I really should have waited until this morning instead of rushing to
send some emails last night, so I will try again today.
I received one of the normal information emails from Singh Ray filters
(which I get after purchasing one from them) and it described with
pictures one digital photographer using his vario filter (combined ND
and polarising) to get better colours in his images. In addition to this
I was interested by Chuck's comments on shooting with high iso and
flash, so I experimented with that and noted that I could get reasonable
results up to 1250 iso but certainly fine at 800 so I set the ND part to
minimum and tried some shots.
Obviously all shots are as they came from aperture with no processing by me.
Here I loved the colours but couldn't decide between portrait

or landscape

all but the 180/2 shots were taken with this filter attached which I
feel HAS improved the colour
next I was interested in the arguments of those who prefer post
processing to that provided by a filter, I am sure you could tone down
the highlights post but the filter certainly makes it easier for the sensor

Just thought some of you might be interested.
