I was wondering if I need any special filters to shoot a sunset to keep from damaging any internals in my 30D. I have some great places to shoot, just wanted to get anything that I needed before I go and ruin my camera, haha. Thanks.

) then get hold of ND grads or take two shots - the sunset first and then meter off the foregound and shoot that (don't worry if the sun moves in that time - but better to meter off both and write down or remember the settings you need). You can then hopefully combine the two later. Make sure also, that you have a tripod handy
