Welcome
The term "Framed" refers to the act of enclosing or presenting something within a frame, which is a common practice in photography to enhance the visual appeal of an image. "Shot" relates to capturing a photograph, often used to describe the act of taking a picture. Together, "The Framed Shot" suggests a focus on both the artistic presentation of photographs and the moments captured, implying a professional and curated approach to photography. The name evokes a sense of artistry and attention to detail in the photography business.
Polarizer
A polarizing filter (or polarizer) is a lens accessory used in photography to control reflections, glare, and enhance certain aspects of light by selectively filtering out polarized light. Light, when reflecting off of non-metallic surfaces (like water, glass, or even foliage), becomes at least partially "polarized," meaning its waves vibrate predominantly in one plane. A polarizing filter, attached to the front of a camera lens, consists of a polarizing material that blocks light vibrating in a specific plane. By rotating the filter, you adjust which plane of polarized light is filtered out, thus controlling the effect on the image. Reduce reflections and glare: Polarizers are excellent at cutting down on reflections from surfaces like water, glass, wet rocks, and foliage, allowing you to see through them or reduce their distracting impact. Intensify colors and saturation: By reducing reflections and haze caused by scattered light, polarizers can make colors appear more vibrant and saturated, particularly in skies (making them a deeper blue) and foliage (making greens richer). In scenes with haze, a polarizer can increase clarity and contrast by reducing the atmospheric glare, especially helpful in distant landscapes and cityscapes. Polarizers can darken bright blue skies, particularly when shot at a 90-degree angle to the sun, enhancing the contrast between the sky and clouds. A polarizer filter allows you to exert creative control over light and reflections in your photographs, especially in outdoor settings, to achieve richer colors, clearer details, and a more pleasing aesthetic that is difficult to replicate in post-processing.
