Filter advice...

[bongo]

I'm after a bit of advice as to where to start on the filter front. After doing some research into the different types available there seems to be alot!

On the photography level i'm a beginner who takes mainly landscape shots and I am constantly frustrated by the lack of blue reproduced in the sky or that it tends to look a bit blown.

Am I best off starting with a Polariser or would a ND filter be more beneficial? Any advice welcome also as to any good affordable brands and any other ways to improve my shots!

Bongo, I'm in the same position.

I guess the best way to find out is to buy a set and experiment.

Maybe someone could suggest a good set to start out with?

You questions asnwers itself really: Lack of blue = Polariser filter. Circular hoya will do the trick.
As for your landscapes, next step is a ste of ND Grad Filters (Hi-Tec) and a COKIN holder.

Don't mean to steal the thread, but I'm also after a set of ND grad filters. Where is a good place to buy them online? I can't seem to find much! Thanks.

Loads of places on-line really. I used these http://www.teamworkphoto.com/ for my Hi-Tec's and then http://www.karlu.com/index.php?cPath=41_550 when I recently upgraded to Lee's. Both fantastic service and help. Karlu were superb.
