Hi guys,
I've been taking photos for some years now but I've never really taken it too 'seriously'; i.e. I've never worried about spending time setting up a shot, striving for the perfect composition, etc. I'm not exactly point 'n' click but I've never particularly taken a measured approach in my photography. However, I feel it's about time I tried something different and I was looking at filter options. Something that would allow me to try some long exposure shots, that sort of thing. I live in a beautiful part of the world and it offers some truly stunning views; views that would be nice to capture.
I'm still using my trusty (old) Canon 40D with only three lenses; nifty-fifty, standard kit item and a 70-300mm that I use for motorsport. They aren't a patch on the professional L-glass but they do the job for now. Anyways, filters... I really haven't got a clue what I should be looking for. My local camera shop (as I discovered this morning) is no longer there; it's now a Greggs! Is there a 'starter' kit that you would recommend for a Canon user? A specific set / make of filters? Densities? Would I be better off getting another general-purpose lens first?
Thanks for your time
