The Blackstone ND 3 Stops filter is ideal for making aperture adjustments, providing that sought-after shallow depth of field look. It's perfect for longer exposures during sunrise, sunset, or in shaded areas. The Blackstone ND 6 Stops filter is a versatile all-rounder, particularly favored by landscape photographers. It offers just the right density to create a pleasing long exposure effect in virtually any conditions. For those looking to create truly ethereal images, the Blackstone ND 10 Stops filter is a true long exposure filter. It enables photographers to capture misty water, ethereal clouds, and effectively blur-out people from crowded urban areas. What sets Blackstone ND filters apart is their 100% neutral and 100% resolution feature. Unlike legacy dye-based ND filters that suffer from serious color cast, Blackstone ND filters represent a significant advancement in ND filter technology. They feature the next generation of Vapor Deposition Coated (VDC) technology, which is perfectly neutral across all spectrums of light, including UV and IR. This ensures high-resolution images with zero diffusion effect. The Blackstone Infrared ND Filter is made with fire-polished Schott Ultra White Glass, renowned for its crystal-like appearance and extremely high transmittance across the visible light spectrum. This ultra-white optical glass features an extremely flat, fire-polished surface to eliminate any visible distortions caused by surface imperfections. Designed and extensively tested on high megapixel Phase One cameras, Blackstone ND filters are capable of resolving light at a sufficient resolution, even for cameras regularly resolving 40+ to 50+ megapixels and medium format cameras at 100 megapixels. In line with Wine Country Camera's mission to provide the most innovative products for photographers, the Blackstone Infrared ND Filter is made with the finest materials, ensuring it's not just a tool, but a valuable addition to your photography kit.

Digital HT filters Tiffen Digital HT filters are a state-of-the-art technological breakthrough in multi-coated photo and video filters. Made for the discerning professional and imaging enthusiast, Digital HT filters with Hi-Trans Double-Sided Titanium Multi-Coating surpass even military specifications for hardness and durability. Digital HT - High Transmission - filters offer the strength of a Titanium coating combined with the purest optical quality glass and Tiffen's Academy-Award-winning ColorCore technology. They present unmatched scratch-resistant durability and worry-free cleaning while other coated filters on the market today cautiously suggest delicate, if any, cleaning procedures, in fear of destroying the coating (and thereby the filter). And that's not all - these High Transmission filters feature a low profile titanium finish ring and anti-reflective black lock ring which sets these filters apart from the rest. Digital HT Polarizing Filters Polarizers provide color and contrast enhancement. Reflected light often shows up as whitish glare that washes out color in an image. A Polarizer corrects this problem producing deep, dramatically blue skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water. Color saturation in general, especially outdoors, can be improved significantly. Polarizer/Circular Polarizer Essential general-use outdoor color filter Produces deeper skies and minimizes reflections in black and white and color photography Combine a Polarizer with a Red 25 (available separately) for incredibly dramatic black and white landscapes Can be rotated to achieve desired effect Use the Tiffen Polarizer with the enhancing filter for more dramatic effects A Circular Polarizer has the same effect as a Polarizer and is used on cameras with beam splitting metering systems commonly found on auto focus SLR's (for most 35mm auto-focus cameras see your camera manual). Area of sky most effectively polarized with a Circular Polarizer: Point your index finger at the sun. With your thumb extended at a right angle (90½), rotate it around the axis of the index finger.

The must-have filter in every photographer’s camera bag, Hoya’s NXT Plus 72mm Circular Polarizer has 10 layers of Hoya’s patented anti-reflection (AR) multi-coatings so your images show improved contrast, color and sharpness. The filter applies a waterproof top-coat to Hoya’s polished smooth "Clear" glass for easy cleaning of dirt, smudges and water. The polarizing film is optical thin with a filter factor of 1.72 (less than 2 stops) for faster AF and improved viewing over standard PL films. Hoya’s high quality polarized glass is mounted into a precision milled aluminum slim frame, making it lightweight and perfect for all of your lenses including super wide-angle lenses. Despite the slim profile the filter includes front filter threads so you can attach additional filters or your protective lens cap. Polarizers do one thing: Remove Reflections. Think sunglasses for your lenses. By removing reflections, you reveal the color, texture and detail beneath. So, leaves are greener, skies are bluer, and the beautiful rocks at the bottom of that secret mountain lake are revealed. CRPL’s are also great for removing reflections from car windows, and painted surfaces. Depending on the lighting conditions the effect can be dramatic or subtle but it never hurts to pop it on and give it a try. Circular polarizers are easy to use too. Once attached to your lens simply rotate the outer ring of the filter while looking through your viewfinder or screen until you achieve the right amount of reflection control. When the colors and detail look right, take the picture.
