Other than the protective filter, you are better off shooting raw (not .jpeg) and then using Photoshop with layers so you can undo.

Professionally speaking, I find the filters on snapchat work best

I need this small list on my filters kit, because I keep forgetting what they do
technitium
There should be an app where it renders your pics into professional looking photos

Photoshop Express App is phenomenal.

I am not a photographer by any means but I favorited this.

like most people I guess, me included

Reverse Graduated GND's are also invaluable when it comes to using some 120 cameras, for example the Mamiya 7. The lense under some >

conditions can vignette.. Not in all conditions. But i remember my photo technician used it and when he developed the roll... Vignetting...

So where do I find these filters on my mobile phone?

Oh and I have Nokia 3210

As a photographer, almost none of this is useful anymore. It takes longer to screw in a filter than to post process it. The only filter(1/2)

Come on, any decent photog uses neutral density filters. I have serious doubts about your level of experience if you only use a CPL.
Mtumbe
Depending on the DR of your camera, ND filters are definitely useful for landscapes and for long exposures.
GeniusGT
Well sure if all you do it take instagram photos...

After working with photographers across the country on digital workflow and printing..You all think you know everything...

Thank god you didn't put "professional" before the photographer part. Most of those filters are still very usefull.
tillmanlightdrawing
Agrees. Unless you're an automotive photographer who uses polarizers and nd filters, there's no real reason. Gradated are nice too if(1/2)
tillmanlightdrawing
You're shooting landscapes
ZombieEinstein
I'll somewhat agree with you about color and B&W filters, but you're wrong if you think neutral density filters aren't worth the time.
ZombieEinstein
*only somewhat agreeing on color and B&W on the grounds of economics. Unless you're dedicated to B&W shots, they aren't worth the investment
JulyCastle
Or add dynamic range with a low contrast filter
MrWalker78
I don't get people when they slab a cheap filter on to to protect the front element on a 2000€ pro lens that is built to last.
suomynona107
Maybe as a sacrificial?
MrWalker78
The lens hood works just fine for that.
scabab
hahahahhahahaa! ND filter? To optimise ISO to sensor? Close up/diopter?? Diffusion??? Lowcons??? IR cut??? UV??? Did you start last week?
Tirillan
Why you gotta be so rude?
scabab
cos the guy i was responding to sounded so sure of himself. i provided more detailed advice in another comment.
dbqp
Good luck doing a long exposure in daylight without a filter
tillmanlightdrawing
I do it all the time. It's quite simple actually. Of course it's not a single exposure, but there are definitely ways around doing
tillmanlightdrawing
Long exposures without nd filters.
dbqp
For me it seems too much trouble to just avoid 10 seconds spent on screwing a filter
dpfox86
you couldn't produce the exact same effect in post is possibly the polarizing filter, which can reduce or eliminate specular highlights.
GrateFan
As a photographer myself, 100% agree. My whole life changed when I used a polarising one, reflections no more!
HadMeSomeChickens
Uhhh, and the protective filter.
scabab
seriously dude learn to use filters, you either find out now or you find out in 10 years and wish it didnt take you so long
GifMagister
I know no one who uses them. Why do you?
scabab
because at my level almost everyone uses them.
GifMagister
What level is that? NatGeo photographer?
LateNightBunnyParty
Ditto this. A good photographer gets it right the first time so (s)he doesn't have to do much Photoshopping (if any at all).
