my Filter – GND .6s & RGND 2 stops | liewwk

it is not easy to tell how filter help us as landscape photographer … normally we face

1. either foreground correct exposure but the sky will be over or sky ok but foreground under

2. when light reach horizontal (sunset/sunrise last momet) … the center park of the light source use to over exposure with highlight blown …

and here is a simple picture show what filters I to get different results

filter or not .. and GND or RGND ????

– GND use up to the grass level

– RGND use up to the house

– meter on foreground grass

my Beg – Field Station – Beltpack

nowaday .. there are plenty of photography application which can found at smart phone, ipad , iphone …etc .. e.g nd timer (use for long exposure), star chart (use for star tracking and shooting), star walk (use for star , sun, moon set time) , tide app (use to check tide status) … and most of us will prefer bigger screen but too bad I found iPAD just too big to carry around … so my solution is Lowerpro Field Station – Beltpack
