Very beautiful, Ali! #961149Diane Dupuis December 08, 2004
Wow - this is spectacular! Congrats! What kind of filter did you use? (I'm new to filters and only have a circular polarizer and uv haze.) What is a grey graduated? The colors are so outstanding!! #961287Allan Farnsworth December 08, 2004
Very nice! #961349Ali Hoolash December 09, 2004
Thank you all for your nice comments!Diane Dupuis December 09, 2004
Wow - thanks so much for the detailed explanation, Ali ... I guess I'm off to the camera store to check it out! Thanks again and congrats on a spectacular sunset shot! #961919Patrick Campbell December 09, 2004
Diane - another name for these are graduated neutral density filters. The best ones are glass (Singh Ray and other brands), and rectangular ones that fit in a Cokin or other holder are more versatile than round ones that screw onto the lens. #962535Odelia January 04, 2005
I love it. The colors are absolutely gorgeous! #1014428Diane Dupuis January 04, 2005
I'm still lovin' it Ali! Congrats on being featured in Photoflash! #1014526Jeffrey Berkes February 21, 2005
Great shot Ali! I have been looking for the Graduated ND filters. which stop did you use? and was the filter applied to the top or bottom of the pic? #1122171Ali Hoolash February 21, 2005
To Jeffrey: thanks, Jeffrey. Unfortunately, the Cokin set of Graduated filters don't come in stops. I have 2 of them, the 120 and 121 but I guess they are 1 and 2 stops respectively.Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
