Title: Using Grd Ntrl Density Filters
Post by: MDaniels80 on January 30, 2008, 07:19:59 pm

Hi,  
New to the forum so just want to start out by saying hello.  Hope to learn a lot and meet some great people on this site.
Anyways,  I am beginning to use graduated neutral density filters (I have a2soft and 3 hard) and just wanted to show some photos using these for c&c.  I find that I use the 3 more ofter in sunrise and sets, usually about 1/2 hr before either, and find that I really like the results.  I've also used the 2 stop but I admit, it find it harder to see when it begins.. but after sometime and use it is getting easier.  Anyway, here are some photos, unfortunately it seems I can only post links.
Advice is greatly appreciated:
