Would a polarizingfilterbe appropriate here as it should cut the light by a stop or so? Perhaps a standard neutral density filter would work too if you don't like thecolor variationsfrom a polarizer. I've read aboutpeople stacking filters,butas I moved to Seattle 5years ago I do not know of this super bright light in the sky that they speak of and can't imagine a situation where you'd have to do that.


Daniel has a very interesting suggestion though about adjusting the tone curves down.I'm a beginner as wellwith no practicalportfolio built up yet(what's above is just from what I've gathered by reading various articles etc.) but filters don't seem too harmful to me and the above seems like a good use for them.
