Top tips for you and your camera
# 1 - CAMERA LENS
Let's start with your camera - first things first let's protect the lens. Your lens is an expensive piece of equipment buy it a filter and protect that expensive glass. If you always keep it on you will protect your lens and avoid having to replace when it gets scratched or damaged. A simple UV or skylight filter is a good starting place and wont effect the finished look of any images you capture. However if you have a particular interest then the following might be interesting alternatives:
- If you do lots of outdoor photography then a polarizing filter might be more your thing and will give you images that have beautiful blue skies and lush green trees.
- If you like your water to look misty and smooth then think about neutral density filters - these will allow you to shot in lower light levels and lower shutter speeds and slow down water.
- If you are a colour fiend then you might like to add a colour filter to your lens - every colour in the rainbow is available.
Whatever you decide look after your lens. Buy a filter for each one. I have a UV or skylight filter on each of mine.
