Tiffen 82mm Circular Polarizing Filter

Tiffen 82mm Circular Polarizer Filters - Light rays that are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are utilized to determine which light rays pass through your camera lens. They can eliminate undesirable reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water or glass, while also enhancing color saturation for improved contrast. The effect is visible through the viewfinder and can be adjusted by rotating the filter. The filter factor changes based on the filter's rotation and its position relative to the sun.

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 or 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.

If you're shooting black and white and want to simulate a threatening storm, try throwing on a #25 Red filter. The vista will take on the appearance of an imminent, ominous storm. 

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.  

• This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays 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 right angle to the sun
  
  
• Effective with cameras that use beam splitters in the path of the TTL light meter and with AF cameras
