The ND's mostly for waterfalls when it's still too light out, and the polarizer mostly for rock art and sometimes to help with reflections.
No one use a UV filter? I read about people using them to protect their camera lens so I bought and use one.
How does the Polarizer help with Rock Art? Do you get sharper images in bad lighting ir when the Rock Art is a bit faded?
The polarizer helps squeeze a little bit more contrast between the art and the rock it's on. It's also a very noticeable improvement if the rock art is in direct sunlight. I also just prefer the look of my rock art photos taken with a polarizer.

I also use a Circular Polarizer most of the time and when needed I have a .6 ND filter for water shots.

I have had 5 or 6 accidents over the years where my UV filter saved my lens, twice w/broken filter glass, with no damage to the front element. I was lucky I guess.
A lens hood will not protect the glass well enough. Just my experience.
