Pardon my ignorance having never used a GND. Is it the filter that made the land mass on the left-side horizon flat grey? If so, is that another thing that bothers you about the filters or is it more the operation of them?

I am sure Randy answered your questions. I am struggling with the vignetting problem created by these filters. Not sure if this is because I lack the skills of using the filters.

A GND is a graduated neutral density filter. It reduces the exposure gradually from darker to lighter in half of the filter. And Marcy didn't use one. On sunsets/sunsrises shot in landscape orientation (like these pics), it would not create a difference from the left to the right but from top to bottom. You line up the change in density along the horizon, typically. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the explanations.
