You have probably seen on websites or read in magazines that the one most important accessory any photographer should possess is a polarising filter. Majority of the photographers would swear by one and all photo-journals highly recommend one. What is the big deal with the polariser? One of the most commonly used camera lens filters is the polarising filter and there is a good reason: it improves photos in many ways.
When used correctly, a polarised will eliminate or reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as water and glass. It can also deepen the skies’ color. Overall color saturation, especially the outdoors, can highly improve. Without diving into the deeper mysteries of science, all light is transmitted in a form of wave. These waves go in all directions at different sizes and rates. The polarising filters limit which waves enter the camera’s lens at any time. The frequencies or rates, determine the color of light, its intensity and the size of the wave.
It might help to thick of it like those toys where a variety of shaped blocks have to go in the correct holes. Polarising DSRL lens filter only allows specific light waves to go through the lens, while the rest won’t pass through. You can choose different ranges of waves by rotating the filter.
The following are the benefits of using a DSLR polarising filter:
- Regular light sources will have their intensity decreased by half, like you were using a Neutral Density Filter.
- A reflection on non – metallic surfaces varies from almost zero to full intensity.
- Depending on the polariser’s orientation, glass and water can appear to be entirely transparent.
- Foliage will gain richer and deeper colors and overall saturation will improve.
- Clouds will be better contrasted, blue skies will become deeper, and you will cut down the risks of over exposing the sky.
- Contrast between the sky and rainbows will increase or decrease depending on the polariser’s orientation.
Understanding on how a polariser filter works may seem really complex and learning to use it can take some time. However, the result will be very rewarding. And as with everything, practice makes perfect!
