Circular Polarizer Filter: Results you can’t achieve in post-processing
CPL filters remove glare and reflections from water, glass, and other non-metallic surfaces; colors appear more saturated with better contrast. ProMaster CPLs produce clear, sharp images without affecting color balance.
Why Use a CPL Filter?
A CPL is one of the most highly used filters in both still photography and videography. To imitate the effects of a polarizing filter in post-production software is nearly impossible. With the right CPL on your lens, you can create effects for beautiful compositions.
A CPL can:
- Control reflections and/or reduce glare on non-metallic surfaces, like water, glass, glossy paint, etc.
- Improve color saturation and contrast.
- Deepen/darken the blue color of skies.
- Reduce the appearance of atmospheric haze when photographing distant objects and landscapes.
Variable Neutral Density Filter: A must have for creative control
Shooting in bright sunlight can be challenging! VND filters reduce the amount of light entering your camera in reductions of 1.3-8 stops and 5.3-12 stops (extreme), allowing you to control bright conditions and achieve your desired shutter speed and aperture.
Why use a VND Filter?
A VND, or Variable Neutral Density filter, is designed to reduce the amount of light coming through your lens. It is used in both still photography and videography. A VND is “variable”, meaning the amount of light it blocks can be adjusted within a range. The range may be different depending on the specific VND being used. It is “neutral”, meaning it will not change affect color.
A VND can:
- Replace a host of single density ND filters.
- Reduce shutter speeds to create dramatic effects, such as moving water, in a still photograph.
- Control exposure while capturing video footage in bright or changing light conditions without adjusting the lens aperture, so as to maintain the desired depth of field.
- Allow for a “density pull” by changing the amount of light entering a lens while capturing video footage.
