Steve Gosling Takes Iceland
"As a landscape photographer I could not produce my style of images without my Lee filters – particularly my ND graduated (a full range of hard and soft grads) and ND (0.6, 0.9 and a ‘Big Stopper’) filters. I frequently get asked on my workshops – ‘why do you use ND grads when images can be blended so easily in software’? Well I was brought up on film and learned how to ‘get it right’ in camera and I adopt the same philosophy when shooting digitally – why spend time in front of the computer when my filters enable me to get the shot first time around?! And my ND filters enable me to capture the energy, movement and dynamism in the landscape that is an essential part of my approach." -Steve Gosling
