Hi Joe.

Hope you enjoy the photography - I find it is great fun.

I assume you are using a digital camera so why not try with and without and
see which you prefer?

Regards, Ian.

Depends what you are expecting it to do for you. Why are you considering it
in the first place? In what way are you expecting it to improve the
pictures? Why are you asking the question? I'm not being flippant here, it's
just without knowing what your expectations are, it's impossible to give an
answer. You could just as easily ask whether you should use a red or green
or yellow filter, or whether you should use a 400mm lens or whether you
should use flash. No one can answer unless you say why you are considering
it in the first place.

Hi Joe,

Using a Polarising filter WILL help your images BUT will also
decrease your light available for capture. with compounding issues on
shutter speed, DOF.

If your using a digital SLR, I'd suggest shoting in raw mode
it will afford you greater flexability to to post process your images
later.
Shoot at circa 1/200th of a second or higher if they are flying
closer
& get as much depth of field as your lighting conditions allow & keep
the
ISO levels as low as you can for better quality images.
Have fun !

Hope this helps.
