NiSi 100x150mm Nano IR Soft Graduated Neutral Density Filter ND16 (1.2) 4 stops

Shot a harbour scene at sunset with the skyscrapers poking into a bright horizon and the glass held detail without any of that muddy colour cast I usually fight. The 4-stop soft grad sank the sky into place while the buildings kept their natural tone, and the finish is so clean it feels like nothing

Finally got the exposure balanced on a landscape with a dark foreground and bright sky, the 4-stop grad did exactly what I needed without any weird color shift. The optical glass is noticeably sharper than my old resin filters.

Used this to balance a sunrise shot with a tall church steeple breaking the horizon, and the soft transition blended beautifully without any harsh line. No color cast at all, which was a relief since I’ve had issues with other grads before.
