Filters

 

 

 

Experiment with filters. They are relatively cheap and can have a dramatic impact on your end results.

71. Light balancing, gradated, polarising and neutral density filters have no effect on the colour of the picture, but are used to correct lighting variations and to reduce reflections.

72. A light red skylight filter will supply a warm effect to your picture.

73. A blue skylight filter will supply a cool effect to your picture.

74. Using a filter will reduce the light in a scene. You can compensate for this by using a slower shutter speed or use a wider aperture.

75. By purposely underexposing the picture, the more impact the filter will have and the darker the colour of the final result.
