Hi Everyone,

Just registered in a landscape photography night class yesterday. Found myself totally lost in the terms. So many questions...

Just want to say hi to everybody for now and I like this place and enjoy reading all of your threads!

Thanks everyone, I will check out the link you guys recommended.

I'm going to purchase some GND filters for landscaping lesson in about 2 weeks. B&H (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/) is the north american based online shop that carries lots of filter brands. Could anyone give me some suggestions on choosing the brand since I don't want to replace them when I get a little advanced.

Right now my purchasing list is:

1. kokin filter holder P (+ 77mm ring adapter)
2. 1 GND 2-stop soft edge
3. 1 GND 3-stop hard edge
4. 1 bag holding the filters

For the filters, the brands are: Lee, B+W, Cokin, Hitech, Singh-Ray, Schneider, Tiffen, Hoya

There are just too many of them and I really have no experience of what is good and bad. Any suggestions?

Thank you all in advance!

Jade

Hi Pete,

I've read through this thread you recommended, it is very helpful for me to get to understand more on using filters and very nice landcaping pictures too.

Thanks!
