Image for Photographic Filters

Photographic Filters

Photographic filters are thin pieces of glass or optical materials placed in front of a camera lens to alter the way light enters the camera. They can change colors, reduce glare, enhance contrast, or soften images. Common types include polarizing filters, which reduce reflections and improve sky colors, and neutral density filters, which reduce overall light without affecting color. Filters can help achieve specific effects in photography, protect the lens, and enhance creativity by allowing photographers to manipulate the final image before it’s captured.
