UV FILTER (Ultraviolet): Protects the front element of a lens from dust, dirt, moisture and potential scratches. High quality UV filters can be permanently mounted on lenses with a minimum impact on image quality. In the past, UV filters were also used to prevent the UV light from causing haze and fogginess in older photographic films, which were typically more sensitive to UV rays.

ND8 FILTER (Neutral Density): Reduces the amount of light entering the lens, thus decreasing camera shutter speed. Useful for situations where motion blur needs to be created (rivers, waterfalls, moving people) or large apertures must be used with flash to avoid overexposure. They are also useful for video where relatively long shutter speeds are necessary for good-looking motion

WARMING FILTER: Improves the color of all skin tones and absorbs blue cast often caused by electronic flash or outdoor shade. They add warmth to pale, washed-out flesh tones and are ideal for portraits as they smooth facial details while adding warmth to skin tones.

CPL FIILTER (Circular Polarizing): This filter is pretty much like sunglasses. It adds depth to an image by saturating its color and reducing reflections. It has a rotating ring, so you can slowly rotate the filter while watching how the image changes on your camera’s viewfinder or live view. Polarizers are best for shooting landscapes. They darken skies and make colors pop, as well as eliminate glare and reduce reflections on glassy or water surfaces.
