Why Filters?
Filters are the secret sauce to stellar videos and photos. However, learning where to begin or how to buy can be quite a tricky and time-consuming process for beginners.
When considering photography filters, it's important to recognize the practical benefits of certain types. Essential filters like circular polarizers (CPL) and strong neutral density (ND) filters offer effects that are difficult to replicate digitally and provide protection for your lens. They enhance a broad spectrum of colors, ensure accurate exposures, and significantly impact the overall quality of your photos and videos.
