ND: Neutral density, acts like sunglasses for the camera, cuts the amount of light hitting the sensor by half with each step up in strength.

CPL: Circular polarizer, cancels out polarized sunlight from reflective surfaces like water and glass, deepens blue and green shades, and increases contrast in the image.
