Filter thread. What kind of filters should every landscape photographer carry?
I'm looking to get 3 GNDs, a 2, 4, and 6 (I can stack to make higher), and some pure NDs, probably just a 2 or 4.
Does this seem comprehensive enough? And furthermore, are any colour filters worth getting? e.g., Tobacco?

Tobacco is the most useless filter in the world.

Dont get tobacco or any kind of shitty colour unless you work for top gear and love ruining video/photo. Also put a colour cast in photoshop if you have to.

What you listed is probably fine. I was considering getting some, how much more of a ball ache is it to multiple exposure and combine later in photoshop, presuming you use a sturdy tripod...?

DIGITAL FILTERS ARE NOT OPTICAL FILTERS
If you're going to go that route though, "expose to the right" is critical - and do the majority of your work in ACR, not photoshop

Doesn't really seem like optical filters are better, except polarizers of course

and neutral density filters? pretty much only warming/cooling filters are safe in photoshop ..
To op, I would also suggest a reverse grad neutral density as well - good if you shoot with the sun at the horizon line (sunrise/sunset) .. dont have any myself but i hope to with time

This sounds awesome. I've got 3 soft edge GND's, a 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9. I kind of wish I had something darker and at least one hard edge, too. Soft edge sounded more versatile, so I went with them to start with. I never find the need to stack them, but even if I wanted to I couldn't, because my filter holder will only hold one at a time.

Do you recommend the soft edged ones?

And do you have any idea if the regular Cokin Z filters are soft or hard gradients?
