Happy Lappy Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hey guys, I recently bought a Nikon D5000 and a couple of kit lenses. I'm having a lot of fun, and learning a little everytime I take a few photos. I'm just a beginner and I was wondering what are some of the essentials I need. Most of my pictures will be on the boat and a few landscapes. Will filters help and what type. I took this photo at sunset.

Wanaflatsfish Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Yes, Circular polarizar... Be sure to go with a top name like Hoya... Don't get the inexpensive ones from Best Buy - rocket fish or something..... You've got a good lens.....a good filter will run you $75-80 but, worth the money.. I no longer shoot with UV filters to protect the lens... As one pro told me..if you bang the front of the lens...no thin gl*** is gone help. B&H or Adorma can offer good filters... dc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Food Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Absolutely circular polarizer, great for looking into water, shooting rainbows, glare. Just remember it will darken your light by about 1.5, which is bad on dark days and can be good on bright days, which is another use of the filter.
