Here we have discussed the top filters that might be useful for cameras while taking a photo shoot of a property.
1. Skylight / UV Filter
Transparent filter that prevents dirt, dust, grime, or droplets of water from damaging the camera lens. It is smart and economical equipment that protects one of the most vital and expensive parts of a camera. It is recommended to keep the filter on, especially when a shoot is in dusty, wet, or muddy environments. It also assists in filtering out UV light and reduces haze effects.
2. Polarizer
It usually comes with a rotating mount and the effects vary as a filter is turned. The effects can be seen through the camera’s viewer or rear screen. As the filter is rotated it will be evident to see reflections in objects appear or disappear. A polarizer also helps to increase colour saturation. For example Exterior real estate images, darken blue skies, allowing better contrast between the sky, clouds, and the property itself.
3. Neutral Density Filter
This filter can also be called sunglasses which helps in reducing the amount of light entering a camera lens and reaching the sensor. It does this without affecting the colours. Unlike a polarizer, it is not required to position the filter. Furthermore, the focusing and metering systems of a camera can be used normally.
4. Graduated Neutral Density Filter
The filter comes with a dark tint at the top and clear glass at the bottom part. When the dark section of the glass is placed over a bright sky and aligns the transition between dark and clear on the horizon, it delivers a photo shot with more balanced exposures between the foreground and background.
This filter is available in different potencies in the dark portion and different transitions between the clear and dark spots. There are currently two types of transitions i.e., hard or soft.
-
- Hard transitions render from clear to dark very suddenly. These are usually employed to shoot photos with clear and uncluttered horizons like images of a home with a seascape backdrop.
-
- Soft transition renders gradual change from clear to dark. This type of filter is suitable for real estate images whose backgrounds have mountains, trees, or skyscrapers above the horizon. It is essential to accurately arrange the filter so the transition between the dark and clear parts lines up with the horizon.
5. Variable Neutral Density Filter
This filter assists to adjust the “strength” of the tint with the help of rotating the filter elements. Attach the filter to the camera lens before preparing for a real estate photo shot. Set to manual exposure and focus and adjust the filter to its lowest strength. Now gradually increase it to the desired effect for the required photo shot of the property.
