I know&#8230; Almost all of us, took pictures of breathtaking scenes(sunsets, sunrises, beaches, more with bright skies..) with our digital cameras and when we see the images back on the computer screen, the sky is washed out white(damn..). The reason being our camera doesn&#8217;t see the scene as our eye sees it. Here comes the Singh-Ray Grad ND filters which is a way to fool the camera&#8217;s sensor to underexpose the parts of the image that are too bright and bring the sky back to life.\u00a0These filters are a gift to Landscape photographers<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">P.S<\/span>: Too little experiment, I know.
