The polarizing filter reduces the reflected light from some surfaces, i.e. roads, plants, windows and as you can see below, from the surface of the water. Generally speaking it absorbs the glare reflected from non-metallic surfaces.

The following images intend to present this reflection-reduction functionality.

Macro-electro

The pictures were taken using a standard 18-55mm Nikon lens and an AR-09 - 52mm Adapter ring to inverse the lens.

This isn't the best lens for this purpose by far (its largest aperture is f/3.5 @ 18mm and it doesn't have a ring to set the aperture manually either), but it was worth to take a shot.

Anyway, this technique won't be my favorite one to take macro/close-up photos.
