What is Lens Filter?
A lens filter is an accessory that attaches to the front of a camera lens to modify the way light enters the lens and affects the final image.
Filters come in a variety of types, each with a different purpose, including color correction, light reduction, and special effects. Some common types of filters include: UV filters: These filters are used primarily to protect the lens from scratches and dust, but can also help to reduce haze and improve contrast in outdoor photography. Polarizing filters: These filters help to reduce glare and reflections, and can also enhance the color saturation and contrast of outdoor scenes. Neutral density (ND) filters: These filters reduce the amount of light entering the lens, allowing for slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions. Graduated filters: These filters have a graduated density that transitions from dark to clear, allowing for more balanced exposure of scenes with a bright sky and dark foreground. Lens filters are available in different sizes to fit different lens diameters and can be made of various materials, including glass and resin. They are a useful tool for adjusting the look and feel of your images, and can be easily swapped out to suit different shooting conditions and creative goals.
