If you use Lightroom, there's a devastatingly effective graduated ND filter
available that, with a little bit of practice, can transform the way you
work. It's much more usable than it first appears when opening it. For
example, I have had occasion on a number of shots from top to bottom, then
overlaid from bottom to top. You also can go side to side, or at angles.
Takes a bit of getting used to, but it will cause you to put your ND
filters on eBay. (Hyperbole Alert!)
