Polarizing Filters - What Are They? What Do They Do? Do I Need One? Hi and welcome to Episode 135 of the Photography Explained podcast.

Here is the answery bit
Polarizing filters are normally attached to the front of a camera lens, and filter out reflected light waves giving clearer images. Polarizing filters are used to reduce reflections, darken skies and also can enhance contrast, saturation, colours and vividness in a photo.

So pretty good then? And yes I have one. And I love it.
