Hey all,
I'm planning a trip out west that will take place in a few weeks. I lost my old filter bag that had a SR LB Color Combo in it. I always enjoyed this filter but I'm wondering if I really need it for this trip out west. I'll be shooting a lot of the classic scenes around Page Az and I wonder if the warming and intensifying effect would be too much on that navajo sandstone? I'm upgrading to a Cokin Z holder so this filter would be 550 dollars. I really need to consider the importance of this as a result of the VERY high price.
Thanks

I don't think that you'll need to warming/intensifying effects in the Southwest. This region is already very colorful, mostly red/orange/brown and you could always bump vibrance or saturation a bit in post-processing if you feel that colors are lacking. The $550 could be invested in something else…

Just found a very old photo from Page/AZ. I've attached the Lightroom settings. No saturation or vibrance added and no filter used.

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately I can't see the photo.

I can see the photo now, the color looks very nice.

Under the right light, there not need of filters. I have many SR filters but in Page never used them although on some occasions, a polarizer could find some very limited use.
