Re: Markeb01 Build Thread

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Very cool photo, and thanks for the tips. Long ago I used either a Polarized or UV filter on my film old Nikon film camera, but that stuff is long gone. It's time to pick up a filter or two that fit the Nikon digital I'm using now. As you mentioned, for car photos I usually try to shoot on cloudy days, in the early morning or during the magic hour at sunset, but nature doesn't allow for much spontaneity. A small investment would produce much better results.

Fyi I just ordered a Nikon UV and circular Polarizing filter. I can't believe I failed to order these when I got the camera several years ago. The filters were what made my old Nikon film camera work so well, and the UV filter is such great protection for the lens.

Thanks again for the tip. Now I can't wait for them to arrive so I can go back and try a few more shots under similar conditions.
