You might as well toss in a polarizer filter, also. I read that tip on some forum somewhere for use with color...esp slide film. The leaves reflect the light from above, which tends to be bluer than the surrounding light -- so by reducing the reflections from the leaves, one gets rid of the blue cast they can have. Of course, adding a couple stops or more to one's exposure under a forest canopy is not always a desirable thing!

Have fun and good luck with the dentist!
