Enhance Your Images with Filters
If your digital camera has threads on the front of the lens mount, you can use
photographic filters to enhance your photos. Filters can warm an image, cool
it down, tint an image, and so on. The diameter of the threads on the front of
your lens determines the size of the filters you can purchase for your camera.
A polarizing filter is a handy accessory, which cuts down glare from reflective
surfaces like a pool of water.
