Grad ND4, especially if you're using digital. Check out the september 2006 issue of Practical Photography for the reason why.
Hi everyone! Since we are on the topic of gray filters and this is a newbies corner, may I know if this type of filter will help me take good shots of sunsets/sunrise?
Thanks v. much for your kind advice.
for many more stop, try stacking filter, I tried and it works. Not sure how much it affected the image quality though :sweat: .get a reverse sharp edge grad ND, 2 or 3 stops. in fact i wonder if commercially they have 4-5 stops, if there are, i may buy more. very useful in landscape, travel/building. in your case, sunset (over the sea). if over the mountains, not so useful and got to use soft edge.
