any cool filters I should use/play with? I only have your typical UV filters for my 18-52mm and 30-700mm for protection and a 6 cross filter for some bling effect.

I've heard good things about polarizing filters especially when taking out door shots/cars.

Circular polarizing filter works wonders in the right hands. I use them on most my cameras, even if I had to hand make them....

Leo, a circular polarizer will reduce glare on glass and water, as well as enhance greens and blues. If you shoot black and white, there are a toon of different colored filters you can get to enhance certain colors (sounds weird for b&w but trust me)

earlyapex- how do you do the vignetting in photoshop? I'm a photoshop n00b and can't figure it out

not ballin, just a 328i with nice options. and that's after hard saving, good money management, and not spend my money like crazy. I am not ballin like other folks here. many spend more money on mods than my car

btw, you'll never see me drive this baby into SF. not any time soon anyway...
