Circular polarizer filter(CPL filter) is a popular and powerful filter that can reduce or eliminate glare and reflections from surfaces.
Except cutting out any possible reflections and glare directly on the scene, a CPL filter also help to increase the overall contrast of the image,enhances overall colors (saturation) and especially those beautiful blue skies and in foliage,reduces atmospheric haze.
When is a Polariser Filter Useful?
The most common use of a polarizing filter is in landscape and travel photography, as it can enhance the image drastically on the fly. Just rotate CPL filter until the polarization effect becomes visible, you will capture an image with enhanced colors and a boost in the overall contrast of the image.
Another very common use of a polarizer filter is when we need to take photography through glass.it will elimate the reflection on the glass surface,the image through the glass will be more clear.
As its main effect is to cut reflections, it is very useful in product photography, especially when we photograph jewels and watches.
