The use of filters in photography has always been a sensitive subject in regards to creating images that don't "look real". Comments such as "It's not what you're really seeing" or, "you're doctoring the image" have surfaced and resurfaced over the years. The number of filters on the market today is mind boggling. You have general filters, creative filters, colored filters and even special effects filters. In one brochure alone I counted sixty-nine different filters! Add up these numbers, and the cost can be staggering. Some photographers make heavy use of filters, while others use them quite sparingly. It's a matter of style and preference.
Well, all you nature photographers can just relax and take your hands off your wallets. In this article I'll introduce you to a handful of essential filters for nature photographers. They work equally well if you're shooting film or digital.
