What's a polarization filter and what can you use it for?
A polarization filter is a filter for the lens of your camera. The filter ensures that only the light that comes from a specific direction is transmitted. This prevents the light that comes from somewhere else that disturbs your photo. A polarization filter filters unwanted reflections and glare from your photos in this way. This keeps the natural light-dark contrast in the photo.
When do you use a polarization filter?
A polarization filter helps you filter annoying reflections and glare. The filer helps you take photos at sea, for example. In addition, the filter ensures a sharper contrast and bright colors in your photos. Thanks to a polarization filter, mostly the colors blue and green become more intense. The sea and air become bluer and the tropical trees greener with a polarization filter. So it'll be useful to take holiday photos.
Hoe do you use a polarization filter?
You rotate a polarization filter with a rotating system on your lens. When purchasing a polarization filter, look carefully at the size of your lens. Use a reducing ring to also place the filter on a lens of a different size. If you have mounted the polarizing filter on your lens, turn the front ring to determine the desired effect. During the spin you see that the image or part of the image becomes darker or lighter.
