Knowing your Different Camera filters

Posted: Dec 30, 2009 |Comments: 0 |

When I was a newbie I always wonder why a efficiently taken picture can give the impression of being so full of impact. I wanted to take a picture that have colors are bright or a sunset that almost feels humid, a sky that is so lucid and blue or even a portrait shot that look so mild and soft.

The secret behind this professionally taken picture is the smart use of the filters. A lens filter in film photography is attached to the front of a lens. The illumination of light passing to the camera is affected by the filter and these results to different effects in the ending image. The D-SLR cameras still uses physical filters and this allows for better manage of the effects of the filters.

If you are using a DSLR camera, here are few descriptions of some general photography filters that you can apply to generate exciting effects

If you are using a camera with threaded lens, a UV filter will be approximately necessary to keep on your camera all the time. It is a colorless filter and its function is to maintain the ultraviolet light and dropping the atmospheric haze to capture the images clearly.

Polarising filter gives you deep, rich and high contrast colors. The polarizing filter removes out the reflections by preventing light from a specific angle from passing through to the camera’s film. It enhances the image by deepening the colors and it’s also useful in shooting through surface of water and glasses which are reflective.

ND filters or natural density filters reduces the amount of light that passes the camera’s sensor without touching/affecting anything else such as color. This allows you to create special effects such as slow shutter speed.  The ND filter is useful if you want to balance the light approaching from the sky. With ND filter, it reduces the amount of light and slow shutter speed to create effects

Every now and then your films can appear dry on a cloudy day. Your camera may capture an image that can appear overwhelming. Warming filters help to add a little warmth for a more desirable effect. Sometimes strong warming filters can give that additional touch to a bright sunset.

Cooling filters is the opposite of warm filters and are less or frequently used by us photographers.  Cooling filters add saturation and impact to a boring sky. A Blue filter can give you a cool, cloudy morning feeling

The  Soft-Filter are less common filters which is great for portraiture, Intensifying Filter increases the individual color saturation and Infrared Filters increases the special effects of infrared energy to create strange light effects especially on green foliages
