Polarizer Filter Sheet

The photo on the left was taken without the use of a polarizer filter. Note how the foliage is more saturated in the photo on the right, when the polarizing filter was used. The water is also darker blue in this image.

These photos are great examples of the difference that a polarizing filter can make on a photograph. The image on the left shows glare on the lily pads. The flower is dark and the water not very transparent. In the image where the polarizer was used, you can see the green of the lily pads, the flower is brighter and you can see detail beneath the water's surface.

Given the choice, you'd rather have the skies in your pictures a rich blue rather than a pale shade of washed out, right? Well, you are given the choice when you add a polarizing filter to your arsenal of imaging accessories.

Polarizing filters (often called polarizers) can help you out in another way, too: they can reduce, and sometimes even remove, unwanted reflections from your images, and in doing so often increase color saturation. But mostly they're used to make blue skies bluer and clouds stand out in dramatic fashion. It's no wonder that outdoor and nature photographers won't leave home without them.

Polarizing lens glasses

Polarizers are often ideal for increasing color saturation and cutting reflections during early-morning shooting when water droplets on flowers or grass or mist in the air scatters light and obscures some of the true color of the scene or the sky. A polarizer can also make a rainbow more visible and help out when you're photographing foliage by reducing reflections on leaves.

With illuminating backdrops and a magical atmosphere, Franklin Park is the perfect destination for capturing the holiday spirit. Register to attend for free HERE.

Nikon makes a line of circular polarizers designed to be used on our NIKKOR autofocus lenses and with our DSLR and Mirrorless cameras—which means they are made specifically to work within the Nikon system. They are exceptionally thin, optically perfect and range in size from 52mm to 77mm in diameter so they'll fit all NIKKOR lenses. Be sure you specify circular polarizers, though: they're made for today's autofocus, autoexposure cameras.

A polarizer is actually two pieces of glass set in a filter ring that screws onto your lens. The outer piece rotates, and as you look through the viewfinder you'll see the effect of the rotation.
