Here is the second part of our article on graduated ND (Neutral Density) filters.<\/p>\n

Depending on how well calibrated your monitor is, there should be a difference in the images displayed below.<\/p>\n

The exposure for\u00a0 the images were identical and the camera was used on ‘Daylight’ for the white balance setting, unless otherwise stated,\u00a0 we took the initial meter reading then put the camera into manual mode.<\/p>\n

\"Without\"<\/a>Without filter<\/p>\n

\"With\"<\/a>With filter<\/p>\n

\"Positioned\"<\/a>Filter position adjusted to bias sky<\/p>\n

\"Auto\"<\/a>Auto exposure<\/p>\n

\"AWB\"<\/a>Auto white balance<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/p>\n

Positioning of the filter will make a considerable difference, as will the strength of filter,\u00a0 there is a degree of trial and error involved, but the results are worth it.<\/p>\n

Putting the camera onto auto exposure reduces the effect of the filter, better as stated previously is to take a reading before using the filter and using the camera in manual exposure with the same settings.<\/p>\n

Also notice what happens when the camera is set to AWB (Auto white balance), the camera tries to compensate for any colour bias in the filter resulting in a warmer foreground.<\/p>\n
