Tiffen 82mm Circular Polariser Filter

Think of a Polariser filter as Sunglasses for your camera.

What does a Circular Polarising filter do? What’s the difference between a circular and linear polariser? Along with UV and ND filters, Polariser filters are among the essential Digital SLR camera filters every photographer should have this filter guide will explain it all. Polarising filters provide colour and contrast enhancement. Reflected light often shows up as whitish glare that washes out colour in an image.

A Polariser filter corrects this problem producing deep, dramatically blue skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water. Colour saturation in general, especially outdoors, can be improved significantly by using polariser filters.
