[QUOTE="MrF, post: 147287, member: 10292"] I have a 2 stop grad. For sunsets over water, as the sun gets lower on the horizon, I usually wind up taking it off. The brightest area of the scene is right at the horizon, right where the grad fades away to clear. The sun off the water tends to keep the area right below the horizon pretty bright as well. I found it wasn't helping with darkening the sun, and robbing me of detail higher up in the sky as the light faded. I don't know what part of Spain the OP is going to, but it's something to consider over water. I honestly can't say if it's the same over land. I can't think of the last time I took a sunset photo over land. That's what I get for living in CA or being at sea so much. Haha. [/QUOTE]
