It's the 3rd prong on many outlets and cords. Helps to safely ground the electrical device you are using to prevent electrocution. I'm sure someone could exlpain it better though.

A GND would have affected the tops of the trees metinks.

The bottom half of the filter is lighter and it gradually gets darker as it graduates up. It helps to balance the exposures especially for earth and sky images. The also make a reverse GND where the bottom is darker and then it gets light as you go up. These are perfect for sunsets but the only people that make it are Lee and they are about serious money.

It's a single shot HDR. I think this one was from -4 to +1. I didn't want to go too high and add noise to the darker areas of the image. So no, there were no GND filters used and it was taken with the kit lens.

It looks like the tops of the trees are darker about even with the bottom of the clouds.

Under folder options there should be a tab called file types. Scroll down until you find the extension .docx. It should have Word 2007 next to it, if not then that is the problem.

Thanks for that. I was curious as to how they worked, and also in what circumstances you would need to use one.

In all honesty there really is no reason to use one anymore. HDR's and manually blending multiple exposures in PP will make GND's obsolete for most photographers.

Howdy, since people liked the previous picture i did, I'll throw it back in, and another one too of the Angel of the North for wallpaper:

Harm, isn't this in Scotland?
Anyways, I think that these are my favorite shots I've ever seen you post.

In the Folder Options dialoge box, click on the tab "File types". Then you would actually look for the file extension (.docx for example) and click to highlight it. When you do that, at the bottom, there is a "Change" button to change the program used to open that particular file extension. If you can't see the file extensions, in folder options click on the second tab and UNcheck the "show known file extensions" or something like that. I'm on my work computer right now and can't get to far into that area so I am going off memory.

Speaking of....it's time to close down and go home .

Thank you very much for that. Glad I am improving and not becoming crap!!

Newcastle (the Angel of the North is actually in Gateshead) is about 40 mins away from the scottish border. So we're close to it, but not in it here is a wikipeadia link ---> Link

I thought about that when I saw the price for the reverse but have not had the opportunity to try it out. Does the line of the glass show up in the image?

control panel>default programs!! found it!! YAY!!! Thanks for all the help folks, I truly appreciate it.
