Use the grads to balance exposure between the sky and the foreground. If used correctly they will prevent the sky being blown out if you meter for the foreground. I get great skies using a polariser and a 1stop grad.

If you don't know what they are for, why did you buy them? Seeing as they are not what you would call cheap!

Excuse me i do know what they are for i was asking advice on how to get the best from them,:razz::razz:,

i see your new here,with replies like that you wont get many friends here matey.
 
The 'orthodox way' is to get your "base exposure", that is, get a reading for the foreground in Manual mode, you will us this reading as your exposure time.

Then take a reading for the sky. If the sky is 3 stops brighter than the foreground, use the 0.9, if it is 2 stops brighter use the 0.6. and so on.

I really would recommend you get this book though.
