A polarizing filter is one of the most essential tools in a photographer’s bag. It is typically the first filter landscape photographers buy to instantly improve their pictures by adding vividness and contrast to them. Putting a polarizing filter on your lens is like wearing a pair of polarized sunglasses over your eyes – the polarized glass blocks random light waves from passing through, creating a clearer image. In this article, we will go through detailed information on polarizing filters, what they do, why they are important, and why you should consider using them for your photography needs.

One of our favorite long-running traditions in the Clickin Moms community is our bimonthly forum contest. We announce a new theme at the beginning of the month and our fabulous members share what they were inspired to capture.
In May and June, the Clickin Moms community worked to create images for the theme “Smile” and they definitely inspired us – it was hard to narrow it down!
Congratulations to Lisa Johnson for her winning shot (above) that has earned her a live Breakout session from Click Photo School!
