This image is a perfect example of how to use the Live GND (Graduated Neutral Density Filter) in the OM-1, OM-1 Mark II and OM-3 to help make your skies pop! The tonal difference between the foreground and the sky meant that exposing to the right for the foreground means you would blow out the sky! This feature allows me to skip the annoying process of using a physical filter and quickly turn on and off the built-in graduated neutral density filter!
