Hi Panyakit. All of my neutral density gradient filters (NDG) are of the Lee brand except for one, which is a reverse NDG by Daryl Benson/Singh-Ray. All of these are rather pricey, especially the Benson filter. They are also of quite good quality and well made. Since I shoot mostly medium format 6x7 and the filter sizes are somewhat large, these NDG filters are all 4x6 inches.
I also have some Tiffen filters for special effects, such as a North-Star cross-screen, some diffusers, and an opaque IR filter. The cross screen is glass and was very expensive. The quality of the Tiffen filters are also quite good.
I think that far more reasonably priced alternatives exist in the HiTech brand. From what I have seen over the years the results are similar.

Once again, many thanks to all of you for the kind words.
HI DOUG!...I don't get around that much over here anymore. I really should renew my subscription since the quality of this site is superior to so many others. Take care, stay warm, and a Merry Christmas!
I was very pleased with the way this photograph came out. The color of the street lights (a pale green) was the result of using the Velvia. They actually looked to the eye more of a normal white color, but I really think they add to the scene as they are. I made a 16x20 Chromira print on Fuji Supergloss and matted with black suede under TruVue Museum glass with a simple, leather-textured black frame. I must say that the result is quite nice.

Beautiful large professionally made Chromira prints are available. Please visit my website at a href="www.yarmouthlane.com" >Yarmouth Lane Photography for details. The original 6x7 transperancy was scanned on a Minolta Dimage Scan Multi Pro at 3200ppi, 16 bit color. Levels were adjusted post-scan in CS2.

Great photograph! I like the color in the surrounding cliff and the way it contrasts with the blue water. Nice detail in the trees, too. Regards.

Nice photograph Elizabeth! You made the right choice to crop most of the sky out. I like the sunburst highlight in the upper right. Regards.

Hi Harry. Well, I will tell you what I did to this and then you decide if it qualifies as unmanipulated. This was made from a single 6x7 frame that was scanned once. From that file, I adjusted the entire sky as one layer, reducing the gamma to bring out the detail. I tried to feather that layer to reduce the transition effect of the NGD filter at the horizion line but artifacts still remain in this version. I used another layer to adjust the FG levels. Saturation was left alone. I sharpened using USM. No clone tools employed. These are standard procedures that I would have done in my darkroom years ago, no big thing.
Now, if your understanding of unmanipultated means straight from camera to screen then this does not qualify for that. But consider this, if you are shooting digital then your camera's firmware is manipulating that digital file before you even download it. The anti-aliasing filter glued to the front of the sensor is manipultating it before it even gets processed by the camera's ASIC. It was manipultated even as you shot the scene. If you are scanning film, like me, then your scanner is doing the same thing.
In the digital realm no image is truly unmanipulated. It would be difficult to post an untouched contact print on the web, no? I have a rule that I never mark any of my photographs as unmanipultated because of all that I mentioned above. Please reread my into, I marked this one as "essentially unmanipultated". I probably should stick to my own rule. Sorry.

Hi Shirely! Well, I think that you and I are going to be very unhappy when that inevitable final roll of film is made; hopefully not for many years to come. You mention Fujichrome 100, but is this Astia? Color looks great!
I love your sense of composition in this photograph. The falls are balanced well by the bright yellow tree on the right. Nice shutter speed selection, too.
If this were mine I would have edited out the small white posts along the top left of the precipice. But still, this is a great photograph. Well done! Regards.:)

Nice exposure, good color. I like the composition and the long shadows; they provides a nice overall warmth to the image. I would have liked to have seen a bit more along the bottom of the frame, enough to see the base of the large tree meet the ground. Still, a good photograph! Regards.

I have always enjoyed infrared photography, and this is certainly an enjoyable photograph. I especially like the composition and framing of the subject by the foreground trees.
