Explore Landscapes #88: While many filter affects can be replicated during post-processing, there are two types of filter affects that can't be replicated in post, and need to be created in-camera.
I carry a polarizer and a 10 or 15-stop solid ND. That’s usually all you need (unless you’re shooting slide film). The usefulness of a polarizer to remove glare from water and foliage can not be overstated.
Thanks, Jon. I'm about to head out to Wales and plan to do a fair amount of shooting on the coast. I've been wanting to play more with my ND filters with water, so this is great info for me to have right now!
Hey Sheryl - glad it was useful - enjoy playing with some filters - it’s really the only way of getting used to them and seeing how they affect your images.
Good work Jon, and thank you for the shout out.

Hey Kim - enjoy the Welsh coast and playing with your ND filters :-)
Thanks, Jon! I'll let you know if anything good comes out of it. :)
This was great info... I have only played with filters a few times, but this makes me want to work with them more.
