Hi,
I'm wondering what others are using besides a CPL to enhance your photography.
Besides water falls are there any other uses for a neutral density filter?
Have a safe and Happy New Year!

I have a set of 3 ND filters, and a CPL. I have no use for graduated ND because seldom am I lucky enough to shoot landscapes where there is an edge to edge horizon (or division between light and dark elements) where a graduated ND will give me the desired result. I get much better results when I shoot to protect highlights, and use a simple mask or more involved luminosity masking to isolate the areas of the image I need to lighten(or darken) to rebalance the tonal values, and apply different contrast/tone/saturation/noise reduction to the darker, noisier areas.

I hardly never use a CPL although I have them for all my lens sizes. I shoot B&W film, so yellow, orange and dark red filters see the most use for my needs. Next is the occasional screw-in ND filter, either to use the widest apertures of my fastest lenses in bright light for digital, or for long-exposure shots in digital and film, or to adjust the light reaching the film so I can use a specific aperture or shutterspeed
Ditto on the B&W filters for film.
