Gavin, the GENUINE look of excitement and happiness on your face during that sunrise is EXACTLY the moment that shows your genuine love for what you do. I know the feeling well and chase it everytime I go out. That was a moment of real and unscripted emotion for photography and the amazing atmosphere the world shows us from time to time. Thanks for sharing that moment.

[@randscottadams490]

I like your videos, in general (though I miss the combo of you and Uncle Grumpy since you moved). This video, where you just straight talked the filter ins-and-outs was really good. You should do more of this kind of practical advice on ancillary gear, from time to time!

Magnificent image @6:45! The sort of seastack image you got on the West cost!

[@Creativecavemanagain]

You are 100% correct! I carry $150 10 stop neutral density filter and a $90 CPL and all of my lenses are the same filter size "67mm". I do own one of those slide in filter holder systems but I never use it, looks cool though 😎.

[@russellbaston974]

The ‘circular’ in CPL is the mode of polarisation (they don’t have to be round !) because ‘linear’ polarisers can interfere with the metering system in cameras, so a quarter wave retardation filter is added to a linear filter to correct the problem. The linear can get a little more polarising effect in some circumstances.

[@Paul197A]

I still use ND and ND grads. Call me old fashion but I do like trying to get it “right” in camera. I have tried the Lightroom approach. The two approaches do give different result imho.

[@luckyman1953]

I absolutely love how you present everything in an entertaining, enjoyable, and teachable manner. Thank you.

[@stephanberger7455]

I absolutely agree to only use a CPL. I learned that in 1988 from a KODAK Co. photographer in Yellowstone N‘tl Park when he let me use his for a test shot. i immediately bought a CPL in the next town and I never regret it. Thanks for this great video! greetings to NS.

[@hybboul7377]

Wow what an incredible sunrise shot !

[@roycarter2797]

I have used CPL and ND filters for years but I just ordered a graduated ND today. And now I’m even more interested in using it. I think it will be fun to give it a try. And I enjoy trying to get an effect outside of editing software like we use to do with film.

Nice marching. A very good vid with real information. I played with ND filters once. I did stop the water and got some blur and it was a fun day. The Polarizer is very old school. As a kid seeing photos where the clouds were black made a big impression on me. I have some old time pics on the wall.

[@brianmckeever5280]

"Turd polisher." I can't imagine what filter company wouldn't want you as a spokesman ;-) I actually think of Michael Shaneblum and Ben Harvey when I think of long exposures. Spectacular image of the sunrise, thank you for sharing. From my point of view, always take the shot and then explain it: Priorities! I do hope the $$$ slows down WRT the church rehab. Keep your eyes on how awesome it will eventually be. Cheers!

[@thureintun1840]

Hi Gavin. Watching your videos from Myanmar. I wouldn’t forget about you because you inspired me to pick up camera and enjoy the process. Keep it up. Cheers.

[@RoseKerin]

I really love your videos this one in particular. I only now use a Polarizer and could not persuade my friend that filters where not needed. I agree they are expensive and also can produce colour casts which are difficult to process. I do search for your videos if I haven't seen them. Enjoy your amusing dialogue. Merry Christmas to you both!

[@MrsSilkiebantam]

I like my Freewell magnetic filters. I mainly use their cpl filter. They also make CPL ND filters, which are nice. No doubling up filters to get extra long exposures with polarization. They don't have vignetting or colour cast.

[@digimarkstudios]

Well I'm no filter company with loads of money but you've always been an inspiration for me so here is a little something to help you and Amanda buy enough insulation to keep the squirrels in the basement warm.

[@NikonDave]

I agree. I think you buy into a filter system more than a specific filter. Once you get to NISI or LEE...they are all top quality. Just...do they make the adapters/rings you need and have a wide variety of filters for whatever you are trying to achieve and do they stand behind the product they sell. Cheers!

[@mattleccese]

Top content as always Gavin. Stunning sunrise 🖤 Great video, honest and accurate, grad nds are a relic of the film days, yes there are those people who just have to do it in camera (because they can’t embrace computer processing most likely) and need to lug all that extra gear around and complain about its limitations. But lets face it, it’s not necessary, a good cpl and a heavy nd and you’re good to go 👍🏻

I appreciate the candid info. Best filter video I’ve seen

[@spidersj12]

A natural night, or astro filter for your camera, is not something that you can do in a typical RAW photo editor. Blocking certain wavelengths of light just isn't something that you can do in Adobe's products, or any other typical photography application. Using sensors that pick up certain wavelengths of light, or filters for broad spectrum imaging allow you to either block certain specific wavelengths or only allow certain narrow wavelengths through, i.e. narrow band filters. Narrow band filters are what you would use to build up an image composite for astrophotography, or more likely deep sky astrophotography, or astronomy. But for wide angle landscape astrophotography it is always better to use a natural night or astro filter to get rid of the light pollution from mercury vapour, LED and sodium based light sources, it removes that yellow and orange cast to the scene. Even in urban environments, a natural night filter can take away those wavelengths of light and give you a much nicer end result. You can't really do that properly in post production.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

I agree with you about the filters, for all the reasons you outlined. A CPL is pretty much grafted onto my lens. Thankfully, almost all my lenses are 77mm so I just need the one CPL. I do use NiSi ND filters, but rarely stronger than 6 stops. I pair the 3-stop or 6-stop with a CPL when I use an ND at all. P.S. - there are variances in color cast between brands, That's why I switched from Lee square filters (very blue) to NiSi (neutral). I understand NiSi make magnetic filters now. So, get in touch, NiSi. 😉😂

[@MrDeano41]

Great advice, I'll buy the one Gavin recommends, manufacturers... get in touch.

[@d-o-a-die]

For landscapes and other types of photos in natural settings, I always use a polarizer, especially now that it is much easier to use handheld thanks to image stabilization. For cityscape and street photos, I sometimes use 3-stop ND filter if I need more motion blur as polarizers don't work in an urban environment due to metallic surfaces. Otherwise, I just use a clear filter for protection, especially with epilepsy I don't want to have a seizure and fall onto the road or sidewalk and shake my camera back and forth on concrete or asphalt with an exposed lens. A protective filter helps me to relax and worry less about damaging my lens and concentrate on getting the photo. Both my lenses share the same filter size, and I never change filters out in the field, so a filter system would provide no financial or practical benefits, so regular screw on filters are good enough for me.

[@rogerwalton8160]

Very well explained Gavin.

[@Jimages_uk]

When I first started, I fell into the filter buying sink hole, and have quite a few, all gathering dust apart from my polarising and Lee big stoppers (10 and 15 stops)

[@mikestarkwind]

What a sunrise!!! I'd guess you are glad it is fall/winter time and you don't have to get up in the wee-hours...

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

The first 46 years of my photography I mostly shot b&w film. I still have a stack of different filters in my cabinet that I used then. Ever since I started shooting digital in 2005 I have only used CPLs for certain shots. No need for anything else for my work. I never did figure out which is the clean end of a turd to pick up for polishing so I mostly don't bother with them anymore. Still guilty of trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear for some of my shots, though. Please tell Amanda hello for me. She is a bright spot on this cold overcast day here in Tennessee. :))

[@fototripper]

She's always a bright spot :)

[@dietmarfinster3176]

the day starts with a smile. Photography with that punch of humor. great. Greetings from Schaumburg

[@Direkin]

Yeah, I use CPL a lot as well, and various grades of ND (3, 6, and 10 stop). That's the H&Y K-series filter, so the CPL is drop-in, and the NDs are magnetic. They now produce circular filters that are magnetic as well. Whichever shape you go for, magnetic filters make life so much easier, and I haven't touched my screw on filters for years.

[@rayspencer5025]

From my film days I have a butt load of correction and effect filters. Now, I shoot digital raw, so I can do a lot of PP corrections. I shoot landscapes, wildlife, macro, architectural, and some street (sans identifiable people). I currently only use Polarizers (in 3 strengths), variable ND, and regular ND filters in various strengths so I can stack them or use with a polarizer to get to the exposure setting I want. Since to the Canon R system I have been able to use drop-in filters on my bulbous super wide lenses - a good improvement.

[@gruagach1]

I could not agree more about filters spot on. I have used the same cpl a rather cheap for over 13 years with no problem, I'd buy the same again. After seeing the light (as one does) in your vid I think I'll need to re edit one of my Turnberry shots it was so red I toned it down no one would believe it was real.

Hi Gavin, i have just recently subscribed to your channel and have thoroughly enjoyed every Video i have seen. You and Amanda and your cronies are so much fun to watch and i love your photography and the places that you visit. Your little egg eating mate is such a character

[@deathstarHQ]

I completely agree Gavin, once you get to a 10 stop without the colour fringing and vignetting as they have all achieved many moons ago now..... all they can really do now is try and come up with pointless gimmicky things like little dials that turn a gear that turns the polarizer, crap like that. This reminds me of Christmas 1994 when i opened a present and it was 'The Best Rock Album in the World...EVER!!' CD... then a few months later my brother got 'The Best Rock Album in the World EVER 2!!!'.... A world full of contradiction and confusion ha ha.

You are kinda the reason I haven't bought the square filters. The other reason is that in a few locations I've seen 400+ euros of shattered filters on the ground. I 100% know my butterfingers would smash them really very quickly considering I drop my circular one pretty much every time I use them!

Many years ago I bought yellow, orange, red , blue filters. Today, I'm happy I did as I use them for my B&W photography, digital as well as film. I also use other filters to avoid pfaffing about editing photos on the computer.

[@pepenone]

When looking at it from the perspective of using certain lenses such as Sigma 14mm 1.8 or even Rokinon 2.8 the square filter and its socket are indispensable for both CLP and ND. I have to confess that I need a CPL and there I have caught my fingers with the 14mm 1.8 because the expense is unfailingly double to cover all my lenses. I have to say also that sometimes I tend to choose as a priority some compositions with so much difference in latitude (Dynamic Range) in the shot that a graduated 4stops would not be bad either despite the almost 12 steps of latitude of my D850 (flat settings at 50iso)...

[@ddki9094]

I hope you and Amanda are doing ok out there in N.S and this video comes at just the right time because I am debating on whether to invest in a magnetic filter system. I'm not a pro, just an amateur who loves taking photos as a hobby at this point but it is a hobby that I'm passionate about. You have given me something to think about so thank you.

I tried a Breakthrough Photography ND filter once. The thing that set it apart, was the way the water/rain droplets wiped off so cleanly and easily. It was pretty sexy!

[@ctzerbe1]

Good advice. I have been doing professional landscape photography for 5+ years now. I use the CPL quite a bit, and use ND's on maybe on 1% of images, if that. I did liked the "smooth water" app on my old Sony A7R ii, which allowed me to ditch the ND almost all together, and with no color cast issues, but they dropped the apps option on the newer camera additions. I store my lenses with the CPL on - that is my default mode....

[@dalepowell5368]

That was some sunrise, beautiful. I rarely used any filters, CPL is in my bag and often gets used but the NDs that I have, are not much use. One of my NDs currently resides on Rannoch Moor, I lost it 2 years ago. 😂 I don't miss it.

[@rayspencer5025]

I have a lot of filters, alot of them are in "cold storage". Filters I do use a fair bit are ... UV ( only for bad bad conditions). CPL (in various darkness levels). Doublet Close-up "filters" (higher IQ than single lens version). Traditional Close-up "Filters" (only for my action Camera). Variable ND filter (only for when I would want to use a CPL and an ND filter at the same time). ND filters Infrared Filters

[@splendidx01]

[@davidakoubian3025]

What a magical sunrise! You are spot on with a lot of what you say with filters, and if I could only carry one, it would be a CPL. My "sweet spot" for rivers and waterfalls is 2 to 8 seconds, so I often carry a ND/CPL combo filter around 4 stops (ND32). I've been carrying the Kase filters and I like them because the magnetic rings stick together and you can stack still maintaining minimum space in the bag or pocket. The only other thing I pay close attention to when purchasing filters is the type of coatings they use. I like filters with tempered glass, and coatings similar to the lens I am putting them on to as well. Making sure the back of the filter is coated as well is important when shooting into the light otherwise you get that flare too often. Thanks again for another honest and informative video.

[@srameypr]

WOW, that first shot was gorgeous! The colors were so rich! I appreciated the filter discussion. I have always kept a UV/haze filter and a polarizer on my camera, but a neutral density filter once saved a key shot for me. I had planned for weeks to be at Reflections Lakes at Mt. Rainier during a vacation. It was literally THE shot I really wanted to get during this trip. When I got there, it was the first time in weeks the mountain had not been hidden by clouds, so I couldn't believe my luck. But the morning I was at the lakes, no matter what I did, the snow on the mountain was either overexposed or the reflection in the water was too dark. I was so frustrated. But some other folks there loaned me a neutral density filter. It was awkward to use, as it was square and I had to hold it in front of my lens, but it saved the shot. It's not perfect, and some of the snow is still too hot, but it was a helluva lot better than my other shots.

I’ve been looking at filters and Kase recommend 82mm for a 67mm diameter lens. Presumably you can’t use lens goods with this configuration? Would you advocate purchasing a screw in CPL for each lens and a step up adapter and magnetic ND or just bite the bullet and get the magnetic kit?

[@JesusChrist-xb7jq]

I actually bought a 10 stop ND filter for less than $30 a few years ago, and was so impressed, that I bought a second one just in case I damaged the first. Zero color cast and excellent sharpness. It had the hilarious brand name Cacagoo. I still use it years later.

[@lattesweden]

You make fun and good videos. I have shot since 1980, both for my own amusement and for money, and I never used filters much, except UV-filters for protection that I have on all my lenses as a standard. I often shot against the light and then I just unscrew the UV-filter before and I know I have a clean front lens. That was also very convenient at an event I shot when a dog licked the front of the lens with its drooly tongue , I just screwed the UV-filter off and continue to shot until I could clean the UV-filter. As for NDs, you can just shot multiple shots if you need a longer exposure time. So if you only can hit 1 second but want 10 seconds, then do ten 1 second exposures and average them in Photoshop. Also much of the CPL effect (though maybe not all) can be achieved with Clarity and Dehaze in Lightroom as well as Dodge/Burn similar techniques (where the gradients in Lightroom works really well for that since they allow only highlight adjustments for example if that is what one wants to dampen at a particular spot). I just spent a whole one year long project where I've done a large amount of landscapes. I have carried both CPL and ND filters with me all the time and used them exactly 0 times.

[@ItsWhatIDo]

I started watching your video's a few weeks ago and so far I've really enjoyed watching them. Yes it's probably me that has been watching most of your back catalogue of video's. I'm a poor bus driver from the UK so don't have a lot of money to spend on the best gear. In fact I stopped doing much in the way of photography years ago. I used to use 35mm film. My first venture into digital was a 2mp Kodak point and shoot then moved on to a Canon 350D when they first came out. I actually did a few wedding shoots with that camera. I sort of lost interest after that and didn't bother keeping up to date with all of the gear. Last year I decided I wanted to get back into it and bought a 90D and the Sony ZV-E10. My thought was I could use the Canon for the photography and main topic video shots and the Sony would be used for B roll and back up video. I've still not really done much with either camera but I am really getting the desire to get out there again. I know mirrorless is really the way to go but I couldn't afford the cost of a good mirrorless so a good DSLR was the next best option for me. I love watching your video's and I'm so envious of your landscapes out there in Canada. I love the collaborations you've done with some of the other guys out there and have learned quite a bit about modern photography from you guys. Keep up the good work Gavin
