When you’re shooting low-light landscape scenes, the sky is an important component in the composition of a balanced photo. By emphasising certain elements, such as stars or the moon, you add an extra touch to your image. It may sound paradoxical to talk about using filters, since filters are usually associated with reducing the amount of light that reaches the sensor, but when you’re shooting with long exposure times, this is no longer quite so important.
