Photographers often use polarized lenses on their cameras to obtain bolder colors and deeper contrast in their photos.

Imagine standing on the shore in the early morning looking out in the water, off in the distance there’s a boat that you can barely see because of the powerful glare from the sun. You put on your polarized sunglasses and the intense glare is drastically reduce and you can not only see the boat but you see the scenery in full detail, color, and contrast…this is what polarized lenses can do.

How Do Polarized Lenses Work?

Polarized lenses differ from non-polarized lenses in one main way. Vertical “Polarizers” block transmission of horizontal light through polarized sunglass lenses. The result is that polarized lenses reduce glare created by the sun’s reflection off horizontal planes such as the hood of a car, the road, and water surfaces. The difference between the two types of lenses is quite apparent when you directly compare the two. To do so, hold both up to a sunny road or path; you’ll notice immediately that by reducing glare on the surface, the polarized lenses enable you to clearly distinguish between lines and textures.
