Should You Buy Filters? Landscape Photography Filters Explained and Q&A

Episode 2:  Welcome to our first Tidbit Tuesday episode, where I give you practical photography tips or outdoor advice and answer your submitted questions.  Today, we talk about filters used in outdoor photography, which also relates to two of our listener questions. 

I explain the four different types of filters commonly used in outdoor photography, the three that I think are the ones worth having, how and when to use them, what to look for when choosing a filter, and some recommendations.  So if you are considering whether or not to add filters to your photography kit, or whether it’s time to upgrade what you have, this episode is for you.  

I then answer three listener questions.
