What filter

[thepharcyde]

Maybe a noob question, but what size filter can I use for the standard kit that comes with the Nikon D60?

I would like to take watershots, improve cloud definition etc so I would need a ND Filter right?

Have a look at the inside of your lenscap and it will tell you what size your filter thread is.

Cokin P series filters are a reasonably priced good place to start with creative filters and there are plenty to be found on ebay.

You need a filter holder and an adapter disc to attach it to your lens and then some filters to go in the holder. Neutral Density, Graduated Neutral Density and Circular Polarising filters are useful first purchases.

I've always been one to have seperate filters for each lens. All my filters are of the Hoya Pro 1 DMC range; UV(0) and CPL filters.

Will this not screw on the end of my D60 what adapter would I need to buy if not? Its 52mm

That's a UV filter, not ND. You can get ND filters that screw into the lens thread and, for non-graduated filters, I'd personally prefer that. Have a look here.
