- I'm shooting outdoors, and I'm looking for a filter to really enhance the blues in my subject, specifically the sky. Any possible recommendations?
Just be very careful using it at the very wide end. You can end up with only part of the sky darkened.
Could you elaborate some more on what you mean? I'm new to photography.
I'd really only get a CPL for shooting through glass/water on a sunny, sunny day. RAW can take care of the rest by adjust highlights and vibrancy.
Pretty sure the HD designation refers the hardened glass they use in the so-designated filters. According to Hoya, "Hoya HD camera filters feature a hardened optical glass that has 4 times the breaking strength in ANSI standardized testing (ANSI Z80.3 : 2001) where steel balls of varying size and weight were dropped from a height of 50 inches onto the glass."HD? Heavy Duty? Home Depot? Hard Drive? Heart Disease? Highway Department? Horizontal Decelerator? Heaven's Disciples? Hip Disarticulation?
Meaning: "HD" on the box is Madison Avenue gobbledegook. They could just as easily say Gluten Free.
