I am just a beginner and am wondering what filters are worthwhile. Specifically, when taking mountain landscapes I have found them to be hazy, does a uv filter really make that much of a difference. Also wondering if a polarizing filter is worthwhile to purchase for lakes, rivers... Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Also, since I'm asking I have been told to shoot in RAW but when I ask why they say just do it, it's better. I do not play with my photos except to correct the exposure every now and then. Without getting too technical can anyone tell me why RAW is the way to go???
Thanks much
