Some people say that using ND filters either with ps or in the lens is too much manipulation, and that this picture is heavily edited, do you think a photographer that used a nd filter is much a photographer?

I do remember my teacher when he asked me to use a camera without ps to be a real photographer !
My answer was it dose not matter in the exhibition either you have used ps or not ? people will amaze by final result ..
Let's think by different angle ..!
I prefer to use ND in lens but if you don't have it what will you do will you let the chance go ? PS there ..

Good thinking, generally I avoid using photoshop, but I realised that these two really come along, do you think if a person (another photographer) uses photoshop as a lack of skill?

This one is very handy tutorial. I must say that using NG grad filters is essential for landscapes and this can help if you can not afford filters.

nice tutorial mate, i sometimes use masking over levels or curves, when i forget my Cokin filters at home or when i-m not pleased with the results so this tutorial is great for beginners in photoshop

Funtoon In reply to seraphRo [2009-10-11 11:39:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks mate .. you are correct it's a beginners tutorial but could you believe that i have no graduate filter until now i have just ND8 so i always used this technique .. I have search many time in my city to find Cokin or graduate filter but i did not find it so i have to purchase it for amazon ..

seraphRo In reply to Funtoon [2009-10-11 12:17:17 +0000 UTC]

i see, still the ND8 is quite ok, to not get over-exposures, did you try searching online ? in your home country i mean, i bought my filters from a local online shop, and the prices were quite ok, you should be able to find some graduated filters i did search online for distributors at the cokin.fr site, and i got this information for Saudi Arabia:

Annahdi Trading Corporation
P.O. BOX 1672
Jeddah - 21441
Tel : (2) 645 0007
Fax : (2) 644 4625


Hope this helps, and the number is good, you may be able to save a lot from the shipping, this being in your country

ooooooooooooh my friend could you believe that i bought my ND8 from that shop .. and when i asked them if thay can bring to me grade filter thay said no we just have this one and other stupid filters so really diffecult to find what you want as a photographer even the simple thing like shutter release can't find since to months ..
