I bought a Neutral Density (ND) filter to use with my circular polarizing filter to preserve detail in the clouds and around the sun while shooting into sunlight or bright skies. It takes some getting used to, but I’m getting the hang of it. The changeable skies we’ve had lately are giving me plenty of opportunity to experiment.
