I don't know why but I have my camera set up to shoot at 16:9 but it will still shoot at this instead. Any ideas?

defiantly the first but they are all hdr scum.
Im not being a dick but when you can try get some ND grad filters it will look much better than hdr

>>2872283
OK I will look into it. How will an Nd grad filter improve the image over hdr?

>>2872283
How would something like this fare?

It will look more natural, less HDR
look at alex burkes work it pretty much relies on ND filters.
>>2872290
This should be fine

These cheap filters are generally very shit. You'll lose alot of image quality and gain a heap of colour cast and light leak. They are probably alright for learning the basics of ND filters, but don't expect to get good results.

I do believe you don't need neither colour no sky.

This.

I bought a Cokin set with graduated NDs for like $200. It was expensive and I don't find myself needing them all that much, but for shots like this, I've been glad I had them.

>just delete half the detail then make black and white, because BW is artsy
this is why you suck at photography and no one but your aunt will ever buy your prints.
