In the field of photography, filters, as an important auxiliary tool, have always been favored by photographers. I was fortunate to experience the H&Y Filter, which launched a two-in-one filter that combines adjustable ND + CPL polarizer, providing photographers with more creative possibilities. Let me share my experience with you in detail.
The H&Y EVO VND+CPL filter is mainly black, with a simple and elegant appearance and a compact size. The filter size is optional. I chose the 67mm specification, which is suitable for a variety of lenses (such as Tamron 17-70, Fuji 70-300, Fuji 56 1.2).
The switching design of the adjustable ND3-1000+CPL polarizer is ingenious, which is convenient for quickly switching shooting modes to meet the needs of different scenes.
The stepless adjustment function of this filter makes exposure control more flexible. In actual use, I tried different gears from ND3 to ND1000 and found that it performed well in reducing the amount of light entering. Especially in strong light environments, it can easily achieve long exposure effects and capture the dynamics of silky water flows and clouds.
CPL filters are outstanding in eliminating reflections and improving color saturation. When shooting water and sky, they can effectively remove reflections and make the picture clearer and more transparent. At the same time, CPL filters can also enhance the contrast of blue sky and white clouds, making landscape works more visually impactful.
In the actual shooting scene, in order to achieve a soft atmosphere, I added an additional 1/4 black mist filter. This filter can effectively soften the highlight edges, reduce the contrast of the picture, and make the overall tone more harmonious and natural, thus giving the work a unique artistic texture.
During this trip to western Sichuan, it showed excellent performance in complex and changing shooting environments, helping me capture many wonderful pictures.
The pictures shown below are all original pictures (only the portrait part is smoothed), which directly shows the actual shooting effect of the filter.
At the foot of the snow-capped mountains in western Sichuan, I tried to use an adjustable ND to reduce the strong light of the plateau, forming a strong contrast with the surrounding cold rocks. At this time, with the CPL filter, the details of the mountain and the layering of the sky are more prominent.
The model's skin color appears transparent and natural under the soft light, and the mountains in the background show a dynamic blur effect due to the long exposure, which makes the picture more story-telling.
The H&Y EVO series filter (adjustable ND3-1000 + CPL) redefines the experience of using photographic filters with its innovative design and excellent performance.
The design takes portability into full consideration, and its overall weight is only 52 grams. Such a light weight makes it easy to place it in the side pocket of a camera bag without any burden on carrying. It is very suitable for travel photography and greatly facilitates the photographer's shooting needs in different scenes.
Whether it is landscape, portrait or urban photography, it can help photographers easily cope with complex lighting conditions and unleash unlimited creative possibilities.
