Graduated ND filter.

[Ron Evers]

I was looking out the window this evening & thought I should try to catch this moment. I mounted a Vivitar 24mm & went out onto the balcony & took this shot:

I noticed the foreground lacked definition in reviewing the shot & went back inside & added a graduated ND filter, went back out & took the same shot again.

My opinion is that it improved not only the foreground but the sky as well. What say you?

Very definite improvement; in fact you could have added even another stop of G-ND.

made a bigger difference in the foreground for the better. Much brighter and detailed
