So, what if I use the Circular Pola. at night?
What will the results be?
Should I even do it?
Is it a bad idea, a waste of time?
Any examples of the results to show me?
I don't recall any DP's in my career doing this, so that is why I post this query.
Thanks.

Sure you can. It helps increase the shutter speed kind of like a 1.5 stop ND would.
I'm at work not doing my job so don't have any examples though. |

| What do you loose in trying? Do it in secret so that no one knows and then if the results are embarrassing, you don't lose face.... ;-) That's the fun of this art, leave the obvious to those with no imagination... in the mean time, mistakes lead to discoveries. |

Photography is so subjective, what someone else calls a mistake, you might call creative. Plus, there really is no way to make a mistake in photography if what you are doing does not harm the equipment. The results may not be pleasing but it's still not a mistake. |

OK, great.
Getting beyond philosophy...
Still interested in seeing results if anyone has any.

Taken with the polarizer on intentionally after the first shots did not give the results I wanted. I was going for exactly the look you see and just the one star. I finally got it with the polarizer on. This is cropped from the center of the picture. |

| One thing I noticed on leaving filters on at night and shooting in a brightly lit city such as NYC is that you get all sorts of lens flare issues reflected in the filter surfaces. Countryside might not have this issue. But I know nothing about what's out there. |

I haven't noticed any more flare with a filter on then without at night. It's more likely the fact that you usually have several light sources directly in front of your lens. That will cause flare with our without filters. |
