Re: Anybody tried a Double Fog filter?

the low constrast filter will let you capture details. If you try
to make the contras lower with an editing program, you will not get
details that is not already there. With the low contrast filter
you will get these details in the pictures and that's the only way
you can do that. An overexposed area in an image will be
impossible to correct in any editing software.

Low contrast filters look promising, although I've never tried one. My KR ( color tempature conversion ) filter is giving me pretty good results in bright sun. My polarizer is invaluable, like you pointed out. I need an ND set, too, because you can't fake a time-exposure in Photoshop.

But most of the other ones can be done better on the computer, and faking an enhancing filter should teach you a lot ... if you have the time.
