Lake Bonney
South Australia This weekend, I went out to test three bits of equipment. Laowa’s 12mm F2.8 lens, a night filter by Nisi and a horizon GND by Nisi. This image was shot at 12mm which is very wide considering my widest lens to date is the 16-35mm F4. It has pretty good sharpness throughout so far that I can see. Stay tuned for a review on the lens once I get more use out of it. As for the Horizon ND filter, I think the current iteration is a a little too dense with an abrupt cut off. It’s an interesting concept, but for this image, I had to exposure blend anyway, which for me, kind of defeats the purpose of using GNDs. You can see the grad line in the bottom half, but not the top as that was balanced out by a 3 stop soft GND. The good thing about Nisi is that they listen to feedback so I’m hopeful there’ll be a softer graduated version of this filter in the future 🙂
