The most complete and essential guide to lens filters! How to use graduated filters, ND filters, polarizers, UV filters, and magenta filters in detail. Both beginners and advanced landscape photographers could learn something from this tutorial.

The video also covers which filters can be replicated in post-processing, and which cannot. For some reason, it's become popular in recent years to argue that filters are no longer very important for photography, and that most of them can be replicated in post-processing instead. But this is very misleading. In reality, lens filters are still one of the most useful pieces of gear in a landscape photographer's camera bag, and they aren't going away any time soon.
