Good Filter tips. Agree!
I’ve been doing some research on filters and this is most likely the best video I’ve run across on the most applicable filters for landscape photography. Thank you.
Points of clarification:
1. ND filters decrease, not increase, shutter speeds (i.e. get slower not faster)
2. I have been involved in photography for over 45 years now. I’ve seen numerous instances of UV filters actually preventing major damage to a coated lens surface. While it is true, they do little else, they do afford protection to a much more expensive piece of your gear to replace relative to the cost of the filter should it get scratched or damaged. Also, There are a few brands of filters that do manufacture their products with very clear optical glass. Some are even multi-coated to reduce aberration and flare. Just don’t cheap out and buy the least expensive filters is the answer. Think of them as a clear lens cap.
