I'm a noob with these camera filters such as UV, polarizing and what ever else is out there. I'm more of night shooting photographer. Landscapes and what not. I'm wondering whats a good camera filter for nightshooting?

if you mainly shoot at night, then really you don't need anything. uv for protection if that tickles your fancy.
a circular polarizer is a must have imo but since you say you shoot mainly at night, it'd be essentially useless to you and they're quite expensive. however if you shoot landscapes in bright daylight, a cpl is great to have. ND grad filters are also useful for bright landscapes, but i'd pick up a cpl before a ND.
in case you're interested, try maxsaver.net. very well known accessories place who sell legitimate filters at crazy good prices.

For night shooting, don't use any filters at all. Any piece of glass you put in front of your lens will increase the chances of flaring and ghosting.
