I have been wondering about buying a set of Lee filters - not cheap but supposed to be best. Now this is something that has been bugging me, if for example I used a grad filter to better balance the land exposure and the sky what would be the big advantage over doing bracketed exposure? In my ignorance I can't see much benefit of one approach over the other. Looking at it from a practical point of view I would have thought bracketing was more convenient - I wouldn't have to worry about hard or soft grad filters and skies that did not have a horizontal base to them.
I suspect I am missing something so any advice or comments would be welcome.
