6. It's raining hard up here, too.

The weekend is supposed to be nice, though. I hope so; I need to clean up my gardens for winter.

7. Is one using drop in filters?

[Blue_In_AK]

8. Yes, he is.

That's Carl, and he's using Lee filters. I bought some cheapo Cokins just to see how they work, but they gave kind of a pinkish cast to everything. The reviews on the Cokins warned of that, but I got the experience anyway by taking them along. I might have to get myself some good filters because I do like the effect on clouds and so on.

I know there are digital ways to get the same effect, but I kind of like old school.

9. Play with the white balance to see if you can counter that trend.
