As a fine art photographer practicing landscape photography regularly this article is very useful. Not so much for me directly but for my workshops as a good reference. On the use of filters, I have found that I almost never need to use gradual density filters because that's very easy to do in Lightroom or Camera Raw, more accurately than possible with an actual filter in front of the lens. I do use polarizing filters though. A little bit on HDR techniques would be good. [link]
I know this is from like a super long time ago, but still thank you for putting this out there I could never quite get how photographers got such dramatic color and lighting in their photos until I read about the filters. I'm definitely gonna have to get some of those!!
Hey, great tutorial! Aside from filters, I don't think I learnt anything new from it as such, but it certainly made me aware of some of my bad habits.. like never using a portrait format..
