In photography, special professional photography, polarizing filters are used. The filter suppresses light waves coming from a different direction than parallel to the lens axis. This allows you to eliminate glare from surfaces such as glass or water, increase the saturation of the sky and emphasize the whiteness of the clouds, and improve the overall colors and contrast of the photographed scene.
