What filter is used to shoot the scenery?

You can use CPL (Polarizer), GND medium gray gradient lens and ND filter to shoot scenery.

1, CPL (polarizer)

Using a polarizer can partially eliminate polarized light in the sky, make the sky blue, make the clouds more layered and increase the color saturation of grass. Eliminate the reflection of other objects, such as reducing the reflection on the water surface, shooting through the glass, such as shooting the object behind the glass. If CPL is used, the reflection brought by the glass can be reduced.

In order to eliminate the reflection on the water, we sometimes want to photograph fish or vegetation in the water. Using CPL can reduce the reflection of the water surface and see the bottom of the water more clearly. In order to eliminate the reflection on the surface of plants, we often encounter the problem of reflection from leaves when shooting plants at a macro, which affects the harmony of the picture. The role of polarizer is very obvious.

2. Gray gradient mirror of 2.GND

Generally, photos taken with mobile phones and SLR are easy to be too bright or too dark. We saw beautiful scenery. When we press the shutter, either the ground is extremely dark or the sky is shining, which is really a headache, so we need GND to balance the light ratio.

3.ND filter filter

Subtractor is a kind of grey mirror, which reduces the amount of light entering the camera. Generally, we increase the exposure time by low iso or small aperture. However, a small aperture will degrade the image quality (for example, f22), and the lowest iso is generally used for scenery shooting. For example, when taking pictures of water flow and lake surface, I hope to take pictures of cotton-wool water flow through long-term exposure, and the soft feeling needs to use nd mirror.

Extended data:

Medium gray mirror is a very common filter for photographers, and we can also call it subtracter. As the name implies, its function is to reduce certain light, thus reducing exposure and extending shutter. With the help of ND mirror, the running water is more blurred. If you don't use a subtracter, it is difficult to ensure that you can shoot such an effect without overexposure during the day.

There are also commonly used medium gray gradient lenses, which are generally square. One end of the lens is a gray part similar to a medium gray mirror, and the other end is transparent. When shooting a landscape with large light ratio, the medium gray gradient lens can save your photos, calculate the exposure difference between the sky and the ground, and then choose filters with different gears to balance the light ratio of the picture according to the calculation results.

There is also a medium gray mirror called the inverse medium gray gradient mirror. Its characteristic is that the darkest part is in the middle of the filter, and the color becomes lighter when it reaches the edge of the filter. This kind of lens is mainly used to shoot sunsets and sunrises.
