Filters for Nikon Cameras

Filters have an incredibly important effect on your images and are absolutely necessary if you’re looking to have a more creative range in your photography. Even though Photoshop is around to do just about anything we want to our photos, if you are serious about photography, filters are a must, even for digital SLR Nikon Cameras.

It was Ansel Adams who said that human perception and the photographic processes are completely different. So with that said, its imperative that photographers use filtration in their photography to create a truly creative image. Filters are great because they allow you to reflect your imagination, as opposed to a simply Xeroxing reality as you see it. Filters are also handy for your Nikon cameras when you’re in an area with bad lighting and need to compensate.

Grad neutral density and Polarizing filters are a necessity because the results you get from using these simply cannot be duplicated, even with Photoshop. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays go into your lens. They are handy for removing unwanted reflections and saturate colors providing better contrast. Color conversion filters are also great for producing a warmer tone for images by balancing daylight and artificial lighting.
