We all know that polarizers work best at a 90 degree angle to the sun. But even knowing that, when you are a new student out in the field, sometimes it is hard to determine just where the best angle is without constantly holding your camera up to your eye. I am asked quite frequently “how did you know exactly where to aim your camera?” I have a not-so-secret secret. A good pair of polarizing sunglasses. Wearing them in the field always lets me know where the polarizer will work best. They save time, and they get rid of the guesswork.
