1. A camera filter system, comprising,
a plurality of camera filters, each camera filter including:
a ring;
a rim; and
an optical lens;
wherein each optical lens in the plurality of camera filters provides a different optical property for the transmission of light through the optical lens, the different optical properties for each one of the plurality of camera filters applying a unique alteration to light entering the optical lens among the plurality of camera filters, the unique alteration including a polarizing optical property and a brightness filtering property; and
wherein each one of the camera filters in the plurality of camera filters includes a visual indicator as a distinctive base color that is uniquely associated with each different brightness filtering property and polarizing optical property of each optical lens in the plurality of camera filters and that identifies the different optical property of each optical lens in the plurality of camera filters, the distinctive base color for each one of the camera filters in the plurality of camera filters being one of a primary color and a secondary color that is not a shade or gradient of the distinctive base color for any other one of the camera filters in the plurality of camera filters.
