With apologies for the thread necrophilia, but graduated filters bring back memories of car magazines of the 1980's, when you couldn't buy a copy of Car without it being stuffed full of pictures of cars usually parked in front of a rocky outcrop in the Brecon Beacons under grey, moody, depressingly overcast skies.
I'm involved with a company which supplies car-related content to magazines, and these days I rarely see any shots taken with graduated filters. Which is a shame in some ways.
I've got a set of Cokin filters stashed away somewhere...
