Hi
I have a Nikon D3000, I just bought the camera, I was wondering if I should get filters for it. And any good texts to read about the techniques etc.
Thanks
When I buy a new lens I always buy a basic UV Or SkyLight filter at the same time. This goes on to the new lens before it goes out of the shop.
With digital cameras and the likes of Photoshop, etc. the only other filter you should seriously condiser is a polarising filter. This filter reduces glare and make colours more saturated, very much the same as a pair of polarising sunglasses do for your eyes. It can also cut out a lot of reflection off glass and water. The polarising filters affect is one thing Photoshop can’t recreate – OK there is no doubt some people who will boast that they can do it. Just use the filter, its so much easier.
