Essential Filters for Landscape Photography
Posted by Alex Thompson • 3 hours ago
I'm diving into landscape photography and wondering what filters I should invest in first. I've heard ND and polarizing filters are important, but there are so many options and brands. What's your essential filter kit for landscapes?

Start with a good circular polarizer - it's essential for managing reflections and enhancing colors. I recommend the B+W Circular Polarizer, it's expensive but worth it for image quality.
Get a set of ND filters too. I use the NiSi V6 system with 3-stop and 6-stop filters. Great for long exposures of moving water or clouds. The square filter system is more versatile than screw-on filters.
Don't forget a graduated ND filter for balancing bright skies with darker foregrounds. The Breakthrough Photography X4 GND is excellent.
