bags27 Posted July 4, 2018 Share #3 Posted July 4, 2018 +1 post-processing is making a lot of filters nearly redundant. Think of filters as low tech pre-processing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris O Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted July 4, 2018 I’m getting a lot of noise when I go to boost the shadows, especially for sunset shots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bags27 Posted July 4, 2018 Share #5 Posted July 4, 2018 that makes sense. I do think that ND filters (along with IR filters) still have a place in our camera bags. How else can you stop water on a bright day? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Guy Posted July 4, 2018 Share #6 Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) I may be missing a fine point on achieving optimum exposure for high dynamic range situations like sunrise and sunsets, but I stopped using graduated ND filters. I bracket the exposure then combine using HDR in Lightroom. I absolutely always carry a 6 or 10 stop ND filter for slowing water. No substitute in LR. Likewise a circular polarizer is irreplaceable. I’ve recently acquired an IR filter which is fun to use occasionally too. Edited July 4, 2018 by Infiniumguy 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, but the original post was about grads, hence my answer. I use a polariser too if I need one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted July 4, 2018 Share #8 Posted July 4, 2018 (edited) Can anyone recommend a graduated ND filter for the Q? First buy an affordable version then decide for yourself. Digital remedies are, ah, digital. The best examples of their abuse can be found in American Florida TV dramas. Avoid.

MLochmansPhoto Posted October 4, 2018 Share #9 Posted October 4, 2018 Can anyone recommend a graduated ND filter for the Q? I have a B+W 2 stop ND grad screw in filter. It even lets you correct the horizon. Only disadvantage is...The transition is precisely in the middle. But you can correct for that in post if needed. It does the job as it should be, no colorcast that I can notice. I have one with a 62 mm filter thread. I don't know if they make them in 49 mm. Hope this helps.
