Filters

Spent a fair time yesterday trying to do the projects relating to Graduated and Polarising filters. Made a right bog of it. Have no previous experience of Grad filters other than as part of the software in Photoshop and Lightroom so found the mounting and moving of the filter unnecessarily complex. Less problem with the polarising filter which simply screws on to the lens.

Have to admit that part of the problem was my attitude that was one of Why am I doing this? For most of the problems that filters are designed to overcome there are other ways available such as two exposures or bracketed exposure of the same scene or using the filters in software. Still I suppose I must persevere so will have another attempt when the weather is suitable.
