For the first set of photos you had to shot a seen at the lightest and darkest possible setting by rotating the filter. The first thing i noticed was that in the darkest setting you also increase the saturation of the colours producing very strong blues and greens. Another obvious factor was that like the Grad filter you can use it to sort out exposure issues that you can have with the sky, although you have to take into account how this will effect the colours in your shot.
Next you were asked to take a photo using your wide angle lens and to rotate your filter until you felt it was as dark as possible. What you notice here is how the darkening of the sky isn't even, where the light is at its strongest it remains pretty much white but the further away you move from this point the darker the sky becomes. Also by using this kind of filter i felt it also darken the shadows giving an added dimension to the shot.
The final part of this project was to show you how you can use the filter to make reflection strong or to pretty much remove them from images involving water. When turn to their lightest setting the reflections seem stronger while the alternative makes them seem less obvious. What i also discovered that i don't think it actually mentions in the course is that you can also use this kind of filter to remove glare coursed by the sunlight hitting a reflective surface such as water.As this was a filter i hadn't used before i found this project again add knowledge and skills that can only add to what i already know, some of my photos aren't the best but they show you what the course is trying to teach you.
