Using Filters

Mosman Morning
Originally uploaded by BE Photographic

A few months ago I bought off Ebay two coloured gradient filters (gray and orange) but never really used them.

I got up early one morning and drove down to the river for the sunrise that was looking like it was going to be promising, with a bank of clouds on the horizon.

I experimented with my ND+8 filter on my 10-20mm Sigma lens with a combination of the gray filter to reduce the exposure on the sky.

With the use of gradient filters on your landscape shots can really give you a dramatic look to your photos. With sunset and sunrise shots, the most difficult part is to get equal exposures between the sky and the foreground. With the use of filters, this makes it child's play :)

I've been working for a group called ISIS (Commercial Interior Design & Fit-out Company) for the last few years doing photography for their social functions and other bits and pieces. I've recently been asked to shoot a few of their finished works in Perth.

Recently they have used the shots that I took in Trend Commercial Design Magazine which is an international architecture magazine.

Published results can be seen on my flickr site as well.
