Polarizing Filter


Polarizing filterReflected light can become polarized, which simply means enhanced or displayed with a higher contrast. With photography this can cause glare which if not controlled ruins a photograph – with a polarizing filter you can control what light enters your cameras lens by simply adjusting the distance from the lens of the camera itself.

There are several different types of polarizer filters, but the most common is to have different rated polarizer lenses that are used to achieve the desired result.

A great alternative however is the “circularizing” polarizer which is actually adjustable removing the need for changing the lenses, by simply rotating a knob you can remove reflections from either glass, plastic, water or metallic surfaces as you see it.

Polarizers can also cause colors and contrast to become enhanced and is often used to embellish clouds and saturation levels due to this effect.

The polarizer filter is both a nature photographers and a product photographers friend.


Nature Photographers use it to enhance the blue color of the sky. What many do not think about is that the effect is not achieved if you have the sun in front of you or in the back - it must come from the side, otherwise the filter has no function. The filter can also sometimes increase the color saturation in general in nature photography.

Product Photographers like the filter because it can reduce a certain type of reflection in all glass and plastic. The filter reduces polarized light with different strength by rotating it (the filter consists of two rings - one that attaches to the lens and one that is rotated to achieve different effects). Polarizer is dark and eat light - shutter speed increases by 1-2 exposure step so that it is not advisable to always keep it on.
