re filters

Thanks Humayan.

I can see how some HDR is useful,eg tree in park in middle of day,and someone wanting the sky to look as they see it,and combining 2 or 3 images.

I did see some images,that were way over the top!,and yes-garish is the word.To me they had become digital pictures,-really heading away from photography (IMO).There certainly is a 'grey' area,as to what is a photograph.

I did read a hear,some of these HDR images have been really slammed lately too.

With regard to the Cokin Filters,this would be they way I would like to head,like yourself,I try to do as much as possible 'in camera'.

When you hold the filters-how far do you hold the away from lens?Do you take a image,have a look,then think-hmmm hold it further away,take another image,hold it a bit higher or lower as you see fit?

Certainly save same dollars on those bracket bits,if one can use the filters to the same,or better effect.

Thanks again,Humayan.
