"The photo at right illustrates the shutter-speed advantage the Singh-Ray LB Warming Polarizer gives me," says top professional outdoor photographer Darwin Wiggett.

"I got the polarization I needed to enhance the rainbow. I also got a faster shutter speed to let me stop the movement of the bird, the boat, and any hand-held camera shake."

It's always good news when "the best" gets even better, and that's what's happening with Singh-Ray's lighter, brighter LB Warming Polarizer. Very few professional outdoor photographers would ever leave home without their warming polarizer and their Graduated neutral density filters.

As Darwin writes in his latest book, How to Photograph the Canadian Rockies, "the polarizer is the most important filter for landscape photography.

"Many photographers know that a polarizer is useful for making blue skies richer and removing reflections from water, but a polarizer does so much more. . .for example, on overcast days every wet leaf, blade of grass, and stone reflects light from the sky. These reflections mute the colors significantly. Adding a polarizer will tone down these bright highlights and increase color saturation.

"Most polarizers have a slightly blue color cast to them," adds Darwin. "To avoid getting the blues, look for a warm-toned polarizer which combines a warm (slightly yellow/red) filter with a polarizer. . .my most used and favorite filter is definitely the Singh-Ray LB Warming Polarizer."
