Filters

Heya

Do you think filters are useful nowadays? Though I exclude ND filters because undoubtedly you still need them, but i refer more to tinted filters. With digital phtoography is it still practical? After all, post processing effects can achieve colour changes in a much more 'accurate' way...

what do you guys think?

I think GND filters are very useful in Landscape photography
Tinted,not so IMHO
because as you say,the color changes can now be achieved in PS
maybe there're still purists out there who believe in minimal PS ?:think:

why only nd filters ?

honestly i dont know much about filters and did a brief read up and saw the various types of tinted filters which i didnt see the point of (since you can just PS it) but ND filters i can see a use for for things such as slow shutter speed in high light scenarios (e.g. river scene etc)

i think only cpl, nd, gnd are useful now, and i heard some like BY/Blue-gold filter can deliver good effects, buy yea, ps all the way nowadays.

Please educate me what is CPL? is it circular polariser? - i.e. reflection reducing. in which case yeah i guess that's the only other one i suppose...

GND is gradient neutral density right?

GOOGLE!
Just google both of the filters. You will be amazed at amount of information you can find by doing that.

Other than a few fancy products, their usual items still works the same as other makers
GND is still a GND
