    🧭 What Is a Camera Filter?

    A camera filter is a piece of optical glass (or high-quality resin) that changes how light enters the lens.
    Filters can:

    • Reduce reflections or glare
    • Darken bright skies
    • Protect your lens from dust or scratches
    • Enhance colors and contrast
    • Allow long exposures during daylight

    They’re the photographer’s equivalent of sunglasses, but with much more control and creative potential.
