Well as I had posted in a different thread last weekend I made the purchase of a Nikon D50, a Sigma 18-50mm lens, and a Tamron 70 - 300mm lens w/ macro.

This friday starts my trip to the badlands of South Dakota. I am hoping to capture some great shots out there. My question to the people here that are experienced in that kind of shot taking is what do I need to get "the good shot" ? What filters are recommended ? I am looking at shots all times of the day. Some night shots. Sunrise / sunset . Hopefully some wildlife, obviously mt. rushmoore, crazy horse, and other sights around the area.

Any input on this subject would be great. I will be visiting my local shop again for the "needed" accessories.

Also if anyone has been there and there is something out of the norm that is great to see please let me know. we are out there for a week.

Thanks
Ben
