ND Graduated Filters and Sunsets

In my sunset experimentation, I have been making use of my graduated neutral density filters. This is made difficult by my not having the correct size for my wide angle lens, creating the need to hold the filter against the lens while I take a photo which is not ideal.

Nevertheless, it worked well for this sunset. I traipsed off to back beach to see if I could combine the sunset with some water. The features on back beach were not as appealing as I had hoped for the water shots but I did get to experiment with my filters and play with some silhouettes which was fun.

I also got to be eaten alive by sand flies, prompting me to include insect repellent to my photography kit! You live and learn!
