i usually stay away from filters. some of the colors are off on the fisheye shots because i was long lens'ing all day and couldnt keep an eye on how the fisheye looked throughout the day. either way, keep the feedback coming on here and youtube, we're doing all this stuff for you guys, so your input is what we need! more vids coming soon.

we'll be at carlisle next weekend, if you see me (not hard to miss) hit me up!

No problem, always try and help fellow film/video makers out. I wouldn't stay away from filters not only does the UV help the internals of your camera, but a polarizer will help even out your sky exposure to your subject exposure in heavy bright lighting.


Example, this image on the left is no filter and image on the right has a polarizer, the church is brighter and the sky is a bit darker the colors end up being more vibrant and overall picture is less washed out.
