Are you using protection??

Some people in class have asked if I use filters on my camera...I've shared that I personally do not which of course doesn't mean it is right or wrong just my personal preference.

I found a pretty good article with some interesting comments about this very topic and and thought I would share for those of you interested.

Enjoy!
