Essential Filters for Landscape Photography
What Filters I use
Oh Filters how I love you...
Camera filters are truly an amazing thing. They help you really create a photo in the field rather than create the photo in your post processing. There is something about creating the photo at the moment that you took it. As you know, I am not a huge fan when it comes to post processing. I want to create the image in camera rather than add different effects in post processing. My goal is to reduce my time at the computer and increase my time taking pretty pictures ;)
So, here are a few filters that I have and love:
1. Heliopan Circular Polarizer
This is my go to filter for everything Landscape Photography! I love this filter and a filter I consider a must for any landscape photographer.
2. 10 Stop ND Filter
This filter has truly allowed me to get some amazing shots during the middle of the day. It is like sunglasses for your camera.
3. UV Filter
This filter is a must to protect your gear! That is pretty much all I have to say about this. If you end up dropping your lens, you will crack your UV filter rather than your lens glass. These UV filters are insanely expensive, but worth it in the long run. A lens can be thousands upon thousands of dollars. It is worth the extra $100 for that just in case... it is a security blanket in my opinion.
Leave a comment below and let me know what your essential go to apps are. I am always looking for awesome apps when it comes to photography and adventure.
Wishing you the best,
