Getting a camera

[jknight8907]

jknight8907, the neutral density filter you found is not graduated. You want a graduated filter for landscapes. It will reduce the light coming through the lens on only the top half of the scene, and the effect gradually fades to transparent at the bottom. It really helps you get a good exposure of a bright sky and a darker foreground.

You want something like this: http://www.adorama.com/BW58GND.html

I wouldn't go for canon's kit lens... I don't like it ... can't tell you why but I prefer sigma

Okay. I just ordered my camera!!! (deep breaths....control the pulse rate...)

I got the Rebel XT with a Sigma 18-125mm and a Canon 50mm f/1.8, also a Cokin P kit with a polarizing filter (I'll add some more later on), and a 1GB 80x CF card.

Heheheh...I cant wait to use it!!s
