My dear one and I are off to Vermont for a glorious weekend! I will be taking my NEX 5n along, and would appreciate any suggestions re: capturing brilliant reds and oranges against brilliant blue skys. Will post the best when we return.
Thanks Folks!

Just don't forget your polarizer! If you don't use a polarizer you will be shocked at how flat your photos look.

The effects of many of the filters can be achieved in post processing as well (with some exceptions. The ND filter effects really can't be duplicated in post & the polarizer can't either, to a degree anyway. The others simply are not needed. Another point about filters is that all the major makers, make different "grades" of filters (IE, different price points) & even the better brands can have crappy lower end products. That said, a higher cost filter isn't a guarantee of superior quality either...My suggestion is to shoot in Raw (if you don't already) as you will have more latitude in post processing...

We have about two weeks before peak here. What lens(es) will you use with the NEX?
