Agree with what has been said already. Can not overlook the really soft gradations possible only with a soft edge ND grad. The dark to light in the clouds for the included image could only be captured with the soft edge. Also had a CPL on to gain as much cloud pop as I could get in the capture. Anything I can do at the time of capture to get closer to the image I want to print is that much less time spent processing and also serves to reduce image degradation that occurs with heavy handed operations in post.
