I shot both at ISO 200, f8, 2.5s. The first one @100 mm and the second one @96 mm (don't remember why I changed that all of a sudden, but it's not much of a difference anyway).
Here are my findings:
The one above is without the C-PL. Notice the colours, and especially the washed-out effect on the bottom edge of the plate. It almost has a glare.
This second one is with the C-PL on. I think the colours are much richer and practically no glare since there are no reflections. And honestly, this is closest to the original colours of the plate. I find the saturation pretty appealing.
My finding of the day, therefore is the C-PL must be great for the outdoors (since that's the main reason I got it in the first place after my disappointments at the Old Port recently), but I'm finding that it could be a good tool to use indoors as well when the lights aren't ideal.
Would love to hear back from the others about what your thoughts are on this. I am right now in R&D mode and will keep experimenting to push the boundaries.
Happy clicking!
P.S. I'm planning to start a Photo 365. Any tips are greatly welcome. :-)
