My wife bought me some filters for Christmas - and while I have a basic
understanding of their use, I could use some extra insight.

Could someone point me towards an online resource for how to better use a
Polarizer, -3 stop and portrait softener?

Thanks!

Got to love a fire fighter, paramedic and airplane pilot who's tag line
is "life's too short to drive LITE beer!" Hopefully you're not
drinking ANY beer when you are paramedicing, firefighting, or piloting.
But photographing is quite all right. :)

Both Hoya and B+W have online filter catalogs, with all sorts of
information. I don't know their URLs but you could surely find them quickly
with a Google search.

There is also an online retailer that has a lot of informative information
at:
