For those unfamiliar with Zion National Park, it is the oldest national park in Utah and what makes it unique is its geological features that were formed more than 250 million years ago creating some of the iconic scenes that we will be sharing with you in this article. Our team set out to share what filters are most often used on photography trips similar to this one; including when and why you should use polarizing filters and neutral density filters, and they’ll also share some advice that we’ve learned shooting with these filters in our own landscape photography.
