TRANSFORM YOUR SCENICS MASTER THE MAGIC OF FILTERS

Photography is all about light, and the ability to control it is an essential skill, regardless of the subjects you shoot. Landscape photography typically relies on natural light and weather conditions - unlike studio photography, for instance, where the photographer has full control over light and exposure. But despite this huge difference, landscape photographers can use filters to control the way that light enters the lens. The extent of this control available is surprisingly high, and whether you aim to simply control exposure or add in-camera creative effects, you're only ever a few steps away you simply need to know what's available alongside how and when to use a specific filter or even several filters at once.

There comes a time in landscape photography when simply arriving on location with just a camera and tripod isn't enough to fulfil a photographer's aims. It's the natural order of personal development, and the next step is to start using filters to take greater creative control of your exposures. If you've ever looked at a flawless landscape photo and wondered how it was taken, there's a good chance filters were used, so we're going to show you everything you need to know about filters to take full creative control of your landscape photography.
