My New Night Shots - 10-20mm Sigma lens......C&C please

I was thinking of using the FWL filter for the 1st shot to kill the fluorescent tones. Also, thanks again for the critiques - I really have to work on composition and WB control. I just started a month ago and there really is SO much to absorb. The best I've found though is to just go out and shoot - everyday :)

I would use a grey card to set custom WB right there.
 
sometimes it makes a difference in the photograph

Agreed. Using a filter when none is necessary will lower the image quality (one more piece of glass the light must pass through) as well as increase the chances of flare, dust, fingerprint smudges etc. appearing in the final image.

The UV filter makes no difference in the shot on a digital camera. The ONLY real purpose is for lens protection.

Filters with night shots can cause unwanted reflections in the image. Light points can pass through the filter, bounce off the front of the lens then bounce off the back of the filter into the sensor. Makes duplicate or ghost light sources offset in the image.
