Recommended Camera Filters

Camera filters are transparent or translucent optical elements that alter the properties of light entering the camera lens for the purpose of improving the image being recorded. 

Camera filters can affect contrast, sharpness, highlight flare, color, and light intensity, either individually, or in various combinations.

Camera filters can also create a variety of "special effects."  It is important to recognize that, even though there are many possibly confusing variations and applications, all filters behave a reasonably predictable way when their properties are understood and experienced. (Ira Tiffen)
