Reverse ND grad

That's a very clever filter, and it's use resulted in a great shot Julian.

It got me thinking: would taking the regular GND, holding it upside down with the dark bottom at the horizon have a similar effect?

It'd give a really hard edge and longer transition zone than the reverse grad does. The reverse grads generally have a fairly narrow area of max. density fading to nil at the top.

Thanks Jon, that makes sense.

I've had one of these filters for about 2 years and haven't used it yet. I'm too stupid to recognize when I am in a situation when it would help. Gotta remember I have it!

Thanks Bea! It was pretty much luck if you ask me. I'm still learning how to use it properly but, I will post more results when I get the chance.

To answer your question. Here's a neat read of why it isn't recommended. Hope this helps.

I will buy this filter soon, just because i ordered many filters few days ago and some another items, now i have to save few bucks next week to order this filter as well.

I will not travel without filters, many landscapes and outdoor shooting i will do so i have to be fully ready.
