I bought me a Grad Filter and tried it out today. What do you think?

not the kind of sky u really need it with.. but its not done any harm and probably preserved some of the large cloud detail..

the one u have looks about right to me.. a more gradual fade lets u get away with things sticking up in the middle..

In matters of color i think its pretty good...

But i also think you need to level the horizon :D:D:D

Nice shot though

Thanks Trog, I think I might get a lot of use out of the filter. It worked better than I expected. Also thanks for talking me into getting one.
Markus, I tried to edit the lean. Thanks for pointing it out.

Nice, I like it...dramatic architecture.Yep 1/2 degree horizon tilt.That's just the earth rotating.Ha! ND filter?I need to get one.Are there different levels of graduation? What brand filter.Curious. Details...

b.t.w. hows the new pup ? She/he is precious. :O)

they come in all types and colours..one like greg has would be a good start.. u buy the adaprter.. the holder.. then slide whatever filters u buy into the holder..

i tend to only use the one mostly..

Thanks Rick, It's a Heliopan Grad ND 0.6 (4x). I bought it because it was the most popular selling size. It really makes a difference. The skies here would have normally blown out. The pup is fine. It's my daughters fav, she's two. She wears it out playing with it.LOL
