Which filter?

Sat Aug 15, 2009, 9:48 AM
Ok so I've been hanging around dA for quite a while now soaking up the beauty, art, and brilliance of the artists that I admire. I've saved up a tiny amount that *I think* will be enough to buy 2 filters (yeah I'm poor, being penny-less comes with being job-less.)

I know I need a CPL (skies and reflections), a ND (long exposure), and a Grad ND (land/seascape). (I got them right, right?)

But which brand of filters do I go buy? Do i get the traditional screw in filters or the Cokin (or similar) system? How many stops ND is really the most practical to get if I only had the chance to have one for now?

I appreciate the help.

Might actually need to send this as a message later o__O

I joined dA a year ago just looking at digital art, then disappeared for 2 months before finally coming back with a new-found love for photography. I absolutely love photography- art, expression, technique, whatever! Landscapes have always been my passion but I don't get out enough.
