Filters for Digital Cameras
Aug 15, 2011 12:51:27 #
Little has been written about this subject, and I need some advice. I have a Nikon D-3000, which gives you the option to add "filtering affects" to your exposures right from the camera. I have installed a less-expensive UV filter to protect it. Should I pick up some filters to achieve the results I want? Or, just rely on what the computer chip in the camera has to offer?
Thanks,

Look at "NIC SOFTWare" They have a great filter package called "COLOR FLEX PRO 3. It has every type of filter imaginable for post processing. That way you wont have to mess around with multiple filters in the field. Hope this helps Coz

To my knowledge some filters cannot be replaced by software. Neutral density filters and Polarizing filters for example.

That's true. Although Nic has both of those filters in their package I will admit that neither preforms as well as the on camera versions. I do have both on camera filters in my bag.

And those are the two filters I was going to recommend to carry other than a UV for protection, although UV does actually serve a purpose other than protection in some situations.

digital cameras and lens's do not require filters, outside of your UV or clear glass for protection. any enhancement a filter could provide can be achieved with any of the post processing programs available. The only filter you might like to experiment with would be a Circular Polarized Filter. that is the only filter I know of that cannot be duplicated in post processing.

There seem to be a rash of replies to 2011 discussions showing up lately.

I sometimes still use a light yellow filter left over from my FE days.
It adds extra contrast, especially for skies; that my PSE can readily remove the color.
