Just recently got the filters I ordered. This is the first step to completing my new project. Check allaboutfilters.wordpress.com for details.
Photos were taken using a combination of circular close-up +10 and polarizing filters. One thing I discovered during this shoot was that photo tweaking is useless when you know how to use photographic filters. Practice is a must. It is vital that most digital photographers must not purely rely on Photoshop. Life has been easier with the birth of technology but this is not a reason for us to be dependent on what it could do to make things bearable. It is a challenge but a fun one. That is for sure. This practice shoot is something you could start doing at home. If you want to add new photos in your portfolio, set a date and choose a good location. A good location will definitely make your photos stand out.
