What ND grad/ND filters do you walk with?
I love landscape and travel photography and have been considering picking up some of these filters to try out.
Ideally I don't really want to carry more than 3 with me so wondered what people would consider "essential" to have to cover most landscape scenarios.
I was thinking Cokin as my budget is around £50. I don't want to spend too much on an experiment.
My thoughts were to have a 4 stop ND filter for use in blurring water, a 10 stop ND filter for some longer exposures on clouds for example and a 3 stop soft edge graduated filter for landscapes and correctly exposing skies. Do I really need a hard edge GND filter aswell?
This mirrors the set that photographer Elia Locardi created but without the £250 price tag.
I've seen the Cokin sets but I didn't want 3 similar filters if one could do the job well.
Does this sound okay?
Also, can anyone recommend a carry case/holder for these filters?
Thanks for any help
