Polarizing Filters
Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors, providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.
Using Polarizers in Photography
If you're out walking on a lovely day - in the mountains or at the beach - and you want to get a fabulous shot of a cloud-filled sky or make the water seem more saturated, then a polarizer is the way to go. This filter is the best way to:
- Make the clouds stand out
- Increase or decrease the saturation of the ocean
- Increase or decrease the reflection off the water
You can also use this filter when shooting into glass or windows since it will, again, either increase or decrease reflections.
Black and White Photography
If you're shooting black and white and want to simulate a threatening storm, try throwing on a red filter. The vista will take on the appearance of an imminent, ominous storm.
Essential Gear
Along with a UV or skylight filter, a polarizing filter should be a part of everyone's gear bag. It can turn a run-of-the-mill image into a stunning, creative photo by increasing color saturation.
Filter Features
This filter, with its hardened glass, has 4 times the tensile strength of traditional filters of similar fabrication. This filter is also of great use in today's digital market where sensors are more sensitive to reflected light. Hoya incorporates special coatings that reduce these internal reflections and, thereby, promote a clearer, brighter, and sharper image.
- 25% higher light transmission than standard polarizing film used in current photographic filters
- This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as well as polarizing the light to remove reflections and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance
- Can dramatically enhance a blue sky and make the clouds more prominent
- Used best at a right angle to the sun
- 8-layer multi-coated to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting
- Water and oil repellent, scratch and stain resistant
- 4x the breaking strength in ANSI standardized testing - rated against steel balls of varying size and weight dropped from a height of 50 inches onto the glass
- Effective with cameras that use beam splitters in the path of the TTL light meter and with AF cameras
