First and foremost, the polarizing filter reduces reflections and light reflections. The image can therefore be freed from disturbing elements even while taking pictures. Even if you call yourself a “Photoshop professional,” you can never achieve the same results in post-processing on a PC as with a polarizing filter. These filters can be used in various situations. In addition to the ND filter and gray gradient filter, it is one of the most popular little helpers, especially in landscape photography or simply outdoors. A few examples:
You want to photograph a frog in a puddle. However, the sun shines so strongly that the picture becomes bright and the sun is reflected in the puddle. The actual motif — the frog — is shown far too little. It is precisely in such cases that a polarization filter is used, which allows the sun to be removed almost completely from the image. The viewer is then fully focused on the actual subject again. In general, the polarizing filter is often used for reflective water surfaces.
Every object reflects light. Otherwise, it wouldn't even be visible to the human eye. Sometimes, however, the reflection is so strong that the colors are distorted. A lush green meadow, for example, can suddenly look pale and boring because the color intensity decreases due to the strong reflection of light. The polarizing filter also helps here. It can therefore not only reduce reflections, but also give a motif its strong, natural color back.
The K&F Concept Nano-X PRO series polarizing filter has a very high-quality finish and could be easily attached to my lens.
I took two pictures on the Schnell, you can see the difference. The images have not been processed.
The filter comes in an elegant case, including a cleaning cloth. The magnetic closure is great.
The price is completely okay, I can recommend this filter!
