Thanks minew_m

Mal, I wanted to respond to your questions. An ND filter is a "Neutral Density" filter. It reduces the light coming through the lens, and is neutral in terms of color. It does not change the color balance. I use a graduated one, which means it's neutral density at the top, and the effect gradually fades to transparent near the middle. It will darken the top half of the photo and allow you to get more exposure on the bottom half, bringing out detail in the shadows of a scene with a huge dynamic range.

Here is what a grad ND looks like.

If you have specific questions on any of these photos, please feel free to ask. I'm an open book.

Thanks so much. I appreciate all the help I've had from people on here more than you know. I've got some more general questions about filters but I think it'd be going a little off topic so I'm gonna take it over to the Q+A forum. If anyone's feeling helpful, here's the link:
