@fueast I have a Tiffen graduated density filter which I bought online. Tiffen supplies direct to public here through its own online store. These are about $60. I have a Nicna variable which I bought marked down in a store after losing one and needing one urgently before going to Bali. Their website though is http://nicna.en.alibaba.com/productgrouplist-209341434/Nicna_Filter.html
I have found the results of it OK. They also have fotga adapters which are useful for putting old camera lenses such as OM series on PEN. Might save up and get a Tiffen or Hoya variable one day, but at moment spending spares pennies on vintage cameras, lenses and film. I also have a super cheap set of ND2, 4, 8 which I bought for $15. I prefer the variable however because it allows adjustments to be made by rotating it on lense as light intensity changes during a sunset. I also sometimes put a UV filter between lenses and variable ND.
A minor technical issue is that too many filters on end of lense will be visible as a barrel on edge of photos. These means you will need to crop. A way to avoid this is with something like French Cokin system but who wants carry the extra gear. So go graduated and variable, it is the path...
faved!!! I loved Nusa Lembongan, the water in the bay was such a beautiful colour! The day we went there my camera battery died as we got off the boat!! (note to self...always check battery the night before!) anyway i got no shots of this beautiful island, so i love this!!
Gorgeous colors and those clouds are amazing and I love the mountain in the background. WOW.
