Photo Tip ~ 3 Filters You Don’t Need

Photo Tip ~ 3 Filters You Don’t Need Photo Tip ~ 3 Filters You Don’t Need I’m asked often, “what filters should I use?” Not trying to be a wise guy, I have to answer that question with a question. What are you shooting and what do you want the filter to do? Many times...

BRILLIANT! Finally someone who tells it like it is… And hates sticky plastic sofa covers!

Thanks for backing me up!

Kent Weakley

LOL, glad you approve. Now for the UV filter lovers to comment. LOL

Kim Young

Way to go Kent! I have “discussions” with other photography enthusiasts about UV filters all of the time. Get insurance and a lens hood.
I do laugh when I see color filters being used, but there are so many anti-photoshop people. Just use film! Enough ranting. Great post.

Kent Weakley

Thanks Kim!

Look what I find out when I can’t sleep and visit Twitter for the first time in weeks! I’m so glad Darcy is passing this on to you. She chose capable hands.

Melanie

Hello Kent! Lovely to meet you, I’m a huge fan!

Molly

Hi…

Are we meant to be using the new badge or Darcy’s badge… if it is meant to be the new badge then I don’t know what you have done but when I try to save it, it saves as a 1×1 image… do you have copy protection turned on by any chance if so then maybe you need to generate some code for the badge?

Mollyxxx

Kent Weakley

Hi Molly,
Yes, if you can start using the new badge’s that would be helpful. I’m not sure what’s happening for you. Go to this page and copy the html code in the box and paste that on your page or in a widget text box for your sidebar and you’ll be set >>> http://kentweakley.com/blog/sweet-shot-tuesday-faq/#SSTbuttons

I thought I was going to struggle with this, but I absolutely LOVED it!

Bluelily

Inspiration and fun!

Gina

I loved this week because it pushed me out of my comfort zone & I accomplished something I had been working on for a while.

notes from the tiny naping house

I am looking forward to getting to know you.

Donna

Thank you for taking Project 52 over. I am looking forward to getting to know you

Kent Weakley

Thanks Donna, I looking forward to meeting everyone as well. It’s a blast hosting all these great photos!:)

Hi Kent! Thanks so much for taking over the hosting of the P52 from Darcy. Looking forward to stopping by and exploring your blog more! – Melody

Stu Cripps

Really loving stuff like this, makes me thing beyond the camera and it’s abilities. My submission for this was an iphone 4 snap.

Karen

Hi Kent! I read stuff here pretty often and I’m excited about you hosting the P52. One thing: you know how you made the suggestion up there about playing with light? Could you give suggestions for the week’s theme early in the week so we can have a few days to try them out? That would be awesome!

Kent Weakley

OK, Karen I will try. Thanks for the input.

Media Goddess

Thanks for taking over! I have enjoyed poking around your blog site. I think in the first couple of months of p52 a few favorite pictures were picked and a featured button was given out. Will you be starting that up again? Again thanks for hosting,

Kristy Life-n-Reflection

still life is one my faves to shoot. I love play with natural lighting.

Kent Weakley

Hm??? Sounds like a good idea. I look into it. Thanks!
