Jan Timmons
That’s quite a storm! Looks great as a monochrome, too! Could I ask, is the ND filter a graduated filter that you used for the sky? (Still learning.)
kathy s gillen... replied
thank you so much, that is how we all learn by asking , watching, and trying, a ND filter is Neutral Density and reduces the amount of light passing through the camera lens without changing the color of the scene. This filter is especially useful in bright- light conditions.
