it can be challenging to create a clear representation in your photos. Reflections from these types of surfaces can invade your composition. They are not always possible to avoid without using a polarizing filte
Because of this a new kind of polarizing filter was developed, called a circular polarizer, that eliminates these problems. No, these names have nothing to do with the shape of the filter! Circular polarizers use a trick (a quarter wave retardation plate if you must know) that makes the ...
Discusses how filters help bring the adaptability of the human eye to the photograph by altering the quantity, quality, or color of light reaching the film. Use of polarizing filter; Color-correction filter; Special-effect filters.EBSCO_AspNational Geographic Traveler...
How does a polarizing filter work physics? Polarizing filters havea polarization axis that acts as a slit. This slit passes electromagnetic waves (often visible light) that have an electric field parallel to the axis. ... The electric field is strong compared with the magnetic field and is mo...
Evan Ranftis a big proponent of filters, and in the video below he explains when and how to use Neutral Density (ND) and polarizing filters to greatly improve your images. The importance of these simple accessories can’t be overstated, especially because they’re cheap and easy to us...
Color and polarizing filters are useful for bringing out details in the moon and planets. They are often available in sets, and can cost from $15 to $30 each. Solar filters are for solar observing, fitting over the end of a telescope to block most of the light from the sun. They are...

to be aware of the angle of the light (where does the light come from) to be able to get the best of a scene, and the best exposure for your image. Also, when using a polarizing filter, it is more effective when used at a 90 degrees angle to the sun for better blue sky ...
Without polarization filter (left) vs. with polarization filter (right) Polarizing sunglass lenses Reflected light impairs visual performance. This phenomenon is particularly well known among water sports enthusiasts. Polarizing sunglass lenses can provide a solution here. It minimizes these light reflection...
Most landscape photographers usepolarizing filtersextensively and I am no exception. But when photographing reflections, a polarizer becomes a big no. It is for the obvious reason that, one of the basic characteristics of a polarizer is to cut reflections. It might help by reducing glare on wet...
