A circular polariser and a couple of ND grads if you have them.
Star burst for night time twinkles etc.
A clear or UV for when the party warms up and food & drink go air born.
Best regards

You don't need the starburst filter now - I think the K-r can do this with the in-camera image editing? I know the K-m can.

Yep, you can fiddle with the in-camera filters and keep the original RAW file too.

I've had similar thoughts of late while looking at my DA* 50-135mm. Obviously with a lens this good you don't want to buy cheap £5 Hong Kong special filters, so I've been thinking about what I really want so I can save for a decent one. So far I've come up with a polarizer, and can't think of anything else. It'll double as a mild ND and lens protector, and by turning the filter you can bring the reflections back should you want them. I don't tend to shoot landscapes with this lens so I don't need heavy duty NDs, and most other effects can be done digitally now.
