I use filters all of the time; ND, ND-grads and polars especially.

You can't do everything in post and much of what you can is better achieved in-camera.

These are a complete waste of time for helicopter shooting with a DSLR - really good for Steadicam type shots if you don't need sound, but on a helicopter they are nothing more than ballast. I find...

PAL, NTSC, SECAM etc are standard definition analogue TV formats. HD is HD and it's digital. Your client will be fine - assuming he has the right cables.

Hey Chuck,
