Greetings....I'm looking for recommendations on what type of filter to get for bright beach and ocean shots (reefs, etc.)

Also, for general sunny days (landscape shots)...what is recommended for that?

Thank you!!

    Polar Pro filters work well , The basic set has 3 filters and This is what I own.  They really help with Bright Sun  and you can reduce the Shutter speed to reduce  the dreaded Jello effect .  Around 50 -  70 dollars
Remember to stay away from 'Auto" settings if you really want the best Images, and each  minute of each day there will be changes in outdoor conditions  , it is really art and science to get the best  shots.  Any-how Polar Pro is the way to go !

Have fun - donnie

Assuming you mean for video, I'd suggest starting with an ND16 to reduce reduce shutter speed for 24 or 30 fps, or maybe ND8 if shooting 48 or 60 fps.  For stills, you're better off with no filters if you can avoid them.
