Let the thrill of discovery guide your steps through lush forests and along sparkling streams. Each adventure promises a unique photo experience, filled with the charm and excitement that only spring can bring. Are you ready to dive into the wonders of the season?
Using NATural ND filters is perfect for capturing the vibrant hues of freshly bloomed flowers and rejuvenated landscapes. These filters allow you to photograph your surroundings without any color distortion or compromise. Spring provides a stunning backdrop for photography, so there's no need to alter the beauty that your eyes perceive. Many other ND filters introduce unwanted green, gray, or blue tints, but our NATural ND filters let you capture exactly what is in front of your camera.
Spring is a magical time for photography, and to truly capture its enchanting essence, we recommend exploring additional filters. Dive into the world of close-up filters, ideal for those stunning shots of blooming flowers. Imagine the dreamy effect of Black Pro-Mist, Warm Pro-Mist, which gently soften colors and create ethereal glowing highlights, reminiscent of the breathtaking impressionist landscapes by masters like Renoir and Monet. This technique perfectly encapsulates the vibrant and delicate beauty of Spring, bringing your photos to life with an artistic flair.
The Tiffen Double Fog and Fog Filter captures the essence of spring by mimicking the gentle effects of morning mist, creating a soft glow around highlights and reducing the overall contrast in the scene. It enhances the soft, fresh atmosphere of spring as light interacts with blooming flowers and vibrant landscapes. The 1 density offers a subtle mist effect, perfect for capturing the serene beauty of springtime, without needing any exposure compensation.

Sunrise and Sunsets
Spring's sunrises and sunsets are truly breathtaking, painting the sky with mesmerizing hues that captivate the soul.
As spring arrives and the weather warms up, getting up early to photograph the sunrise becomes more appealing than during the chilly winter months. Our Graduated Sunrise Filter is perfect for adding more "punch" to an otherwise ordinary scene. The yellow-orange filter brings a dramatic flair to any sunrise, making your photos stand out.
For capturing stunning sunrise or sunset shots, we recommend the Color Graduated Blue Filter. This filter boosts the vibrancy of your images by adding color selectively, while leaving the rest of the scene untouched.
If you're looking for an MPTV filter for your spring sunrise or sunset photography, consider the 4 x 4 Sunset Soft Edge Graduated Filter or the 4 x 4 Skyfire Graduated Filter. These filters enhance any sunrise or sunset by adding a warm orange and yellow tint, complementing the natural beauty of the scene. They are particularly effective in enhancing hazy or dull skies on overcast spring mornings.
If you usually use round filters but want to try both the 4 x 4 Sunset and Skyfire filter, you can always use a Pro100 Series Filter holder to accommodate for this!

Waterfalls, Lakes, and Rivers in Spring Photography
With the arrival of spring, it's the perfect time to head outdoors and embrace the beauty of nature through photography. As the weather warms up, capturing the serene beauty of waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and ponds becomes an enticing opportunity. Our Polarizer Filters, available in Linear and Warm options, are ideal for eliminating glare from non-metallic surfaces like water, enhancing your spring photography.
These Polarizer Filters come in both Screw-In and MPTV sizes, proudly crafted in the U.S.A., and include a 10-year warranty for lasting quality.
To achieve stunning long exposure shots that highlight the movement and flow of water, consider using both Variable ND and ND filters. These tools will help you capture the dynamic essence of springtime waterscapes.
