Filters for landscapers

I once wrote...

But standard fayre for landscapers would be (and I've just done the same thing on TP Laughing)

ND4
ND8
ND4 hard grad
ND8 hard grad

The nd4 and nd8 you can leave for now as you can replicate those effects by letting the sky get darker Laughing. The grads are essential though - they help get your skies darker while keeping your ground the same brightness - gets your exposure nicely balanced.

Get those in square format and you'll still be able to use them when your lenses get bigger. You basically need a holder (Cokin P type is the most common) and an adaptor for the same mm as your thread size.

Look on http://www.premierink.co.uk. They do a starter pack for around £45 which has some grads and a holder set. Thumbs Up
