I bought this grad ND filter specifically to use with a wonderful Reality So Subtle 6x6F pinhole camera, to keep the skies from being blown in very long exposures. The results have been exactly what I hoped for.

question

Hello,I am looking to use this with my 18-55mm ED II Nikkor lens and I have never used a screw-on GND filter before, so will this attach easily and will it be easy to adjust the GND horizon line? I am reading some reviews that say it's difficult to locate which is top and bottom for this filter...I am looking to use it mainly for sunrise/sunset shots on the coast and in the mountains. Will this be a good choice? The price is what's attractive me the most here...Thank you for your feedback!

Attaching the Tiffen 52mm Graduated 0.6 ND Filter is as easy as screwing the filter onto the filter threads on the front of the lens. As the horizon line is built into the filter, it is not adjustable. You would have to frame your image to correspond with the horizon line on the filter. A graduated neutral density filter will have some effect for sunrise/sunset, especially when the sun is higher in the sky. However, when the sun is close to the horizon, a reverse graduated filter is usually recommended to better even out the brightness in the center of the frame from the sun as opposed to a standard graduated filter when the sun is higher in the sky.
