Polarizers
Anyone use a polarizer on their camera? Does it help prevent reflection on water surface? Even with a photo box I have trouble with reflection within the box from the lights. I don't see this when I wear polarized sunglasses.

polarizer's are great in general, for outdoor, it makes pictures warmer and gives them more depth.
nice thing is that you can turn it to your liking I kind of use it all the time, as kind of a UV filter on my camera, I never used it when taking pictures of my tank, but I asume it wil take 90% of your reflection away. only thing you have to watch out for is movement of your camera, as there might be slightly less light in a tank picture, but try to lower your shutter in that case, worst thing is getting the tripot out

As a matter of habit I've always used a polarizer filter on my cameras (at least those for which it's an option, my old 35mm SLR and now my current DSLR - although to be fair I'm using the same lenses, hahaha). But if I were ever to buy a new lens I'd still put a polarizer on it. It should help with the glare if you can get the right angle on it, but like Kevin mentioned it gives a certain something to the pictures - the colours or the contrast just have a little more "pop" to them while still staying natural.

I use both a UV and a circular polarizer on my camera, a regular polarizer won't make the top of the water dissapear, you need a circular one.
I have never used it on my tank, because your top of you tank would have to be dead still for it to work, and I don't chut down pumps for pictures. where it realy did shine is when I was in hawaii taking pictures in the aquarium of there out door tidal pool. I mostly use it for landscape pictures where I don't want the lake reflection. I have one I done use anymore what size and style you looking for? Steve
