Hello all,
I have been studiously avoiding using filters thus far, but I'm starting to get annoyed with burning in skies so much in photoshop...I think I could get some more interesting results without so much work if I understood filters a bit better.
I'm also considering getting a 6x17 back at some point. I read somewhere here where Christopher Broadbent was talking about the importance of using graduated filters for doing panos...so that's been on my mind.
So I'm wondering what the general recomendation would be? I just got some nice lenses, neither of which have the same filter size. I'll probably have another two lenses soon. I guess that all points to something like the Lee system. I do most of my photography out of a backpack, walking around the city (at least right now), so something that's the minimum of fuss would also be nice. So I'm torn between getting some screw on filters and wanting more flexibility.
Any thoughts/resources/admonishments?
Here's an example that I think would have been better with a yellow filter.

This one, I'm not sure...is there something that would take down a hazy sky?
