what kind of the filter good for the sunset ?

I just did a photo shoot of sunset over Anclote Key in the gulf of Mexico using a the Tiffen ND 0.6. amd ISO 100 with a shutter speed of 320. When the sun was nearly down, the light dropped off and I removed the filter and shot a few more frames which gave me a comparison of filter vs no filter. The colors were "richer" (more saturated) with the filter. I used a Canon T4i and a 24-105MM f4.0L lens.

I would think that a graduated neutral density filter would be better for sunsets.

This shade filters a little bit but it's not really a room-darkening shade. At the price, I'd give it a try.

There are many answers to this question. The type of filter depends of the type of photography you do.For myself, I take many pictures near water so I carry polarizing filters for most of my lenses - to cancel reflections and darken the sky. I also use UV filters on my lenses most of the time for protection and to improve contrast.

UV filter coating imbues a slight color tinge, and reduces the amount of light. Clear is actually preferable. UV filtering is unnecessary with modern lenses.

The filter is not included, but any 52mm should work. There are some on Amazon for 5-10 dollars.

You do not need a UV filter with a modern digital camera. A polarizer is good for outdoor landscape work.

Hello BenYou can use any of the ND filters, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 depending on how bright it is. ND filters darken the scene by certain amount of stops depending on the ND filter used.Polarizing filters are often used to eliminate reflections though you can still use it for bright scenes. None of the rest would be useful for what you're doing (underwater, macro or UV).

I actually tried what the other guy recommended. The Neewer 760 filter didn't help at all. You still see the glow.

I made a pair of bino filters from BAADER astrofilm. Google the Baader film -- it can be purchased from more than one source. I made the filter cells from black foam sheets purchased at a craft store (Like JoAnn fabrics) Cut strips to fit around the outside of the apertures; glue ends together using foam glue, to make the bands, and after letting them dry, also take a few stitches with black thread to keep the ends together. Make sure these bands fit securely, but not so tightly that they cannot be removed from the barrels. Cut foam circles for the fronts of the cells, and cut holes in the middles, making rings, maybe 1/2" wide. (more or less, depending on aperture.) Place the outer bands down on the 'front' rings and glue with foam glue. Let dry. A few stitches can be taken to secure the fronts in place. Cut cardboard circles that just fit into the foam cells, with center holes matching the center holes in the cell fronts. Put a layer of 2-sided tape on the cardboard circles after making sure they fit nicely into the filter cells. With the tape side down, lay the cardboard circles carefully onto the Baader film, being careful not to stretch the film. Trim the outside of the circles and insert into the filter cell 'cups.' You can glue them into the cups if you wish. That's all. Put on and enjoy the sunspots. You could make moon filters by repeating the procedure using a neutral density (or other see-through) material that cuts the glare.

Polarizing filter is blocking reflected light, so it lets you to see into water like there is no surface, you can see through windows without reflection of glass, by blocking reflection from pollution in air it makes sky nicely blue.UV filter is a joke, it is blocking UV light, but lenses usually block UV too, but it is neutral filter and is widely used as a protection filter to prevent scratches on optics. Pink filter is used under artificial light to make the picture more natural, but you can do the same by white balance setting, but for film camera it is a good piece.

I use UV or skylight filters, mainly to avoid dust and finger prints in the lens body, bersides my experience does not show me any another advantage. a lens hood certainly would do the job as long as it's placed in the lens; but dust and finger prints take place mainly, when switching lenses.

Alex, I actually shoot with it a lot outdoors as it cuts any glare and deepens contrast. Great filter!

I'm not much a camera tech so I can't authoritatively answer your question, but I have my polarizing filter on top of a regular daylight filter on my Nikon D40.

Should work OK. Remember that the main function of a UV or skylight filter is to protect the lens.

I still have the box. I will see if I can find information. http://www.pegasuslighting.com/optivex-uv-filter.html look at this one

Hi Denise I would start with a skylight 1a or a polarizing filter to protect the lens the lens will have a sign and a number underneath the sign is a circle with a diagonal line through it going from top right to bottom left followed by a number 46 52 67 etc this two figure number is the filter size for that lens

Panasonic circular polarizer filter DMW-LPL46 (46mm) is a really nice polarizer ( I have it). It sells for about $75.00. I also have a Tiffin red enhancing filter for fall foliage ( you don't really need this one, I just like to use it for the maples around here). You might also consider a neutral density filter from B+W, HOYA, or another good brand .
