How to use a polariser and long focal lengths in landscape photography?

A calm lake no color in the sky and lots of reflection. I work through a cluttered composition, show a simple polarizer demo on water, and then switch from a mid-range zoom to a long lens to isolate small stories. It is a slow field session about choosing mirror vs detail and why telephoto can save a scene when the sky gives you nothing. What you will see • Show dont tell framing fixes on a messy shoreline • Polarizer rotated from minimum to maximum to compare reflection vs detail • Why I shot multiple CPL positions to decide in post • Moving the tripod after setup to refine composition • 28–75 for context then 300mm to tell the story with two trees and their reflection • Notes for a future return in autumn and on foggy mornings • Practical settings in the field f8 for sharpness faster shutter with ISO 400 Chapters 00:00 Intro at a still lake and first composition problems 01:39 Polarizer on water demo reflection vs detail 03:02 File workflow and focus stacking order foreground to background 04:16 Lessons from the last session try another focal length 06:31 28 to 75 test and why wider is not always better 07:41 Long lens pass at 300mm two trees become the subject 09:01 Alignment trick for vertical trees and reflections 10:14 Final settings and small tweaks at 300mm 11:55 Wrap up and next steps Key takeaways • Decide on reflection or detail before you rotate the CPL • Shoot both extremes of polarization and one in the middle • Long lenses simplify messy scenes and reveal intimate compositions • Slow down with a tripod but do move it when the frame needs it If you want more behind the scenes I share before and after frames and scouting notes on my socials and stream occasional live scouting sessions.
