Víðisandur Beach - Reykjanes - Iceland

I went out this morning to play with my NEW Reversed Graduate LEE FILTER.

I as many other Landscape photographers really like to play around the golden hours of sunrise and sunset, but with the rising or setting sun creating a very bright area close to the horizon it can be challenging to get the exposure right.

 

This type of filter is extremely useful in the wintertime in Iceland when the sun may be hovering only inches above the horizon so it can be really tricky to process the shot overall. The strength of the sun means it can appear blown out, and trying to adjust the exposure can leave other areas in the frame underexposed. When using one, you can prevent the sky from overexposing, while ensuring the area at the top of the frame isn't too dark.

In this shot I only used the Reversed graduate filter but in other shots I took this morning I used also ordinary graduate filter as well to balance the foreground (used it upside down). You can use as many filters at the same time as you want in the the same shot.

 

If you got filters, play around until its right. There is no law against that, right

 

Conclusion: Really happy with it and it will be used a lot.
