomplished

Gorgeous shot

Havaí! *_*
Adorei o céu com poucas nuvens, os coqueiros e a tranquilidade do mar.

Cara, você é muito sortudo.
