Thanks also to Jim, Rick, Sam and Mark. I really was over the moon when I got them back from the lab yesterday. I can't believe I'd spent the last 2 months too nervous to use it.
It was well worth it - that is a sublime image.

Well the Velvia bug truly has bitten. I've learnt from this that yes, I can shoot directly into the sun without getting extreme flare with 2 filters so long as it's behind a small amount of cloud, and I need a much, much darker darkcloth so I can place my filters better.
I'm in love with the colours though!

Chris, the darkcloth won't help. Get some black card cut as wide as your filter and a small binder clip, fold the card over so the edge falls directly on the edge of the filter's gradation, clip this onto your filter before inserting into your holder, stop the lens down to your shooting stop and slide the filter into position. This makes it a hell of a lot easier and you won't get that "hey, I used a grad filter" look.

I can't believe I didn't think of this. I've been eyeing up the wrong beast as a fix. Thanks!
Though it is time I upgraded from an old black t shirt (complete with holes) to at least thermal curtians :cool:

I use a post it note on the graduation line of the GND filter. I picked up the trick on this forum, but can't remember from whom. The post it note sticks without leaving any residue on the filter.
Cheers!

Very nice.
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Here is a shot I did in Kings Canyon in March of this year. Shot on some old expired t-max 400 knee deep in the snow with my 240 fuji. Print is an Azo/Amidol contact print in 8x10.

Joe, I really like that shot! Nice depth, mood.
