What filters to use under direct sunlight?

[Fidgetspinner]

If the scene is so bright that after increasing my cam shutter speed to maximum, and stop down aperture to smallest, reduce ISO to minimum.
What type of filters can i use in front of my lens? Will the polarizing filter help? I just need to reduce the glare on the scene so that the image at least look properly exposed.

A CPL reduces light by about 1.5 stops, depending on the brand and quality. Some high end types are closer to 1 stop only.
For anything else, Neutral Density (ND) filters are your friend. They come in different variations, usually 3, 6 and 10 stops of light reduction.

You can use a polarising filter ( cpl ) but it cut about 2 stops. You also need to rotate the filter to get the minimum glare or reflection.

Traditionally you would use a neutral density filter, a cheap variable Nd or those that have different strengths.
