It hit me like a ton of bricks. It was bright and sunny this morning and I was out with the camera with my sunglasses on and searching for some new compositions, reflections from puddles of water etc...
On our waterfront, there are commercial fishing boats/cutters on the beach. The ice hasn't gone yet so all these boats are still laying on the beach with their hulls mostly flooded from last winter melted ice and snow. One of them was full of water and the front/cabin of the boat shaded the rear of the boat where the water was. Hum I thought...this may be a photographic opportunity. But while composing images, I accidently discovered that the details of the reflections on the above water in boat were hidden when I had my sunglasses on. I don't know if it was because of the polarized lenses or the darkness of the lenses.
