What you need is a graduated filter, not a neutral density filter. Personally, I don't find I need one for sunsets, but try looking at the Cokin P range. If you want to spend more money, try Lee. G

HI Pete. You need a set of ND (ND2, ND4 & ND8) graduated filters, start by looking here... The P series will give you good use but if your going wide angle you may end up with vignetting in which case you will need to look at the Z or X Pro filters or go for a set of LEE filters (you will...

ND grad filters can be a little expensive, you could try and get hold of a very lightly tinged graduated sunset filter though this will obviously colour the image and may turn a glorious sunset into scene from mars :shock: whichever you go for you'll need a filter holder and adaptor rings to sui...

Pete, If you have a tripod with you then it might be possible to get excellent results by shooting an exposure metered from the sky near to the setting sun and, without moving the camera, shoot another metered from the foreground. Most photo editing software has provision for combining the sky ...

I repeat, you are looking for graduated filters, not ND filters. Graduated ND filters are certainly an option, but there are other options, with various tints, which you may or may not find pleasing. G

If your stuck but have your tripod or a bean bag etc, shoot in raw, take 2 shots, one exposed for the sunset and another one exposed for the foreground without moving the camera, you can then blend them in PS. Thanks Guys I was actually thinking this morning how to do it and then thought of taking ...

Why bother bracketting? Just shoot raw and do the 'bracketting' during post-processing. You have a +/- 3 stop latitude in just one shot. PS: Pete, you are only about an hour from where I live. Enjoy Almeria. Regards,

this might be interesting to look at... Terrible HDR image as the first image... :roll: There's plenty of information on good HDR on the ePhotozine forums ;) Exposing correctly for HDR can be a right pain - and you can't easily do it with the camera on the tripod (that's where a quick release pla...

The feature is located on the "Drive mode" button (top left on the back). Use the thumb and finger wheels to move to bracket mode and then choose the number and interval (with the front and back dials) when you're in that mode. Matt, on my K10D that button only controls bracketing. Is th...

Bit lost on how to take two readings from both areas without moving the camera especially spot metering ?? take the readings before you frame the shot, as I suggested. When I'm taking a shot I rove around the important areas with the spot meter in M mode, watching the exposure readout.
