Learning to use Lee filters for photo shooting - part 2

Hi.
Today I am coming with a follow up to my Lee filter post.
As I mentioned in the last post I have been so lucky and got my hands on a Lee Seven5 system graduated filters for photoshooting.
I am going to make a series of post during 2018 of my experience of these.

(This time I have not take the pictures in the post because the need to show the filters in proper way)

Here you can see a camera set up with Lee filter

This time I am not going to present any pictures that I have taken, but try to explain how and why these filters are a good investment if you want your pictures to "stand" out from others.

The Lee filters are often found in a photographer`s bag, especially if he are doing a lot of landscape pictures.
When you are going to take pictures on a bright sun day, you can attach these filters infront of your lense and in that way get control of the light.
One example are a graduated filter that make you blend down the sky, while the ground stays in the same light as it is when you are taking the picture.

Here you see a hard and soft graded filter

With the filters above you can dim down the light from the sky, in this way you will be able to see more of the clouds and the pictures won't get "burned out" with a totally white sky.
If you are near the see or you have a good defined horizon you can use the hard graded because you often get a skyline that has a strait and clear line.
If you are in the forrest and the trees are stretching up in the clouds you can use a soft grade filter so they dont get to dark.

You also have filters that block most of all the light that goes true your lens

In addition to the graduated filters you have filters that block most of the light that goes true your lense.
This filters are used to clear out different movements in the picture and in this way you can get for example a cloud or dreamy see or a water fall.
As you can see in the picture below, not taken by me, the sea looks almost blurred out.

From now on I will come with a little tip or explanation to the pictures I take and try to telle you how the pictures come to bee.
If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Until next time, stay safe, warm and dry!

Kindest regards
@Gyldenhorn

Meget interessant. Regner med at en får bedre effekt av å gjøre det idet bildet blir tatt, istedenfor å bruke Lightroom til å få fram litt av den samme effekten fra raw filene?
Kanskje du kunne prøvd å hatt kameraet på et stativ, så tar du først 1 bilde med filteret, så 1 uten filteret, for deretter å prøve å lage til samme effekten i Lightroom? Hadde vært interessant å se hvordan blir resultatene da.
