For those moments when everything is right except the light, try the filter many outdoor pros consider their “secret weapon” to capture more color and life in a scene and transform ordinary light into extraordinary images.

The Gold-N-Blue polarizer adds variable gold or blue tones to polarized light, creating effects ranging from subtle to dramatic. It’s versatile and exciting to use, especially with water scenes, both in dull light and on bright, sunny days. And B&W shooters depend on the Gold-N-Blue for the vivid tonal contrast it adds to their images. Try the Gold-N-Blue and discover a world of fresh new photo opportunities!

“I’ve used the Gold-N-Blue polarizer many times over to create something out of nothing. We have all faced the challenges presented by lackluster gray skies, flat shadowless lighting and colorless lakes and streams. You may have a dynamic subject and an engaging composition, but the light just may or may not be there. That’s when I turn to my Gold-N-Blue polarizer.” ~ Adam Barker

QUICK TIPS

• The Gold-N-Blue polarizer works especially well with large areas of sky and water or ice and with tighter shots of moving water. Try it with the Vari-ND for dramatic color, combined with exciting motion effects. Also extremely effective with our graduated neutral density filters to hold back bright skies and add detail to shadow areas.
• Until you start rotating the polarizing ring, you won’t know quite know what to expect with the Gold-N-Blue. You’ll see light-reflecting areas in the scene changing from strong golden yellows to little or no effect, then to dramatic blue tones. Experiment to find the looks you like.
• The polarized colors are strongest when your lens is pointed at a 90° angle to the sun. Even when there is no sunlight, the Gold-N-Blue will often pick up just enough polarized reflection to add new life to an image. Areas of the scene reflecting little or no polarized light remain unchanged.
• Should you notice any magenta color cast, just switch from auto white balance on your camera to custom white balance, with the Gold-N-Blue on your lens. Shooting RAW will also give you the most flexibility in post-processing.
