The other consideration you need to make is whether to use "hard" or "soft" Grad filters. Hard means the line between the clear and dark parts of the filter is very distinct. These are most useful when the areas you want to adjust are straight...as in a straight horizon line. Soft Grad ND filters have a transition from the dark to clear parts of the filter and are most useful when the areas in your image aren't straight. Most people would have both hard and soft to cover all situations.</p></blockquote><p></p>
