    Filters you would not leave home without? => Giving life to the image.

    Beyond the gold and blue polarizer, the ND grads and the standard polarizer, which s do you rely on to make the best of the situation?

    none.

    But I do have a yellow filter -- nice for in the Fall under the redwoods to pick up the luminosity of the yellow leaves, and occasionally to darken the sky a little -- I prefer very light skies for most images. Used for perhaps 1 image out of 50.

    For color, a regular polarizer and an 81B for warming, especially on skin.

    For B&W, the Polarizer plus a yellow and red, often used with the polarizer for very saturated sky tones and cloud separation. Rarely a green.

    ND for both, but rarely used.

    I only shoot b&w in LF. I carry red #25 & #29, orange, yellow-green, green, blue. I bought a set of three ND filters to slow exposures down for my Petzval and Imagon lenses. With my Nikon DSLR, I am a polarizer addict for daytime shots. I do not own a b/y polarizer, do sometimes use an ND grad (Hitech P)
