Hello all, for my upcoming backpacking trip im looking to get my gear ready. I have a sony a7 II and plan to only bring a Tamron 28-200mm lens. During my last trip i had some difficulties taking pictures during the day in respects to over exposure of certain parts (narrow alleys were dark while the sky was overexposed). Now im thinking about getting myself some ND filters. Are they the right tool for that? Or would a CPL already be enough?
Looking online i found different options in my price range (around 100 Euros), but are VND used in photography? Most reviews are only about videography, since you can adjust the ND setting on the fly. But this feature seems also usefull for photography.
Here are some examples of what im looking at currently: K&F VND or ND filter kit
thank you for any tips or recommendations
RAW format and post-processing playing with luminance curves can work wonders with dark subjects on a bright background (for me, birds against the sky).
