Thread: Can we talk Photography?????

aye up Jon

Can't go wrong with a polarizing filter out here - brings out amazing colours especially once you head to the red centre

Cool - thanks for that.

Now I just need to decide on whether to stick one on the 77mm dia 70-200 lens or the smaller dia 17-85... or push the boat out... a little bit further

Hello Jon...

I have a Canon 30D and use a polarizer on my 17-85 EF-S lens..also use a UV skylight on my bigger lens ..

Get some amazing colours down here..my son has taken some excellent pictures of the local parrots and rosellas ..the colours of these birds are pretty spectacular..

As mentioned by White 110..head to the centre and the scenery turns to some really weird shades of red..sunset's and sunrises are worth the effort..

cheers,
Richard

One of the first things i bought for my canon lenses was a circular polarizing filter for when i went to Africa and i always keep a skylight filter on for normal use - plus the added protection value.

Just buy one of each - you'll use them.

Luckily my std and tele lens have the same filter size but after getting bored of constantly changing the fliter between lens I just forked out for another polarizing filter - it was worth it

Guess where?

Nd filters are good. You can get different grades.

Id also buy clear filters for all your lenses. They're great protection, especially when shooting on a beach with salt spray.

If there are any pro photographers on here in brisbane, or those into large fomat photography, can you shoot me a pm.. i have a few questions.

critical point by loanrangie... must go with the CIRCULAR Polariser and adjust accordingly for each shot. B&W brand if you can afford it. when the circ pol is taken off, I'd always put on a UV purely for lense protection.


I'd also go for a few graduated filters like neutral density, tobacco and blue to bring out either/both the colours of the land and/or the sky or improve the density of the sky.

lots of options, but don't let the filters drive your shotmaking, take plenty, take em often and make plenty of backups and backups of backups!!
