CPL filters and the effects
A polarization filter is sometimes also referred to as a CPL filter in photography. With this you can display colors and contrasts very nicely.
CPL is the abbreviation for Circular Polarizer. In photography, this is the English name for polarization filter. You can use these filters primarily in combination with digital lenses SLR cameras apply, because these have a corresponding filter thread. Some high-quality compact cameras and system cameras also offer you the option of placing a filter in front of the lens of the lens.
A CLP filter is particularly suitable for taking pictures of landscapes
- If you decide to use a polarization filter (polarization filter), you should know that it is not equally suitable for all shooting situations. You should first use it for landscape shots, because this is where it shows its effect best.
- A CPL filter can be rotated. Put it on your lens and rotate it until the desired effect is achieved. Then trigger and take the photo. In the beginning you should take the time and experiment a little to get an exact photo.
Use requires thorough training
- Using a polarizing filter takes some practice before you get a really good result. You need to rotate very slowly while constantly observing the subject.
- Looking through the viewfinder of a digital SLR camera cannot be replaced by a monitor when using a polarizing filter.

Make sure that you buy a polarizing filter that has the diameter of the corresponding lens. There are also filter systems like the one from Cokin, but using a polarizing filter is very complicated and not recommended. You should therefore buy a separate polarizing filter for each lens that you want to use with a polarizing filter.
