Filter In photography, a filter is an optical accessory that is placed in front of the camera lens to modify or enhance the appearance of the image by altering the color, contrast, or light transmission properties of the incoming light. Filters can be made of glass, plastic, or gelatin and come in various types, such as color filters, neutral density filters, polarizing filters, and special effects filters.
Each type of filter serves a specific purpose, such as correcting color temperature, reducing glare, intensifying colors, or creating artistic effects. Filters are commonly used in landscape photography, portrait photography, and studio photography to achieve desired visual effects and creative interpretations in Giclée printing. |
