For a $170 I picked up a Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III.
For someone like me (beginner) who doesn't have allot to spend for one it's okay for the minute. Now for a filter. Can anyone recommend one for shots like these? Thanks!

Lens filter or photoshop filter? Images looks good to me.

all depends on what you are shooting and where, Lighting, Surroundings etc.. a good Circular P is a start.

For shots like those, I wouldn't use a filter. Since the lens is a bit long for landscape shots, I wouldn't recommend a polarizer for it.
The only filter I might recommend are Neutral Density (ND) filters. They help quite a bit in really bright light, allowing you to open your aperture wider.

| Thanks for your help guys! I think a few different filters would be good to play around with. The Neutral Density filters sound like what I need. Sometimes my pictures get washed out from the sun. Boy dose that get frustrating.. |

Yeah, ND filters are what ya need. Just think of it as putting sunglasses on your lens. They come in different intensities and can be stacked for a stronger intensity.
For filters to "play" with the possibilities are endless, but many of them can be done in photoshop. I used to like star effect filters when I first got into 35mm photography. I think I've grown out of that though :-)

Although sunglasses are more often than not polarised, which = polarising filter, if that is the look you are going for. |
