did a quick compare into single image .. for why we use GND and RGND
left … – no filter while foreground correct expose but the sky will look over
Center – with GND 1.2, the sky will be balance as reduce light go through on the top part but the horizontal level still look over due to the light source from there
right – the filter transit from center to top (darker at center) so managed to block more light at the horizontal level and maintain the details
there is no right and wrong in photography .. but using different filters will give you how your picture look like …..
and if you look for Lee Filter .. Singh-Ray … i may have some stock available
it is always difficult to have what you wish to have in frame (except we make the story to capture ….)
A good example, I was looking at the beautiful reflection on beach
*** above picture is ~1.5minutes after picture below but it look about same before too
and what I have with the “magic minute” moment
with the wave, I have no choice to capture it as leading line instead what I original plan to have the beautiful reflection … so do not change yours position even something change but we make the change into our final output …..
**** it is always difficult but we still try our best to capture the beauty of the nature … enjoy ……
