Polarizing Filters reduce reflections and glare, they are a neutral color and can be used for color or black and white imaging. As the light coming from the sun is not polarized parts of the light become partially polarized due to the scattering of particles in the atmosphere. This scattering reduces the transparency of the air and creates haze in the distance and the blue in the sky on a sunny day.
Polarization also controls in the reflections of light on the original color of the surface.
The Heliopan Polarizer improves the color of the sky, (in distant pictures, mountain scenes, etc.) it reduces the bluish cast in landscapes and increases the blue color of the sky. The effect is strongest at a 90° angle to the sun.
In addition polarizers enhance the color saturation of the scene by suppressing the reflections on the surface, undesired reflections are largely eliminated.
While increasing color saturation with software can also improve the color saturation the faded parts of the leaves in the illustration above will increase as well. This procedure will not replace the need for a polarizer. For digicams we recommend using a circular polarizer, linear polarizers may result in incorrect exposure or focus under some lighting conditions. They are available with or without SH-PMC coating and in slim or standard rims. The rims are calibrated to help in finding the proper settings when a TTL preview is not available.
About Heliopan Filters
Whether for analog or Digital Photography: The best results are achieved by using correction filters - not by digitally enhancing in a software program as once undesired light parts are included in the image information a correction can only be achieved by reducing quality, if at all. For example, a simulated IR effect will always remain a simulation and softness from UV radiation in the blue channel, if no filter is used, will occur. The filter program from Heliopan, made in Germany, allows you to produce images of the highest quality, right from the
start.
For brilliant color reproduction, highest contrast and sharpness Heliopan
offers:
- The highest quality optical glass from the German Schott Group
- The longest life expectancy thanks to brass filter rims
- Minimal reflections because of matte black filter rings
- At least one high quality hard coating on each filter side to reduce stray light, to maintain high contrast and to avoid flare (Reflections are reduced from 8% to only 2.5% for each glass to air surface on each side of the filter).
