Random shots, from my Cokin P-series holder, P121 M 3-stop Graduated Neutral Density filter, and P113 +3 Split Field filter.
The Split Field is rarely understood, being a close-up filter sliced exactly in half, so you can focus on objects close to you in one half of the frame, and far-away objects in the other half.
Like so.
Unfortunately it works best with objects that go across the frame, or else you’d have unnatural bokeh nearby.
The 3-stop GND however is one of the most commonly-used filters, and a good reason alone to buy rectangular filters instead of circular, screw-on ones. Here, the GND is oriented with the ND part on the top.
Another one. You wouldn’t be able to get a even exposure otherwise.
The holder I bought holds 3 Cokin filters – so I could combine filters by putting them in different slots.
Finally, just the GND.
I like how the last picture makes Masjid Jamek and the drain looks so glamorous and romantic when in fact it’s one of the dirtiest places in the city.
Ohhhh where did you get the split focus filter?
Thanks Will!
Dreaming Artemis: I got it second-hand from a guy in East Malaysia – he was selling it.
