Camera Lens Filters: Enhancing Your Photography

At PROtog, we know how vital photography filters and camera lens filters are to a shoot. Which is why we’ve created such an incredible range of camera filters, landscape filters, and so much more. No matter which camera lens filter you need—be it square or round—we know we’ll have what you need.

Square filters use slide in filters and can be stacked for multiple effects. Round filters screw directly to the front of the lens.

A circular polarizer (CPL) is a great addition to any photographer’s gear bag. It is inexpensive but can have a big effect on the right type of scene. A circular polarizer effectively cuts down reflections on water, making it an ideal accessory for seascapes and other images that contain bodies of water. It has the same effect for other highly reflective surfaces such as glass or polished steel. Furthermore, it adds contrast and saturation to a clear sky, giving it a nice-looking deep blue. Athabasca have crafted RAZOR, the worlds thinnest Circular Polarizer range of filters to provide maximum performance with minimum added weight and size. When it comes to thin photography filters, Athabasca are leading the way.

UV and protector filters, on the other hand, are used as a way to shield the front lens element from scratches and smudges without visible degradation of image quality. Athabasca are the worlds first filter manufacturer to incorporate Gorilla Glass into their filters, creating the worlds strongest protective Filters.

Neutral Density (ND) Filters allow you to reduce the amount of light entering the camera, allowing for longer exposures. Neutral Density filters come in a range of grades to allow you to control how long the exposure will be to achieve the effect you want. Athabasca have created the most durable square filters by tempering the glass in their BLADE square filters, making them much more resistant to accindntal breakage, and at the same time 40% thinner and lighter, so you can carry less weight, adn travel further to capture the perfect shot.

What Are Lens Filters and Why Use Them?

Lens filters are optical accessories mounted in front of the camera lens to modify how light enters the sensor. Each filter type performs a specific function:

Circular Polarisers (CPL): Reduce reflections and enhance contrast and saturation, especially for skies, water, and glass.
Neutral Density (ND) Filters: Cut down on light transmission, allowing for longer exposures or wider apertures in bright conditions.
Graduated ND (GND) Filters: Transition from dark to clear to balance high-contrast scenes such as bright skies over darker landscapes.
Multi-Stop ND Filters: Used for extreme long exposure effects, such as smoothing water or cloud motion.

How Lens Filters Enhance Image Quality and Control

Extended Exposure Control: ND and GND filters enable slower shutter speeds in daylight, ideal for capturing motion blur in waterfalls, oceans, or clouds.

Dynamic Range Management: Graduated filters assist in high-contrast lighting conditions by darkening bright areas (e.g., skies) without affecting shadows, helping retain detail across the scene.

Improved Colour and Clarity: Polarising filters reduce atmospheric haze and eliminate reflections from non-metallic surfaces, improving colour saturation and depth in outdoor scenes.

Real-Time Creative Effects: Filters allow you to achieve final results in-camera, maintaining image quality by reducing reliance on digital editing or bracketing.

Typical Photography Applications

Landscape Photography: Control exposure and saturation in natural lighting, balance skies and foregrounds, and produce clean, high-resolution compositions.

Long Exposure Photography: Create smooth motion in water, clouds, and crowds without overexposing your image, even in daylight conditions.

Architectural and Real Estate Photography: Remove glass reflections or adjust sky brightness while maintaining realism and detail across complex lighting conditions.

Travel and Outdoor Shoots: Filter kits provide all essential tools in a compact form, allowing versatile in-field adaptation without relying on post-processing.
