In every video of yours I've seen, when you discuss a topic, you explain pretty much EVERYTHING related to it. The most-essential filters, what they do, how to use them, the results you'll get, etc. You really are a great instructor. Antone who can make it to Brisbon should definitely take your course. Even professionals would benefit, if only for a refresher - which we all need now and then. Back in the film days, I had a TON of filters from a popular brand at the time that slid into a holder (which is a very convenient way to do it). Back then, filters were even more necessary, as the cameras didn't have all the features that digital cameras have, and Photoshop wasn't even a dream, then. Remember red and yellow filters for B&W photography? White balance-correcting filters, soft-focus, vignette, etc.? It's mostly all done in-camera or post-processing. But the three filters you mentioned today are still needed to get the best results. And, they're the three filters I carry in my filter case. Thanks for another outstanding video, Paul.
You are spot on, I also carried a bunch of filters with me that today can be emulated using Photoshop, but these three are essential even in the digital age of photography and image making. Thanks for your continued support and great feedback which is most appreciated. Paul 😀
Thanks Paul! I know I've watched this video before, but as I expand my range and gear, it has new meanings for me. While I have a mix of ND for my 2 existing lenses for my D3500 (35mm 1.8 & 28-300) I am adding a lens and your idea of buying to fit your largest lens and being able to mount to small diameter lenses REALLY makes sense.
I have just discovered your channel and couldn't be more pleased. I had been scrolling through videos looking for information to help me learn more about my camera, and not always understanding the explanations. Well, that is until I discovered Photo Genius; your videos do all of that and more. I've watched several already and am looking forward to getting out tonight for the sunset to try some of them out. Another bonus of your channel is getting to see glimpses of Brisbane, as it reminds me of our happy times living there. Thanks for the great explanations and demonstrations to make using my camera a more enjoyable process.
Excellent explanation off how and why you should use filters for landscape photography. Tks again Paul for sharing your extensive knowledge off photography to make us amateur's better able to take great pictures.
Gidday Paul , another excellent tutorial , got some great stuff from this one , and cheers for the tips at the end as well , keep up the great work , best regards from NZ
Paul thanks for your video. I have been looking at filter systems in particular the NISI filters. As you mentioned I happen to have several sizes of lens to adapt to so the “step up/down” only makes sense. Thanks again.
@@brucesmith9144 yep I bought step up rings to cover all my different sized lenses too. This is an great system…I had one similar; years ago for my other SLR cameras but they have since gone out of business so I purchased the NISI system.
@@Jimgoodwin846 Indeed it is. I use the NiSi filter holder but use Benro filters. That has worked well so far. Like the Benro because they are glass and won’t scratch like plastic filters and there appears to be no color shift.
Very nice presentation. The NiSi system is nice. One filter I’ve found valuable is a reverse graduated filter. Very nice when capturing sunrise/sunset at the horizon.
Thanks for sharing.... great comments & instruction...I have filters for my lenses but have difficulties deciding which to use when out in the field...I think I just need more practice with different compositions & results... cheers 😀
Thank Paul , great tutorial as always very informative, I have purchased Hoya filters as could not afford to go higher at the moment, but I get good results with them, look forward to your next tutorial 👍
It really depends on what you wish to capture within the scene, wide angle for "the big picture" or telephoto if yo wish to pick out a particular part of a scene.
Hi Your videos are awesome. I am just starting out and learning about photography. I only have a basic camera EOS 3000D. What Nisi filter kit should I get? is there one that will fit multiple Canon camera's
In the section on using multiple filters, I see you have some tethered to the top of your camera. Can I ask what it is? I looks like maybe a second screen
How to take a landscape photograph tho? I mean like how to compose one, what are the good compositions tips for it, how to pick a subject (i.e. tips on what are interesting to photograph and what to skip).
rather than using the app to calculate the required shutter speed, why not adjust the shutter speed until the meter shows exposure is correctly balanced? Nice review, thanks
Hi Patrick, the meter does not work when using the bulb mode. This is because the camera cannot calculate the exposure because it does not know how long the shutter will be open for.
Nothing more frustrating than coming to watch the sun near sunset with clouds across but my camera can not focus that scene. Any tips and what lens could be used to do that.

Paul thanks for your video. I have been looking at filter systems in particular the NISI filters. As you mentioned I happen to have several sizes of lens to adapt to so the “step up/down” only makes sense. Thanks again.
I have the NiSi filter holder and the kit came with step-up rings to adapt to a range of lens filter sizes from 58-82 mm.

What lenses are good for landscaping photography?
It really depends on what you wish to capture within the scene, wide angle for "the big picture" or telephoto if yo wish to pick out a particular part of a scene.
@@photogenius big picture of water , what about the filter i can use with slow shutter speed?
I bought a filter that I was told would work for my camera but turned out being too big. 🙄 Step down adapters sound just like what I need
Most camera stores should stock them, thanks for watching Adam.
Hi Your videos are awesome. I am just starting out and learning about photography. I only have a basic camera EOS 3000D. What Nisi filter kit should I get? is there one that will fit multiple Canon camera's
Hellow! Could you explain very simple how to take longe expouser photography in canon 5d mark 4. Thanks
In the section on using multiple filters, I see you have some tethered to the top of your camera. Can I ask what it is? I looks like maybe a second screen
There is an X effect in picture by circular filters
How to take a landscape photograph tho?
I mean like how to compose one, what are the good compositions tips for it, how to pick a subject (i.e. tips on what are interesting to photograph and what to skip).
good suggestions - I might have to make an other video about composing landscape images in the future.
Just what I needed thank you Paul. Would a circular polariser be ok with an 18mm lens please?
It will work but be careful as you may get uneven polarisation and "banding" in the sky.
@@photogenius Thanks Paul.
rather than using the app to calculate the required shutter speed, why not adjust the shutter speed until the meter shows exposure is correctly balanced? Nice review, thanks
Hi Patrick, the meter does not work when using the bulb mode. This is because the camera cannot calculate the exposure because it does not know how long the shutter will be open for.
@@photogenius aha! Thank you

Ah, do you have affiliate links or just links for Nisi products? 😮
