KANI CPL Filter
CPL (Circular Polarizing) Filter is a type of optical filter used in photography to reduce unwanted reflections and glare. It is especially effective for minimizing reflections from surfaces such as water, glass, and other shiny materials. If necessary, the effect can be adjusted to increase or decrease the amount of reflection filtered out.
For example, when taking photos of objects inside a glass display case or behind a window, reflections and glare on the glass can make it difficult to clearly see and capture what’s inside. In such situations, using a CPL filter allows you to eliminate those reflections and glare, resulting in clearer, sharper images of the objects behind the glass. By rotating the CPL filter, you can control and reduce the unwanted reflections and shadows appearing on the surface.
Another example is when photographing people sitting inside a car with the windows closed. Reflections and glare on the car windows often prevent you from getting a clear shot of the people inside. By rotating the CPL filter, you can effectively remove those reflections and glare. Conversely, if you want to obscure the view of the people inside, you can also use the CPL filter to increase the reflections and make it harder to see through the glass.
Moreover, the CPL filter is an essential tool for landscape photography, especially when shooting scenes with water, oceans, waterfalls, or skies. When photographing landscapes, waterfalls, or greenery, reflections can cause the scene to appear less vibrant, greens to look dull, clouds to blend into the sky, water surfaces to appear overly bright, and clear underwater areas to become invisible. By rotating the CPL filter, you can adjust the effect as needed to achieve the desired clarity and color.
When shooting scenes with water, oceans, rivers, or skies, the CPL filter helps reduce unwanted brightness on the water, enhances the visibility of underwater details, and makes the sky appear a deeper blue with more defined clouds. In all these situations, you can rotate the CPL filter to achieve the effect you want for your photograph.
