55mm Circular Polarizing Filter
(Circular polarizer) A polarizer is a device that converts a beam of electromagnetic waves (light) of undefined or mixed polarization into a beam with well-defined polarization. The common types of polarizers are linear polarizers and circular polarizers.
A screen, plate, or layer of a substance that absorbs light or other radiation or selectively absorbs some of its components
device that removes something from whatever passes through it
an electrical device that alters the frequency spectrum of signals passing through it
remove by passing through a filter; "filter out the impurities"
A porous device for removing impurities or solid particles from a liquid or gas passed through it
A device for suppressing electrical or sound waves of frequencies not required

Put together in CS3 but no editing at all to show the effects of using a circular polarizing filter on a landscape type photo.

From 26A
The view from seat 26A on the way into Brisbane. There was a light haze and soft light from the low-ish cloud, but enough light coming through to reflect off the water. Shot with a circular polarising filter, converted to black and white, levels tweaked and some games with layers.
