REVERSE ND GRAD
Reverse ND grads
These filters are similar to a standard ND grad, but the filter is at its darkest in the centre, graduating to clear at both the top and bottom. Reverse ND grads are mainly designed for getting a balanced exposure when the brightest point of your scene is at the horizon, making them ideal for seascape shots at sunrise and sunset.

Mist filters
This filter isn’t right for every occasion, but it can add bags of atmosphere to an image. My mist filter of choice is the LEE Mist Stripe. The filter has a light graduated mist strip running through the middle of the filter that replicates the appearance of a layer of mist that can be placed anywhere in frame. This effect is great for lakes or other bodies of water at first light.
