Digital Polarizer Filter
Hazy Photos Call For A Camera Lens Filter
Photography is one of my favorite hobbies. Whether you shoot pictures for fun or for a living you need to learn about the different camera accessories.
This is because using the right accessory at the right time ensures the highest quality pictures. No you don't have to break your wallet and buy every gadget out there, but you should at least become familiar with the different types of camera lenses and lens filters.
Why should you get familiar with and purchase a camera lens filter? Because lens filters can greatly affect the quality of the pictures you take. Like anything else you purchase there are certain things to look for when shopping for camera accessories.
Tips For Buying Camera Lens Filters
There are several kinds of lens filters to be aware of. For one, the first thing you should look for when you are buying camera lens filters is the quality of the UV and haze protection of the lens. For example, a great lens filter will be ale to take in a lot of UV rays and protect the pictures from looking hazy.
Another great camera lens filter that you could buy is a polarizing filter which can reduce the reflections from the sun and other objects that are polarized light sources. Pay attention to the different types of polarizing filters because auto focus cameras tend to use circular polarizing filters, while manual focus cameras function best with manual focus filters.
Where To Buy Camera Lens Filters
If you are interested in buying a great camera lens filter many can be found at local camera stores in your area or you can look online as there are a lot of great online digital accessory sites. Either way you are sure to be taking better pictures as a result of the filter.
How Do You Get The Best Deal On Lens Filters?
If you have questions as to what filters are right for your camera, I am sure a specialist at your local store can help you. Then you can shop online to compare prices with your local stores and online sites to find your lens filter for the cheapest price. Wherever you buy your filter just make sure that they have some type of return policy so you can return your filter if it is not right for some reason.
When shopping online you can often find sites that have free shipping so you don't have to pay that little but extra. Also whenever you purchase anything online make sure that the website has a privacy policy to ensure your financial security. If you give a camera lens filter a try I bet you will be glad you did because your pictures will come out crystal clear.

Long Exposures with Nikon D80....Help me...Photographers...Please?
I have a Nikon D80 digital SLR, an 18-55G & 12-24mm Tokina Wide Angle, both with C.Polarizer filters, and an SB-600 Speedlight.
First off, is my camera capable of performing long exposure shots, and second, how do i set up my camera? Do i need a tripod? Do i need a different lens? Whats involved?
I want to be able to take pictures of the stars at night, of roads with moving traffic and get that rear curtain trails effect, and the foamy blurred water effect of moving currents.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Perhaps you can refer me to a forum which discusses this in more detail.
Thanks!
Yes, your camera is capable of long exposures. This is simply a matter of choosing the right exposure settings and taking photos at the right time.
Yes, you will need a tripod, because long exposures require you to keep the camera steady and unmoving, or you'll get blurry shots.
You don't need a different lens to do long exposures; your current lenses will do just fine. You only need a different lens if you want to go wider or get more telephoto.
It's actually pretty easy; you just need to think the problems through.
First: set your ISO fairly low, like ISO 200. The temptation is to set the ISO faster, like 1600, but avoid this, as it adds unwanted noise to the image.
Next, mount your camera onto the tripod.
Set your camera exposure up. You have several options here: full manual, shutter preferred, aperture preferred, or program. Probably the easiest is just program, but let's do shutter preferred first. Let's say it's a shot of your house with cars driving by. So, choose a shutter speed that will allow the cars to actually drive by, like 10 seconds. The camera will then choose an aperture to suit. I also recommend that you shoot after the sun has set, but before the sky is pitch black. This will give you a more dramatic sky. In any case, let's say that you've got your night shot using shutter preferred, but you want more brightness around the house. Easy! Just push the +/- exposure comp button, hold it and turn the dial to +1.0. This now gives you 1 stop more exposure, so retake the photo. Let's say that your original photo is too bright--just push the button and turn the other way for minus, like -0.7.
With practice you can do this with all the subjects you mention. Eventually, you'll figure out that you can meter in shutter preferred and then go into manual and adjust that way, or just meter in manual and adjust from there.
For water, start at 1/30 of a second and move down from there.
For star trails, longer exposures, in minutes, may be needed. And if you center on Polaris you'll get the whole spinning star trails.
Have fun!
