Default Filters are amazing.

I love my filter, it works so well during sunsets! Lol. Anyone else here use filters?

What filter?
The only filters I use are a UV one and a polarized one.

I recently saw some photos taken with a green filter and a star filter. They were amazing. I'm going to start out with the star filter and see how I like it. For those of you that use filters, do you buy the contraption to afix them to the outside of your camera or do you simply switch them out with your protective lense filter? -Jeanie

I'm just discovering filters too! I have a UV filter on all the time just to protect my lense (I think it's called a UV filter anyway). I also have a polarized one that I've only just started playing with. And today I bought a ND (Neutral Density?) 8 - which removes 3 stops of light. I'm trying to get that blurred people / long exposure look during day time.

Jeanie - I use Hoya filters, so they screw into each other. You don't have to take off the protective filter, just add the other one on top.

Terri: I have a ND filter. What I think it does best is takes pics of moving water on bright days on a slow shutter speed. It gives the water that soft ghost-like effect. They have some cool older filters that were used more back in the 70's with film cameras that look really fun to play with.
