Hi

the “black” one is a polarizer they are for removing glare and reflections and make blue skys richer and the clouds stand out more

EDIT: you might mean ND filters, but i dont think so, if you are they are for reducing the light the sensor/film recieves so slower shutter speeds can be used

EDIT2: vance and Dr Sam have answered you well, Masons emotive answer proves he knows very little about photography, doubt he owns a polarizer or knows how to use one…….vance or sam for best me thinks
