Filters and There uses

I have just purchased a set of three 55mm polaroid  filters for my camera as I've noticed that some of my images would of benefited from the use of a UV filter . There is a UV filter, a CPL filter and a FLD filter complete with a case .

Polaroid 3 piece filter kit.

UV protective filter.
This filter prevents loss of sharpness and contrast by filtering out UV rays and haze  and protects the lens from scratches ,scuffs and smudges .

CPL Circular polarizing Filter.
 Polaroids patented polarizing technology to give you  "on location" control of color saturation, you can make skies bluer ,grasses greener and even eliminate surface reflection from water and glass.

FLD  Fluorescent.
Eliminates the greenish tinge which fluorescent lights add to photos.


The Cokin Filters.

Another type of filter is a Cokin filter which are an original square system designed by a French photographer .The Cokin filter was invented the concept of the creative filter photography ,to allow everybody to get a chance to produce great creative images. Jean Coquin designed a system with the following  , simplicity , rapidity of use and versatility to leave plenty of room for individual inspiration and creativity .

I am not over happy with the light in these shots although the composition is good I do now realize why this happened and I have since purchased a tripod and can now work my camera correctly , opening my shutter as far as it will go 3.2 to let light in .
