Hi, I'm going on holiday to the lake district and possibly Cornwall this year, and the opportunity to some great landscape/seascape shots is very likely, I have a great tripod which I will be taking, and I've decided I will try and buy the new version II Tokina 11-16mm lens to go on my 60D, from what reviews I've read it's great and not too expensive for me.
However, I'm still stuck as to what filters I should buy, I mainly need help deciding on graduated NDs. I definitely want to buy a 10 stop filter, as I love long exposure shots especially of waterfalls (so perfect in the lake district), up to now I've had almost no chance to have a go at it and no chance using my tripod. Along with this I think I'll try and by a Light Craft Workshop adjustable ND, then maybe a slightly cheaper circular polariser although I'm not sure how useful it would be. Lastly I would love some graduated NDs, but I can't decided on whether to buy a set of 3 (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9) in soft or hard edge, or to buy a couple separately in 0.6 with one hard and one soft edge for different situations. I hope you can offer me your expert opinions!
Thanks, James
