Answer 2

I keep a vignetting filter I made myself with a piece of glass and nail polish in my camera bag. I have a gradient for overly bright skies and always have my polarizing filter.

In the days of film I had every color and type you can imagine, rainbow star burst, color flow, soft focus for portraits,etc. They were inexpensive and lots of fun. Today, what I can't do with my few filters I do on computer.
