Graduated ND advice

4 months 3 weeks ago #745716 by Pauly 6 String
Hello. I’m getting a set of Cokin graduated ND’s. Have a decent understanding of its use. 

My question is if horizon is not flat across the entire screen such as in mountains what will the exposure of those parts be like?

Will they be obviously underexposed?

The portion of the subject that falls within the neutral density area will receive less exposure than the filter's clear area. Meter the scene through the filter, and you will see the effect of the graduated neutral density portion. Spot metering helps here.
