Got a burning question?

Warehouse Express is a good place to look for photographic stuff. Expect to pay more than £5 for a decent filter. If you buy a poor one it reduces the quality of your pictures and may leave a colour cast. Brands like Kood and HiTech are generally well thought of. And there's always Lee if you really want to splash the cash.

Hi Neil, if your going to do a lot of this kind of photography don't buy rubbish or you will not be happy with the results, if your just experimenting and will be happy with so so results then go for the buget end.

I have the Lee system that fits to the front of the lens and you slide square filters into the housing, its a very flexible system but more expensive than one that you simply screw to the lens front

I have had great service from Warehouse Express and the prices are reasonable compared to to other suppliers

do a search for filters in the techniques section, I found this one but have not looked at it, it does say " everything you need to know about filters"

cheers for all that bob!

at the moment i just want to experiment, i appreciate if i buy cheap i WILL buy twice but im thinking it will be nice to have a play at the mo and then get the sort of set up you have, makes more sense to slide them in and out rather than keep unscrewing them!

thanks again for all the help!

I have never had a set of rectangular filters Cokin/Lee. how does the circular polarizing filter work presumably you cant rotate it or it would fall out

You get a polariser which is circular but has a edge which fits into the grooves in the holder. The Cokin one has toothed edges so you can move it round but it won't easily slip back.

Hi Guys
Hoping I get a reply... Was wondering what size CF card the Canon EOS 40D can take will it go upto a 16g card or is 8 the biggest it can take...

Just a quick note... I have had problems with use of continuous shot usage on a larger size memory card, whereby I have had a card "Overheat", because I was taking 30 to 40 shots in as-fast-as-the-camera-could-take-them way.....

It only happens in hot climates and when the camera is being pushed to the limit....

I would therefore suggest that a number of smaller cards are useful, in that, you can swap them out to allow cooling if your using them and filling them fast...

Also, if one card fails for any reason, having more-than-one, you can put in another card and carry on.....
