Description
Darwin and Samantha’s eBook Essential Filters for Digital Nature Photography has become the standard resource for photographers interested in learning more about filters and how filters can be used to create technically better digital photos. This follow-up eBook, Advanced Filters for Digital Nature Photography continues where the last eBook left off and introduces photographers to advanced filter techniques that lead to creative imagery often impossible to replicate in software.
Learn how to use in-camera filters to create unique and desirable effects. Darwin and Samantha cover the Gold-N-Blue and Blue/Yellow polarizing filters, the 1.5 stop hard-edge grad filter for making perfect reflection photos, the Daryl Benson reverse ND grad filter, and specialty ND filters like Lee’s Big Stopper and Singh-Rays trio of Vari-ND filters.
Learn how to correct colour casts caused by filtration in post-production, see why a 1.5 stop ND grad is the solution for perfect reflection photos, discover why the Daryl Benson reverse ND grad is an essential filter for prairie and desert photography, and be creative by using ND and Vari-ND filters to ‘paint with time’. Finally, Darwin and Samantha show you the creative power of combining two or more of these filters for expressive and creative photography.

Hi Darwin
I had your Essential Filters eBook so I was reluctant to buy this one but I’m sure glad I did. I had a big problem in that nearly all my shots using the Singh-Ray Vari-n-duo at max density outdoors were underexposed – this new eBook solved that problem and this simple solution alone was worth $10!
My next problem is that when shooting sunsets in the desert and I use a ND Grad the end result is a semi-circle arc of lightness – lighter nearer where the sun set and darker further away. Will the Daryl Benson Reverse ND solve this problem?
Hi Mario, The Daryl Benson grad solves the issue of a bright horizon band but if you have a very wide angle lens the horizon gets darker further from the sun. So if you use really wide lenses the DB reverse grad won’t solve the problem you are having. It will reduce it but not solve is so you still may have to take 2 or 3 photos and blend them together or at least lightened the edges of your images in post. Darwin
Yes, I was using a 10-24mm wide angle lens @ 12mm – too wide for the scene! Thanks Darwin.
Hi hope you can help me.I have recieved a few of your ebooks,their great. But, I am having difficulty trying to decide which filter holder system wiould be better,the cokin zpro or the lee. I do shoot wide so I figure I’ll go 4×6 from the begining. Question I have is I don’t see how you can actually mount a circular polarizer onto the front of the lee system. Because if you do theres space between the lens and filter. Unless the accessary adaptor is mounted towrds the lens side?. I have not yet purchased it but looking every place on the web I can’t find any explicit directions for mountind it or showing it in the holder with other filters in it. Sorry for the trouble but I thought you could help. Thanks in advance your new student. Bill
