Ultraviolet Filters

Ultraviolet filters which are sometimes called UV filters provide basic reduction of UV light found especially in high altitudes when the UV-absorbing atmosphere is thinner. UV light can cause many things including blue color and loss of detail especially in pictures taken from long distances. This is where your ultraviolet filters come in. They will give your pictures greater details and color than otherwise maybe possible if you didn't use them. Other times photographers will leave them on to protect the camera from dust and dirt. Ultraviolet filters are great to use in many instances, but like any other filter they can only do so much for you. Remember a filter is really only as good as the person using it. I know everyone will attach filters thinking that they will make that picture perfect and it just doesn't work that way. Ultraviolet filters do help you out in certain situations, but it's not perfect and it won't prevent you from taking a bad picture. Now don't get me wrong it helps, but it can't cure all the problems.


Many people use ultraviolet filters for long distance pictures as those are using the ones that will give you the most trouble. These are the times you need to use the ultraviolet filter. More people are realizing that the ultraviolet filters can help them and the marketplace have take notice to. Companies are starting to make more and more filters available in the marketplace which is great. Hopefully in the future more education will also be done on this end so the proper use of ultraviolet filters is available. It's great to have a good product out their but if you don't know how to use what you bought what good is it really. In the end though it comes down to the photographer educating himself about the ultraviolet filters. With proper knowledge these filters can take your pictures to the next level. I look for ultraviolet filters to continue to be popular and the use increases so will the knowledge of how to use them will increase. Ultraviolet filters can remove the blue we see in our pictures especially in long distance shots. So, if this is a problem for you than the ultraviolet filter is something that you will need to consider when taking your pictures.

Camera Lens F-Stop Values Explained

Lens aperture settings are commonly knows as f-stops. The letter "f" is an abbreviation of the term "focal-ratio", which describes the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of the light entrance pupil (more commonly called the aperture). The standard sequence of f-stops is: f/1.4 f/2 f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 f/22 On this scale, an f/1.4 setting is the largest aperture, while f/22 is the smallest, and each f-stop in the sequence is half the size of its neighbour to the left, and twice the size of its neighbour to the right. In other words, f/5.6 permits the passage of twice as much light as f/8, but only half the light of f/4. Low f-stop numbers represent larger apertures, and higher f-stop numbers indicate smaller apertures because the f-stop is a ratio is between the size of the aperture and the focal length of the lens; i.e. a bigger number represents a larger difference. Here's the maths for a 50mm lens. f-stop / Diameter (...
