I just picked up a set of Polar Pro ND filters, 8, 16, 32, polarized and polarized 8 and 16.
What would you recommend to accentuate the misty clouds while reducing the sun blowing them out? In just the right conditions, we get these clouds rising off a local river in the mornings when the air is cold and the water still warm. Pretty soon, the water will cool off and we won't get these until next year. They burn off as soon as the sun starts rising, so I get maybe 15 to 20 minutes before they're gone.
If anyone could offer any advice on a good filter to start with, I'd appreciate it. Just want to make the most of them while they're here. Would a polarizing filter reduce the visibility of the clouds or accentuate them?
Thanks.
This is just straight from the camera, didn't bother tweaking it since the blown out areas ruin it. This was with ProTune on, flat colors, spot metering off, and I think EV comp at -1.
