I had a CP filter, but I sctach the filter, so really it's no good unless I want to photoshop every image.
So, lately I've been photographing couples outdoors. And since I'm exposing for the subjects, the sky keeps getting blown out. Also, bodies of water behind them also get blown out....
So the people look great, and exposed and the back is stark white or a dull looking white sky.
Should I get a new CP filter or a graduated neutral density filter?
Also, the graduated ND filters I see don't rotate, so when I focus - my lens end does rotate, does that mean every time I focus, I'll have to remove the graduated ND filter and put it back on correctly?
I'm shooting digitally, but once I lose color and detail in the sky and/or water... I can't get it back.
Thanks in advance for your help. (sorry about all the posts) - I feel like the more I practice and learn, the more questions I have.
Thanks again, Lisa
