@@TheSlantedLens And you explained it very well for everyone.. when the sun in the shot creates way too wide of a dynamic range there really isn't a better way to tame things down into a single exposure. It's worth the effort.
Hello Jay P, great informative video with a good selection of photographs. I will now do some homework to make my choice. Thanks for sharing and remember to stay safe 😷
Very good overview and I agree with most of the filters. The CPL is the only one I personally feel that's necessary (aside from an ND filter perhaps). The graduated filter effect can be created in post. And this is one of the few times I'd say you're better off doing this in post (of course if you're a purist, then you'll want the filter). For one, you can control what areas the filter applies to using masks in your post production software, and secondly, it's not baked into your image. So in a way, the graduated filter effect can be done in post and probably with slightly better (if not at least the same) results as using an actual filter. The Circular polarizing filter is a different story and is hard if not impossible to replicate in post. Personally, the two I would pick would be CPL and ND filter. Both of which are harder to replicate in post (especially if you're trying to do a waterfall wit silky smooth water, or blurred clouds). You CAN sometimes do this if the light is low and you step the lens down but generally it's harder. AGain, I feel graduated NDs (in most forms) can be replicated in post and that's probably a better method for those who don't want it burned into their images at the time of exposure.
Your photos are AMAZING! Let me know when you have a minute, I need to talk to you about canvas prints! I have an idea to help you sell more canvas prints if that's one of your goals for 2022… :)
Even though these are the most useful. There are lots of other types of filters that have multiple uses. Not sure what you bought, but they still might be useful for you.
I never use filters for digital photography. I did use filter many years ago for analog film cameras, UV-filter or Skylight-filter for color photography and light yellew or dark yellow as a "standard"-filter for Black & White Photography, I also some times used orange, red or green filter for Black & White. A UV-filter can be used "to make a scene foggy", in cold weather blow/breathe on the filter and wait until it gives the look that you want, you can also use some greasy "nose-fat" on a UV-filter to soften an image. I have tried to use polarized filter and ND-filter, but those are not to my taste, I will rather wait for the right light.
Well, maybe not 100,000, but graduated filters can be replicated in post, with more control thanks to improved photo editing software. It's not baked into your final image and you can mask out areas where you don't want it to apply. I think that's what ISO Awe is probably talking about. That and people tend to OVERUSE a CPL or crank it to the extremes and you get funky patterns. AS with anything, if you do it in moderation, it can help in some cases, but overuse is also bad.
I found your channel right now and subscribed. Too I was happy your blog fastened to my news feed :-)
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Great demonstration! That's definitely a nice kit for getting a nice shot with a single exposure. Thanks!
Yes, I really love shooting with it. Thanks for watching!

Nice lens & camera! I dig it! Absolutely my favorite combo. Like these videos of being out in the field shooting.
Glad to hear it. Thanks for your comment!
Very illustrative. Love the way you do presentations. Awesome photos!
Thank you very much! Appreciate your comment!
Hello Jay P, great informative video with a good selection of photographs. I will now do some homework to make my choice. Thanks for sharing and remember to stay safe 😷
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your decision!
Great Information ! . I have use the polarizer and the graduated filter. Now I need to get a reverse gradation filter. Thanks J.P.
You're welcome! Glad you found it helpful!
Wonderful video very professional!
Thank you very much! And thanks for watching!

Good points. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
The less digital manipulation for me, the better. That's why I have the filters out in the field myself.
Nice!
Do you in general do landscape photography as a way to take a break from your work?
Have a good week!
It is nice to get out in nature to get a break!
Your photos are AMAZING!

Thanks for watching and keep on clickin!
I wish I saw you video before I bought all those filters. I wonder if I could sell to purchase the 95 mm adjustable filter🤦🏽♂️😱👍🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲

Cool
Glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!

The right light and the right filter give a super result!
Get a tilt-shift lens.
It is nice for some things.
Did I hear you right ? Did you say your JP Morgan? Your the one in giving all my money to?
That would be nice to be that JP Morgan.
Sorry Buddy, but there’s about 10,000 landscape photographers who wouldn’t agree with your choices.
Not sure where you get that info. Thanks for watching!
