Any of you guys use the Cokin filter system? Any reaction? Convenience, quality? The P-System is damn cheap and seems real versatile. I'm thinking of jumping in.

I've only got UV filters on my gear. I do have a circular polarizer, a cross-hatch, and a soft focus, but I never use them. Adjustments in Lightroom or Photoshop are just so much easier and they take me less time than changing filters in the field.
I want to pick up a Singh-Ray Vari-ND filter to fit my 70-200.
I would also like a couple of resin filters like these:

A polarizing and an NGD filter is exactly what I am thinking about doing; neither can be replicated in Post processing.

So this is what you were doing instead of shooting better pics than those AWFUL Ice Girl Audition photos....

So, JUST got my camera this weekend. Big mess up on my order and didn't get the Nikon. Dealer screwed me over so went and got the Canon Xsi instead. Got three Canon lenses with it (18-55, 50mm, 75-300) and the other crap. 3 8gb cards too. Anyway, pretty excited about the whole thing. Spent yesterday and today figuring things out (trying to really). Haven't had a chance to do much, but tried out some of the HDR things and had some fun there. Here's two from a park near me. Comments are welcome. Tips too.
Obviously using the demo right now. Just getting a feel for it. I tried to keep both photos "natural" but get those odd colors and tones from the HDR side of things.
Going out tomorrow to get some use out of the 50mm and the 75-300. Got a few filters to goof around with as well. Might have some more posted tomorrow to blast.

I'm not a big fan of HDR but I like it when it's used more subtle like this. I would like to have seen a close-up of the tree on the left. Love the heavy backlighting caused by the sun. Excellent choice to use Canon!

All of these pics employ the flash with the diffuser to fill in the shadows. I went late in the afternoon to get better light than the noonday sun.
They probably wouldn't let me in with it, though.
And a fixed f/8 means I'd have to shoot ISO2000 to get anything half-way decent indoors.
Fact is, this is a bright daylight lens. That's what I bought it for.
Come to think of it, you might want to take it to Huntington Beach Pier. You can shoot the surfers from the Pier and get some excellent shots from there, near the lifeguard tower right on the pier. I'll bet you could get some cool stuiff with that lens at dawn or dusk. Id suggest dusk and shooting off the right side of the pier toward the sunset.
Might have to make a meet-up of this kind of outing. Be good to have a few brews after the fact.
